Jerome Moross - The Big Country
Review by Rhiannon Angell
The album The Big Country by Jerome Moross is a classic masterpiece that showcases the composer's incredible talent and skill. The album features the complete original score from the 1958 film of the same name, which was directed by William Wyler and starred Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons, and Carroll Baker.
The music in the album is a perfect blend of classical and western styles, and Moross's use of orchestration is simply breathtaking. The album's opening track, "Main Title," sets the tone for the entire album with its sweeping strings and bold brass. The album's other standout tracks include "The Welcoming," "The Waltz," and "The Big Country," which are all beautifully arranged and executed.

Summary by Rhiannon Angell
Comments
William Wyler directed the movie. You know had to be good. He also directed Ben Hur with Heston.
This is without a doubt one of most " beautiful motion picture themes" ,ever produced !!!! The first time I heard it on long play record , I fell in love with it and wrote down the name of it . It is truly a MASTERPIECE !! Mark Switzer
This musical score just grips your heart ❤ darn....thanks
I've always wondered where Yes got that epic melody from!
Extraordinary music. Brilliant film. Super cast.
The man who made this knew what he was doing alright ! So many themes and stories are held within these tunes. Music is a real language.
The real western fans know this one.

Great movie. How can you go wrong with Gregory Peck, Charleton Heston, Burl Ives (Oscar), Chuck Conners, Jean Simmons and Carol Baker? A Jerome Moross Oscar nominated theme. Top 5 western along with Mag 7, GBU, Shane of which also have great soundtracks,
The music suck!!!!
The big muddy, what a picture.
best film music ever...
One of the most majestic themes to ever come out of Hollywood.
Great movie, outstanding score. Just try to assemble an all star cast like that today...good luck! Fell in love at age 10 with Jean Simmons in this movie. I have the anniversary DVD and view it once each year.
How, pray tell, does 'one support the publisher to get the full listening experience'? About the most idiotic statement I have ever encountered from this inept YouTube uploader.
You can see the horses running with tail streaming behind them, Oh the old days music ,was so beautiful. How anyone can see a movie and not hear the music amazes me. It's all about the music !
Magnificent, stirring score by Jerome Moross.
You can just picture the wide open spaces of the west in this theme !!!
I wish you could download the entire soundtrack. My old vinyl is worn out
I always enjoyed how little the fiancée understood the man she intended to marry as opposed to the woman who would sell her waterhole to him. (I’m terrible with names…sorry.) there aren’t any cliches, either. The music portrays this with such elegance.
And Slim Pickens was the stunt rider that got on Old Thunder as Peck watched.
