God Bless Yul Bruner, Charles Bronson, Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn, James Coburn, Eli Wallach and Horst Buchholz. Seven heros of the greatest western ever.
I was driving across Wyoming about 14 years ago. Came across a great area near Buffalo Bill Reservoir. I had this song on the The Magnificent Seven soundtrack so I plugged it into my car's CD player and cranked it up. Wonderful feeling of the wild open west in both scenery and sound.
This is the finest performance of this song ever! The timing, harmonics and notes are absolutely perfect and beautiful! There are few performances that I wish I could have experienced in person and this is at the top of that one-in-a-lifetime list. Superb performance!!!!!!
Elmer Bernstein wrote the "Most Well Known Film Score" in Movie History. Billions of People Have Heard It. It has been 58 years. It is Still The Best! I was five years old when it was released in 1960. There Has Never Been Anything Before- Or Since -To Take It's Place In My Heart. It Is So Awesome! Absolutely Incomparable. Wonderfully and Utterly Pure Genius! The Greatest Western Film Of ALL TIME.
The coolest western ever made - it was the dialogue and the cast which made it so good even the bad guys had great lines. This superb theme was the icing on the cake.
Just Beautiful, Wonderful, and Awesome!! I have always loved the theme music to The Magnificent Seven! Whenever I hear it it ignites something in me! Elmer Bernstein composed a great masterpiece! I have always loved the original 1960 movie with Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Cobourn, Brad Dexter, and Horst Buchholtz. They were true, authentic, genuine actors! I still watch it over and over! Greatest cowboy movie of all time in my opinion! This was also the theme music for the Marlboro Man commercials and I loved those commercials as well, even though I never smoked; I especially loved the ones starring Darrell Winfield the real Marlboro Man! 👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉❤😍🤩🥰
I've never commented here but this has got to be my 50th time looking at this orchestra playing the best western ever. The firt time i went to a movie, this was the movie at the Lindell show on Grand ave. in St Louis Missouri in 1960, i was ten years old. I believe my neighbor took her children (my friends), and she ask my mother could i go. My mother said yes and told me i needed some money, she gave me $1.00. That dollar got me in the movie and it also got me a box of popcorn and a piece of candy. I love this tune, this is the first tune to introduce me to an orchestra. I found this because i was looking for an orchestra playing the "theme from a summer place" by Percy Faith.
i've seen this movie when i was 11 yrs old, i love the cowboy scenery, specially the gunfight rinding in a horse, and the actor are the best, charles bronson, steve mcqueen, yul bryner and the others, what a great movie, and a great theme song specially with the orchestra playing...I really..really love this piece.....
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING PERFORMANCE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC, ONE OF THE GREATEST WESTERN THEMES. I get goosebumps and tears come to my eyes and I relish in the aural delight, why? Why do I cry? Is it the memory of my lost youth? Is it the memory of my mother taking me to the cinema to see this in 1961/62? Whatever is is, I get the most beautiful feeling inside as I absorb this masterpiece into every fibre of my being.
After A COPELAND Like Introduction , Bernstein Swiftly Establishes HIS OWN Voice With THE GREATEST WESTERN THEME OF ALL TIME !!! Let's Face IT !! IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SOUND MORE WESTERN THAN THIS !! Yippie Yo Hi Yeh !!! GO WEST YOUNG MAN !!!.....
When it was in the theater, my older brother and I were taken to the theater by our Dad. I've never forgotten that. Till this day I watch it at least once a year. Great movie. As we got older . At the drive -in we saw the good, the bad ,the ugly. Now that was a great music score also. Two fantastic movies.
A-MEN!!! NOT ONLY IS IT THE ABSOLUTE BEST WESTERN THEME SONG EVER RECORDED BUT THE MOVIE "THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN" WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST WESTERNS EVER FILMED!!! DOC
Watching the musicians and seeing how all the parts came together to create this masterpiece was amazing . My favorite movie theme song of all time just got better . Thank you for posting .
Wonderful! I recall my excitement when I saw this movie for the first time on TV in Japan. I was 13. The Big Country, The Great Escape, all sounded similar to each other and all of them were great movies. I fell in love with everything American.
The producers told Bernstein that they needed a score that softened the passive effect of men just riding around on horseback. Bernstein gave us this quick-paced masterpiece and this arrangement, played by one the absolutely great orchestras in the world is deep, rich and has some bottom depth. Thanks for this vid. Indeed, this piece is breathless.
