Stunning,magical and haunting all at once. You'd never know from hearing this small section that this was a soundtrack to one of the most iconic horror films ever.
Many in the business consider him one of the three greatest composers of scores of all time. He was incredibly versatile and could score a wide different set of genres. Even if if the films themselves sometimes were less good (or even bad) his scores always made them watchable. It's hard to imagine Alien without his great score. Imagine if the film had just used the generic "scary violins, brass instruments, theremin" sounds used in regular horror movies at the time? It would have appeared like just another cheap thrill. Jerry Goldsmith's score sounds mysterious, ominous, emotional and tickles the imagination of the viewer. Here's why I like him. I liked movie scores even as a child and long before I bothered to check who made them I hummed along to them and recognized them. It wasn't until my late teens I started checking who had composed all those themes and I quickly discovered that many of my favorites had been composed by this Jerry Goldsmith guy. Other composers tend to be formulaic and many of their scores remind of others they did. Today there are many "generic" movie scorers. Without the movies themselves their scores don't stand out on their own. Many only work with a specific genre or director. Jerry Goldsmith was really good at composing scores that captures the human psyche and emotions. Unlike others who overdramatize them with bombastic scores and who try to take over the audience's reaction he wisely just played on it and maintained it so that it feels real and not forced and artificial.
Christine Fury Loved your comment. As a kid in the 1970s & 80s, I bought every Goldsmith soundtrack I could get my hands on. I played them so much, I’d know each one by heart. For me, each of his scores was like a new & exciting meal, because they were always different, so satisfying. Special! I know you know exactly what I’m saying. The people around me were all about John Williams due to Star Wars & the films that came afterword, but I was a staunch Goldsmith fan. If there was a person I wish I could meet or could’ve met, it would be Mr. Goldsmith. His music was the soundtrack to my youth.
I love watching this magnificent orchestra perform Jerry's rejected End title to Alien. Lovely end title that could only come from a master like Jerry goldsmith.
@@hannesnaumann7101It was written by Goldsmith for the end titles of the film. But it was replaced by Hanson's Symphony no. 2. But Goldsmith's piece was used in a different part of the film.
I just finished watching (and re-watching) (and re-re-watching) the 4K remaster of _Alien_ issued last week for the 40th anniversary. (Holy hell, can it really have been *four decades* since the film's release?) First of all, go buy a good 4K TV, then go buy a good 4K Blu-ray player, and then go buy this disc. _Alien_ is a dark movie in more ways than one; seeing it in HDR revealed shadow details I hadn't seen since I was a frightened fifteen-year-old sitting in that theater all those years ago. But secondly (and the reason for this comment), one of the features of the 4K release is that you can replay the 1979 version of the movie with Jerry Goldsmith's complete original soundtrack. Unfortunately, the movie's dialogue and sound effects are not available in this mode (it's literally just JG's music when this selection is made), but it still gives you a clear sense of what the film would have been like if Ridley Scott had retained 100% of Goldsmith's masterpiece. It's the version I grew up with, so maybe I'm biased as a result, but with all due respect to the master I do think that _Alien_ works better with the final '79 score. By no means does that take anything away from the genius of Goldsmith's original composition; it's a magnificent achievement all on its own. In fact, the *one* substitution that I would have made in the official score is the end title track you just heard. I think it works better than the classical Hanson piece; it recalls the leitmotifs scattered throughout the film and neatly ties up the musical story of the movie in its thrilling crescendo. But enough of me blathering. Diego Navarro and his orchestra did a magnificent job with the end title. If there is an afterlife, I'm sure that Jerry Goldsmith would have been thrilled with this performance. Now stop sitting there and go watch the _Alien_ 4K Blu-ray! After forty long years, us fans finally have the definitive archival copy of this game-changer film.
I will respectfully disagree on the omission of this piece over the end credits. ;) I caught this flick on opening day in '79 at an L.A. morning matinee. I was in my early 20's, not a horror fan, and the movie left me emo traumatized LOL. At the end, I was grateful for the bliss and triumphantly hopeful notes of Hanson's symphony. (Who knew what lay in store for Ripley??) However, I do love the horn-driven theme, reminds me of Copland.
