This is one of those scores that everyone can hum something from and it's one of John Williams' classic masterpieces. In 1995 Silva Screen released an expanded version of the original soundtrack with more, previously unreleased, music. The release also includes a thick booklet with pictures, comments by Williams and an analysis by Film Score Monthly's Lukas Kendall, making it a must have in any filmmusic fans collection. When I said that this is one of those scores anyone can hum something from I was refering to the heroic theme for Indy, of course. This theme, which has to be one of the most famous, and best, ever written for a film, opens the soundtrack in "The Raiders March", and is then used throughout the score when Indy does something heroic. There are two more themes that dominate the score, along with Indy's rousing piece of music; Marion's romantic theme, and the Ark's theme, or motif, which is a very mystical, ancient and dark theme. Together these themes, and a few more, not mentioned here, creates a splendid listening experience, filled with action, romance, terror, and action again, as this is primarily a score for an adventure film.Read full review
At last we have the music that has somehow taken decades to be made available. John Williams never wrote a bad note so this expanded version is great. The original album lacked quite a bit too, so this is really the ultimate Indy album. Maybe we can look forward to more from the other movies eventually too. Whatever Williams wrote and recorded, the fans want it. Glad to have this expanded soundtrack.