Beautiful music for one of my favorite westerns ever made I saw this gift of a gem with my father at the State theatre in Bay City, Tx in 1960 back when going 2 a movie was a treat at 40 cents a box of popcorn set u back 15 cents and a large rootbeer 20 cents those days r gone 4ever that same yr me my parents we saw physco and in 62 at the same theatre my father and I went and saw another Hollywood gem with Gregory Peck and Anthony Quinn, The Guns of Navarone thank u God JEHOVA 4 those precious memories I will carry 2 the grave.
There are many people who have tried to copy Elmer Bernstein's Magnificent Seven music, they always add a bit extra in or can not get the exact sound, this is simply wonderful and the best I have heard, congratulations on a wonderful performance and you should all be proud
This is got to be considered a peace of classical music.When Elmer Bernstein wrote this song it is a song that I have liked for years since it was used in the movie. The orchestra was great.
Got got thru watching all 4 Magnificent Seven movies this past weekend. Positively one of the BEST theme songs ever composed. Incredible mind to have come up with it.
In 1971 I was transferred to the USS Henry B. Wilson, DDG-7. Can anyone guess the nickname our ship had? We were commissioned in 1960! Whenever we did anything really cool this was the music we played on the 1MC. 49 years later I still love this music. This is one of the best versions of it I have ever heard.
This performance of a wonderful song just made the world brighter. Think I'll watch the movie for about the 50th time tonight. One of my top three favorite movies, and this music is a great part of it.
what an amazing soundtrack to an amazing film!!the remake will never match the 1960s version with yul brynner,steve mcqueen,charles bronson.james coburn!etc
When Sergio Leone was casting his “Spaghetti Western”, A Fistful of Dollars ... he wanted James Coburn. Unfortunately Coburn, coming off two great films: The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape - was too expensive. So, a recent TV star from Rawhide, Clint Eastwood was proposed. Fortunately for Leone, Clint Eastwood brought his own wardrobe to Italy & Spain for the film. The ‘Man with No Name’ was in Leone’s Trilogy. For the music he turned to his childhood classmate and friend, Ennio Morricone (now 92).
I totally agree with Jeremy Spicer on this being one of if not the greatest music pieces ever recorded and the Temple Square Orchestra sure did it justice. Thumbs Up!!!
+ Truth can't be silenced......I was thinking of how I could word my praise of this post......I'm afraid you summed it up more eloquently than I could have done....Gongrats indeed! The music is beautiful, but as you said, so is the post!
That's EXACTLY the energy of the movie. 7 heroes coming together to fight a fight they're almost guaranteed to lose, but still a fight they can't walk away from.
What a honour to be in that audience, amazing music a brilliant film with truely great actors, name seven order actors that could play those parts today in 2020, you can't bronson, mc Queen, and yul, they don't make them like that anymore. Rip legends your likes will never ride against.
If I close my eyes and just listen to this I can visualize in my mind the Magnificent Seven riding across the plains. Such a Grand piece of music that perfectly fits this movie. Music Score hit a bulls eye with this ‘Magnificent’ Western.
WHERE'S MY VOLUME CONTROL??!! DANG, I CAN'T GET IT LOUDER!! I want it to fill my ears and brain, it's such a magnificent arrangement, more like a short version of the suite. I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!
I am always in awe at the talent needed to write orchestral music. I have loved this piece from the first time I saw the movie many years ago. Well done.
this movie is one of my favorites with an excellent cast and can watch over and over.the music was also excellent. hats off to the person who wrote the music!
Movies and soundtracks like this are long gone.new movies have no soul.soundtracks like this ignite feeling inside your soul.long live the classics.may we enjoy these forever...
Westerns of this time had great themes and great scenery.
You're so right! Just hearing this Overture brings back that excitement!😉
Yes, priceless music and movie.
God Bless Yul Bruner, Charles Bronson, Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn, James Coburn, Eli Wallach and Horst Buchholz. Seven heros of the greatest western ever.
Eli Wallace was the Mexican outlaw band leader. What about Harry Luck, Brad Dexter?
Eli Wallach was the villain, not part of the seven.
❤❤❤
Eli Wallach played the villain, Calvera. Brad Dexter played Harry Luck, one of the Seven.
Amen❤
The BEST "western" movie score ever written.
I agree, it is a very stirring piece of music !
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT 👍👍👍....
Totally agree! My favorite western of all time! Love Yul Brynner!
For one of the best movies of all time!
Arguably the best film score ever written, western or otherwise.
I was driving across Wyoming about 14 years ago. Came across a great area near Buffalo Bill Reservoir. I had this song on the The Magnificent Seven soundtrack so I plugged it into my car's CD player and cranked it up. Wonderful feeling of the wild open west in both scenery and sound.