Absolutely love LOVE this score Mr Goldsmiths best. Owned LP back in the day and nearly wore it out! Always wondered why the studio butted in and removed so much of Goldsmiths riveting music. Try listening to the entire album in total darkness by yourself. Your certain to experience chills. Thanks for your enthusiastic post regarding this haunted house in space classic!
A truly haunting and beautiful piece of music. Similar to many from the days of classical but infused with a contemporary sense of beginning, exploration and humility in the face of the unknown. Horror movie music has seldom been so expressive or, dare I say it, romantic. It has a near calming reassurance on an audience that while they've spent the last 2 hours in state of fright, there is hope on the horizon. Yet, in the last dramatic chords of it's all but inevitable conclusion, we are warned never to forget that whatever the future holds, joy and peril are but the proper balance in the eternal ying/yang that is the universe we all live in. The music used in the actual film over the closing credits is a real piece of classical music and although it has this same eerily soothing effect, once anyone who bothered to listen to the original soundtrack album heard what Jerry Goldsmith had in mind, it is difficult to believe that this isn't what we actually heard as it a culmination of the many themes and delivered to us in this intoxicating, rhapsodic rush. I tested people who said they'd never go to a horror movie and subject themselves to something frightening by playing this without telling them what it was from and challenged them to guess. No one ever thought the sound of "Alien" could ever be something like this. While not much of a fan of soundtrack music played live, I was impressed with the seriousness Diego Navarro gave to it and enjoyed how passionate he became while conducting. I thought it was a taped session and had no idea it was live somewhere until the applause at the end which both startled me and won me over.
@@irynamelnychuk1605 YES! I saw a performance of the planets by the St. Louis symphony as a young child on a school field trip and that was the first time that music had so much "body" to it. It wasn't just notes but the notes told a story that had some meat to it. I was a space nerd since I this was during the time of the Apollo moon missions and I never had seen where music could meld with science. Thanks for opening that long last memory.
So captivating to see this conductor and his orchestra perform the great Jerry Goldsmith's alltime classic end title to Alien! They made it sound excatly like Jerry's version. This could easily be the video to Jerry's magnificent end title!!!
Love JG's quote in an interview he said where others turn left he turned right to see where that went, who knows where the music will go. You definately stretched our imaginations which is what music should do. Sum's up his very adaptable style.
One thing I love about this end titles score is that at the end, it leaves one thinking it's not the end of the struggle. There will be more to come. When I first saw the movie, this made me think the Alien had implanted Ripley or the cat and that whoever found them would be in for a big surprise!
This music is part of the 20th Century musical legacy : let's never forget it. Along with Bartok, Shostakovitch, Varese, Ligeti, Penderecki and so many other great composers of the modern era, we shall mention John Williams, Leonard Rosenman, Bernard Herrmann, Jerry Goldsmith and so many other. This particular piece reminds me of Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe musical sunrise... Thank you Mr Goldsmith.
'Final report of the commercial starship Nostromo, third officer reporting. The other members of the crew, Kane, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash and Captain Dallas, are dead. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off one of my favourite classic CI-FI movies of my years of young girl (1979 and the 80,s)
The music is amazing. Seeing it performed live, even more amazing (and the raptorous applause at the end...). Man I wish I could get my hands on the sheet music
This was never used in the actual film, however it is still a brilliant piece of music. No other composer writes greater sci-fi scores than Jerry Goldsmith.
This piece itself, intended for the closing credits, was not used. Similar-sounding passages can be heard in some of the other cues which Ridley Scott did use in the film, such as the Nostromo's landing sequence.
Beautiful and well performed live end title to the soundtrack Alien. The conductor and his orchestra perfectly paid tribute to my 2nd favorite movie composer Jerry Goldsmith. This was one of the many many famous cues of Jerry. Would've loved to have been at this particular performance and seen this orchestra play live Jerry's powerful and wonderfully melodic end title from Alien!
Yul Johnson Thank you. I have never encountered a film composer who can wrote The Artist Who Did Not Want To Paint to Planet of the Apes to The Blue Max in a span of three years. Or writing Poltergeist to The Secret of NIMH to First Blood in a single year. And even from Capricorn One to The Boys from Brazil to Star Trek: The Motion Picture to Alien to The Great Train Robbery, back-to-back-to-back. Even John Williams called him a musical chameleon who lasted in the movie industry for so long because he had a fresh approach to scoring. What range.
