The Parachutes - Jerry Goldsmith

"A good string section and an orchestra are the first things I think of when I start a project. The strings are particularly important to me. With them I can do any kind of picture. After the human voice, they are the most expressive instrument I know."

The three greatest movie score composers of our age team up in THE POWER OF THREE! John Williams, James Horner and Jerry Goldsmith at their very best in fifteen different movies spanning back to 1980. Buckle Up.

Merry Christmas! I've got something special for you all today. This song here is what I like to call a "crowd pleaser". I don't know what it is about it....well actually I do, but I don't know why this PARTICULAR song attracts so many people who otherwise don't really care too much about orchestral movie scores. But attract them it does, and with good reason, because Jerry's main theme to Air Force One is one of those songs that just makes you feel...patriotic. I think it also has something to do with Harrison Ford and the fact that Air Force One is just such a great and memorable movie. So here it is, with a bow on it, JUST for you. Hope everyone has a great day and a wonderful Christmas! Later!