A perfect drive

Thank you America for this beautiful masterpiece. With Love from Iran

I know what you mean. I was 6 years old when it came out. I relate to you my friend !
The best Western of all times and the theme is also one of the greatest score .
The coolest western ever made - it was the dialogue and the cast which made it so good even the bad guys had great lines. This superb theme was the icing on the cake.
"Only the farmers won. We lost. We always lose."
What a stunning piece of music ! Performed flawlessly by this amazing group of musicians. Goosebumps
Love Eli Wallach , this music played when the “bad “ came riding into the village- McQueen, Bronson , Coburn 👍Ok
Just Beautiful, Wonderful, and Awesome!! I have always loved the theme music to The Magnificent Seven! Whenever I hear it it ignites something in me! Elmer Bernstein composed a great masterpiece!

Also, Robert Vaughn was one of the Seven! Didn't mean to leave him out.

Thank you so much our American cousins, tears flowed, magnificent performance. Terry Bird, Stroud, Gloucestershire, England.
Funny how borders disappear with great music. Spectacular.
Man, don't this theme make you wanna saddle up and ride!
Magnificent. Probably the best western movie theme ever.
The Good, the Bad and The Ugly is 2nd !
Then I have to through Silverado in there.
I feel very honored to just listen to them play
So authentic to the American West that they had to shake the trail dust out of the sheet music to perform it. Wonderful!
Awesome comment!!!
I remember watching the film when i was a kid . I'm 54 now. I watch both films 1964 and 2016.
i've seen this movie when i was 11 yrs old, i love the cowboy scenery, specially the gunfight rinding in a horse, and the actor are the best, charles bronson, steve mcqueen, yul bryner and the others, what a great movie, and a great theme song specially with the orchestra playing...I really..really love this piece.....
You only have to hear this music and you know straight away the Greatest tune to one of the greatest westerns..
Remember seeing this great film when I was 10 (55 years ago) and loved every second of it , still do .The soundtrack has always been my favourite ..
Right with you on that - same age for me and quality of film & soundtrack continues as masterpieces.
me too. gives me the chills
Exactly my age when I saw it at the theater. It knocked me over!
My friends and I went on a Saturday and sat through three showings! 😆
Me too, at the drive-in in Grand Junction Colorado in the old 57 Ford station wagon. I was 10, too.
No words can express how much I love this orchestra!!!!
They are so Awusome and so is the Choir!!!❤❤❤❤❤
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING PERFORMANCE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC, ONE OF THE GREATEST WESTERN THEMES.
I get goosebumps and tears come to my eyes and I relish in the aural delight, why? Why do I cry? Is it the memory of my lost youth? Is it the memory of my mother taking me to the cinema to see this in 1961/62? Whatever is is, I get the most beautiful feeling inside as I absorb this masterpiece into every fibre of my being.
Memories of my parents taking me to see this too with my brother and sister !
To make people clap like that must be one he'll of a feeling of pride of the highest level
After A COPELAND Like Introduction , Bernstein Swiftly Establishes HIS OWN Voice With THE GREATEST WESTERN THEME OF ALL TIME !!! Let's Face IT !! IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SOUND MORE WESTERN THAN THIS !! Yippie Yo Hi Yeh !!! GO WEST YOUNG MAN !!!.....