Your welcome Chuck razor and i agree. 1982 was a remarkable year for the great Jerry Goldsmith as he did the music to First blood, secret of nihm and Poltergeist. All of them excellent scores! Very interesting to hear that my number one music composer John Williams gave him a well deserved accolade. These 2 men are undeniably the best in the business. I like awhole lot of others composers too but these 2 are at the very top. The final conflict is also another favorite of mine by Jerry goldsmith Chuck. Great composer!!
@@yuljohnson847 Yes! John Williams is certainly in my top 5 for sure. The Final Conflict is also one of my faves from Goldsmith for sure; that opening fanfare to The Fox Hunt to The End Titles are just incredible pieces from the master! Not to mention the love theme from Chinatown and Basic Instinct, and yet he can also wrote such epic themes for The Wind and the Lion as well as The Ghost and the Darkness. Again, I can't help but admire the range of Goldsmith. Btw, did you know that John Williams played piano on two of Jerry Goldsmith's scores? Try listening to Williams' virtuoso playing for Goldsmith's cue, "A Game of Pools" from Studs Lonigan; a jazzy score that you can play side by side with Williams' Catch Me If You Can.
BRAVO! Diego Navarro and Fimucite knocked that one out of the park. I usually don't care for score adaptations or re-recordings but they know what they are doing and they never disappoint.
Oh my God, this is so damn fantastic! Hearing and seeing it live is a dream coming true! And what an exelent quality... Goosebumps all over!!!! I IMMEDIATELY ordered the DVD/CD set at Varese Sarabande especially as it is limited to 3.000 copies only!!!! Thank you for sharing!
ChuckRazor Ah, thanks for the correction. I just checked that and only the 4th movie is not credited to either Jerry Goldsmith nor Leonard Rosenman (#2 and #5 of the Apes movies) or to anyone for that matter...
The Howard Hanson sinfonia No2 The Romantic is what all we Alien fans have come to accept as the closing orchestral piece and it fits well.Would love to see and hear Goldsmiths original score and end scenes put together.
You can do that on both the Quadrilogy and Anthology Blu Ray sets with the isolated music scores option. Same with ALIENS so you can hear where different parts of the score James Horner wrote were supposed to be at versus the finished film.
That's a dream of mine as an adult. If I had loads of money I would hire an orchestra to travel all around the world to give concerts of my favourite themes.
Someone on here has said this was never used in the actual film but elements of it was particularly during the scene when the exploratory shuttle first goes down to investigate the 'Alien' planet.
@@juaqui7565, men alien es tremenda pelicula la estrene en el 79 ,yo era un niño,...pero nunca olvides que esta es la autentica joya de la ciencia ficcion del año 68 antes de que el hombre pisara la luna ruclips.net/video/e-QFj59PON4/видео.html&ab_channel=ilcon
It's hard to find out in time through the mainstream media about soundtrack music concerts. It's better now with the Internet. You had to rely on monthly film magazines in the 1980's / early 1980's and their publishing deadlines meant they printed the concert info either very close to the concert of even after. You have to keep your eyes open and know the best websites. I missed an SF film music concert in Dublin, Ireland a few years ago and only saw the advert afterwards.
El grandioso tema de Jerry Goldsmith... que el tontorrón de Ridley Scott sustituyo por los temp track de otras bandas sonoras del mismo autor. Por suerte la magnífica banda sonora original no usada en la película ha sobrevivido a todo eso. Magnífica interpretación por parte de la orquesta.
This is NOT the end title! Director Ridley Scott used a portion of Howard Hanson’s Romantic Symphony for the end titles and also for when Ripley blows the alien out of the shuttle. Neither Hanson nor Goldsmith were at all happy about it. I believe this is Goldsmith’s Symphonic Suite from Alien.
It was released on LP in 1979 and is hardly unfamiliar to ALIEN fans. Rawlings, Scott and Fox's choices for the film served the movie better ultimately, even though Goldsmith's entire score is sublime. The Freud material works better in the acid test and air-ducts scenes. And Howard Hanson's Sinfonia piece is perfect conclusion.
