A lot of common thought in the lists of five favorite Golden Age composers. The "old guys". Steiner kind of hovers the fence it seems. I'm kind of surprised Tiomkin made so few lists. He wasn't on my list either, however. Anyway, let's see what happens when we tackle 1950 to 1960 - the period when Golden Age writers begin to wind down and a whole host of new names bridge the crucial gap into the Silver Age. Again, as long as they created at least one bonafide film score, any composer writing between 1950 and 1960 will qualify. To keep from repetition with the Golden Age, exclude any composer who wrote something before 1950. My five: 1) Jerry Goldsmith (big surprise!) 2) Elmer Bernstein 3) Alex North 4) Leonard Rosenman 5) Malcolm Arnold (If I broke my own rules and listed a sixth it'd be Jerome Moross.) --Doug |

Tiomkin might make my top 10 but not my top 5. He has too much competition. I suspect this "silver" thread will be (a little) more diverse. In order of year of birth: E. Bernstein G. Goldsmith J. Scott J. Williams J. Barry Previn would almost make it though technically his first film scores were from c. 1948. His movie scoring career was basically 1950(ish) to mid-1960's. |

GOLDSMITH NORTH BERNSTEIN ROSENMAN GOLD I would have picked Previn or Moross but they did scores pre-1950. Moross was not terribly prolific, but damn he was good. Schifrin didn't start scoring until the 1960's. Fielding didn't start until 1962. |