Outstanding Music from one of the great Films of our time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you can never re-create the Original and get away with it !!!!!
coolest tune.
One of the best movie themes ever, this performance is outstanding, really touches me.
A flawless performance of such an unforgettable theme, still sends a shiver down my spine
There are no words to express how i feel looking at the conductor and the orchestra pull this all together.
Magnificent
This brought tears to my eyes! And, when it was over, I stood up and applauded.
This is one that makes your eyes tear up. A great theme by a great composer for a great movie. The trifecta
Don't forget to hear the theme from "The Big Country". Magnificent as well!!
This performance leaves me breathless.
Manny Boy
Manny Boy
me too!! my dream is to become a professional violinist and to be in one of those huge orchestras!!.
Manny Boy well said I agree 300percent
It was the theme for the Magnificent Seven several years before it was made into a Marlboro commercial.
Wonderful! I recall my excitement when I saw this movie for the first time on TV in Japan. I was 13. The Big Country, The Great Escape, all sounded similar to each other and all of them were great movies. I fell in love with everything American.

This music is deathless. Thank you Elmer Bernstein.
This group of the most talanted musicians are outstanding my words cant enough about this orchestra. BEAUTIFUL SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL 🎉😊❤❤❤
Fresh and new. Everytime it gives an inspiration. ❤️
It matters not if one has religious beliefs, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra are wonderful. Beautiful music.
This kind of music fills my soul.
know what you mean
Amen
I agree with you! Totally!
Great movie Great music
Beautiful songs and a historic film. Thank You Bernstein.
Even when I'm listening, I'm dancing to the mystery of this orchestra.
Beautiful music for one of my favorite westerns ever made I saw this gift of a gem with my father at the State theatre in Bay City, Tx in 1960 back when going 2 a movie was a treat at 40 cents a box of popcorn set u back 15 cents and a large rootbeer 20 cents those days r gone 4ever that same yr me my parents we saw physco and in 62 at the same theatre my father and I went and saw another Hollywood gem with Gregory Peck and Anthony Quinn, The Guns of Navarone thank u God JEHOVA 4 those precious memories I will carry 2 the grave.

Every single time I hear this it reminds me of sitting with my Grandpa watching the original movie and hearing this tune. Great memories.
Fantastic peice of music.. bring back the magnificent seven they will sort out this covid in no time
What a beautiful piece of music. Elmer Bernstein was a genius for creating this! I grew up in reggae country but absolutely love it.
This is got to be considered a peace of classical music.When Elmer Bernstein wrote this song it is a song that I have liked for years since it was used in the movie. The orchestra was great.
One of the greatest theme songs of all time. I wish we had played it when I was in the band in High School.
Got got thru watching all 4 Magnificent Seven movies this past weekend. Positively one of the BEST theme songs ever composed. Incredible mind to have come up with it.
I can't think of a better use of a full orchestra. Themes from Western are the best and this one is magnificant.
In 1971 I was transferred to the USS Henry B. Wilson, DDG-7. Can anyone guess the nickname our ship had? We were commissioned in 1960! Whenever we did anything really cool this was the music we played on the 1MC. 49 years later I still love this music. This is one of the best versions of it I have ever heard.
Three years late but, Thank you for your service sir!
Greatest names have performed this fabulous number. Your orchestra is up there with the very best. Bravo performance
This performance of a wonderful song just made the world brighter. Think I'll watch the movie for about the 50th time tonight. One of my top three favorite movies, and this music is a great part of it.
what an amazing soundtrack to an amazing film!!the remake will never match the 1960s version with yul brynner,steve mcqueen,charles bronson.james coburn!etc
chris rayner don't make films like that anymore
I totally agree with you, chris!!
chris rayner can you give me some links about that? :)
and Robert Vaughn !