Jerry Goldsmith, Alan Silvestri, Basil Poledouris, John Williams, James Horner, the greatest of the great.
And Elliot Goldenthal
Ennio Morricone surely belongs on that list too.
And so many more, friend, starting with the first legend, Max Steiner.
James Horner wasn´t that great. He basically stole from others.
And Hans Zimmer of course
The lone trumpet is my favorite part
hauntingly beautiful sound. What a genius Goldsmith was.
You are correct on that 😀
saddest melody ever.
if you like it hear CHARLES IVES - the unanswered question
Stunning,magical and haunting all at once. You'd never know from hearing this small section that this was a soundtrack to one of the most iconic horror films ever.
I think we can all agree this probably should have been in end credits
Jerry was a genius. He will always be my favorite film composer.

My favorite of his was the beginning and end themes to "Capricorn One."
KutWrite Oh my gosh! Me too! Where were you when I was a kid, a geek who collected Jerry Goldsmith records?

A. Xak Well you should listen to The Omen then, composed by the same guy who wrote this. That even won an Oscar for Best Original Score!
You should check out ''Saturn'' by Gustav Holst, its most likely where Goldsmith got his inspiration for the movie's opening title

The Howard Hanson sinfonia No2 The Romantic is what all we Alien fans have come to accept as the closing orchestral piece and it fits well.Would love to see and hear Goldsmiths original score and end scenes put together.
It's on one of the DVD releases as an isolated alternate score.
You can do that on both the Quadrilogy and Anthology Blu Ray sets with the isolated music scores option. Same with ALIENS so you can hear where different parts of the score James Horner wrote were supposed to be at versus the finished film.
That is so cool.
Listening to this played live is probably the closest to perfect I've ever heard.

I wish this was in the movie.
I have an older DVD with the original score as "alternate audio track" locked to the film. (without dialogues/sfx, though)
So Do I.

Some of the same themes are used elsewhere, but the music isn't taken directly from this end-titles piece.
It's hard to find out in time through the mainstream media about soundtrack music concerts. It's better now with the Internet. You had to rely on monthly film magazines in the 1980's / early 1980's and their publishing deadlines meant they printed the concert info either very close to the concert of even after. You have to keep your eyes open and know the best websites. I missed an SF film music concert in Dublin, Ireland a few years ago and only saw the advert afterwards.
Great homage to Holst’s saturn and the planets as a whole
So epic
Perfect tho
IKR!
lol It really is Raymond!
Самый красивый soundtrack в истории!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to drift into an endless sunset whilst waltzing to this and and in hand with a beautiful women...
same mood as R.Strauss Alpine symphony
Wish I could get published sheet music for this for piano. Would be an honor to play this on my keyboard
super
El grandioso tema de Jerry Goldsmith... que el tontorrón de Ridley Scott sustituyo por los temp track de otras bandas sonoras del mismo autor. Por suerte la magnífica banda sonora original no usada en la película ha sobrevivido a todo eso. Magnífica interpretación por parte de la orquesta.
This is NOT the end title! Director Ridley Scott used a portion of Howard Hanson’s Romantic Symphony for the end titles and also for when Ripley blows the alien out of the shuttle. Neither Hanson nor Goldsmith were at all happy about it. I believe this is Goldsmith’s Symphonic Suite from Alien.
This is PARTICULARLY good to hear live since it never even made it into the film thanks to Ridley Scott...
It was released on LP in 1979 and is hardly unfamiliar to ALIEN fans. Rawlings, Scott and Fox's choices for the film served the movie better ultimately, even though Goldsmith's entire score is sublime. The Freud material works better in the acid test and air-ducts scenes. And Howard Hanson's Sinfonia piece is perfect conclusion.
They don't make music like this anymore for movies, if feels like we've lost the focus.
This'll make yuh cry unhinged in ah spit
This was not in the film. It ended up being used in alien covenant.
True, but this is what Goldsmith originally composed for the end credits before Ridley decided to use Sinfonia No. 2 instead.
It's a nightmare that this gets 800 hits and the crap that gets millions.
