ZULU DAWN is more historically accurate than ZULU, from small details like pouring tea over white helmets to the actual events surrounding the fighting at Isandlwana. It's a great film.
"The Zulus in overwhelming numbers, launched a highly disciplined attack on the slopes of the mountain of Isandlwana and in spite of gallant resistance, the column was completely.....annihilated"
@Big Chap Total annihilation💪 i think if LORD CHELMSFORD bring in the whole force. just like they did in THE BATTLE OF ULUNDI be it BULL HORN STRATEGY that the ZULUS had. it was NO EFFECT at all. thats why THE BRITISH won.
The final track is very eerie. Such a great soundtrack, it captures the setting perfectly and it sums up the longest day in the empires history. It's when crealock says to him about rorkes drift - the instrumental sequence throughout that final scene was superb
The scenes of carnage left by the zulus and the fact that as Chelmsford was observing the damage done the battle of rokes drift was happening. The reason the British lost was it was poor leadership and tactics. Major Russell's rockets were completely exposed and away from the firing lines. Durnford horse were on the extreme left and some how ended on the right handsome of the camp. Steward smiths artillery was well positioned but with no barricades round the camp the zulus made ground quicker which forced the British to break their lines and run back through the tents. The British never lost a fight behind barricades. Which is why rorkes drift was a victory for the British.
This is one of the Un-John Barry score I've heard from John Barry. It sounds so different from anything I'd heard from him and it's great. I love how unabashedly patriotic and gung-ho it sounds. There's a sense of the epic and light-hearted in it.
Quentin Tarantino used an excerpt from this soundtrack in Inglourious Basterds in the scene toward the end when the film is being shown in the theatre. I've read that it was his way of paying tribute to Zulu Dawn.
Die menschlichen Stimmen klingen eher abendländisch als afrikanisch. Aber die ganze Aufführung ist echt spannend und großartig mit farbenprächtigen Töne aller Instrumente. Die Trommelschläge klingen besonders eindrucksvoll. Genialer Komponist/Dirigent!
One of Elmer Bern steins best ever, dare say better than magnificent seven or great escape. The its balance British marching sounds and african charging sounds, and you can feel the assagi going into flesh!
¡que gran compositor fuiste Elmer Bernstein pues tienes en tu haber muchas partituras geniales¡ Por lo demas AMANECER ZULU me gusto sobre todo como unos salvajes tan solo con sus lanzas y escudos les dieron para el pelo a los mejor armados y orgullosos britanicos en el lugar conocido como Indslwana.
O.K. - I just got to first time listen to this film score; "Zulu Dawn"...and, I like it for it pretty much sounds like the motion pictures being released in the mid 1970's onto the 1980's. Let's just say to describe the movies of that era...they were "grand in music" and becoming more and more reliant on "special effects" (but, sadly enough, not "true acting ability"). Some of you music/cinema older fans miss the great acting of the 1930's - 1960's, I bet. As to this film score...kind of up beat in feeling. It sure isn't the 1964 released movie, "Zulu" sound of John Barry's style (which I like still). 2/3's through the score, I get that John Williams "Star Wars" feel and the "Harry Potter" / "Narnia" movie type endings. Oh well...literally all the film composers followed some the "leaders" of the time [Williams & Goldsmith] were those "leaders", I think. Oh...this movie...did I ever see it? No. I wonder why since I liked "Zulu"?
Tom Foster It's not a bad film Zulu Dawn 1979 good actors in Peter O'Toole Burt Lancaster Simon Ward Sir John Mills Denholm Elliott and Bob Hoskins! Not as good as Zulu 1964 though!🤨💂💂🤠🔫🔫🔫🐴🐎🏞️🇬🇧🇮🇪🏴🇿🇦
Hello Vincent! the complete film score of Bernstein's 'Saturn 3' is available, well, no more probably, as it came out in 2006, limited edition and is hard to get now! soundtrackcollector.com/title/26087/Saturn+3 All the best! Fred
I like this movie, it's just a shame they couldn't have used more extras; there looked to be about 150 British during the battle. The use of Martini Henry carbines bugs me a bit too, but I'm nit picking!
@@thefoundationpersonel3719 Agree never underestimate the BULL HORN STRATEGY( HEADS OF THE BUFFALO) KING SHAKA was totally i would say THE AFRICAN NAPOLEON?
@@tristmac617 they played this in site called roblox there are games from various creators made on roblox game system, engine, and there is zulu war game where is this music when you shoot africans in zulu style as british colonial soldier like in the movie

Wonderful movie, and wonderful soundtrack.

Nearly out of bleeding ammunition.

The "River Crossing" theme (about 2:50) captures perfectly a 19th century colonial army marching into enemy territory.
For God, Queen, and Country.

?
This is not "Zulu" by John Barry. It's "Zulu Dawn" by Elmer Bernstein.
Elmer Bernstein scored Zulu dawn!!!! .....not John Berry!!!
Underrated prequel...and a riveting score but maestro Bernstein.
2:50 oooooh wee, thats "Sir John's Moore's March" sounds amazing!
My favorite movie. Thank you so much for uploading the soundtrack! What a joy!
Great movie great soundtrack, you feel the tension in the music right to the very end

Wow Great movie great soundtrack thanks for uploading :)
Glory is such a great track.
This is one of the very movies in which the director tried to stay as close to the actual history as possible.
awesome soundtrack
after john barry for the 1st film . it had to be someone of bernsteins reputation for the sequel