This theme is the *one* thing The Magnificent Seven undeniably has on Seven Samurai (whose score ain't shabby itself).
I Love that Soundtrack!!!
LOVE THIS!! It never gets old even if u listened to this song 10 times without a pause!
This is what a TEAM is! Scores of people, each doing something individually that results
in something awesome as a whole :)
Beautiful.
Great music from a great film one of the best.
This post may be more beautiful than the thing it's describing.
Congrats.
I think of this piece as we drive across the plains twice a year. Beautiful in spring and in summer.
+ Truth can't be silenced......I was thinking of how I could word my praise of this post......I'm afraid you summed it up more eloquently than I could have done....Gongrats indeed! The music is beautiful, but as you said, so is the post!
That's EXACTLY the energy of the movie. 7 heroes coming together to fight a fight they're almost guaranteed to lose, but still a fight they can't walk away from.
Wow! What a performance! One of the best western themes of all time, too!
The first few bars, before the main theme strikes up, is my favourite part.
THIS REMINDS ME OF THE OLD WESTERN CLASSICS NEVER GETS OLD.
This performance leaves me breathless. It does me to, breathless.
Words cannot express how amazing this is leaves you breathless.
This music epitomizes the beauty of God's gift of music to mankind. Just beautiful!
What a honour to be in that audience, amazing music a brilliant film with truely great actors, name seven order actors that could play those parts today in 2020, you can't bronson, mc Queen, and yul, they don't make them like that anymore. Rip legends your likes will never ride against.

This is mind blowing. What a performance and what a Masterful composition! Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic job! Wow what a theme! This really takes me back to the first time I ever saw the movie. I watch it almost every time it airs.......
It makes life all the more significant when an Orchestra celebrates what could be seen as the seemingly insignificant.
one of the best themes ever, thanks
this, the comancheros and hallelujah trail, the man was a genius
WHERE'S MY VOLUME CONTROL??!! DANG, I CAN'T GET IT LOUDER!! I want it to fill my ears and brain, it's such a magnificent arrangement, more like a short version of the suite. I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!
such an amazing piece of television directing i have never seen!!
The morman tabernacle choir is a group of amazing talanted musicians by far no one can out do them! Truly truly MAGNIFICENT!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I absolutely love instrumental western music, and this beats all I've ever heard before!
Definitely in the top five movie themes.
Truly magnificent!
Makes the spirit soar...Beautiful!
Brought back 40 yrs ....memories lane of youth....when I saw the movie.
I am always in awe at the talent needed to write orchestral music. I have loved this piece from the first time I saw the movie many years ago. Well done.
wonderful, Mastro,and orchestra! So Well done!!
This definitely goes into my bucketlist- to see the Mormon Orchestra next time I visit Salt Lake City
fantastic. need I say more? they don"t make em like this anymore!
One of my favorite themes of all time.
Movie scores are the symphonies of our time. What a gift!
The Magnificent Seven Theme is definitely in my top five of movie themes.
this movie is one of my favorites with an excellent cast and can watch over and over.the music was also excellent. hats off to the person who wrote the music!
Elmer would be/is proud! Excellent performance!
Probably one of the greatest themes of all time and a great film 😊
The greatest movie ever made, helped by the greatest theme ever written
one of the best cast ever put together.
Greatest !!!!!quel souvenir les 7 mercenaires. Magnifique !!!!! Merci, thanks Mr Elmer and your orchestre
