In Topic: What does Jerry Goldsmith's music have what John Williams's music doe...

18 May 2010 - 10:39 AM

What does Jerry Goldsmith's music have what John Williams's music doesn't?

Rage, anger, a strong personal voice, orchestral imagination, and above all an incredible rythmic energy. Well, that's what I've always loved in Goldsmith' s music and don't find in Williams's.

All I can say is, JG's music often lacks the complex orchestration of JW's music...


Listen carefully to Antonio's death in PAPILLON or Klingon battle in Star Trek TMP. In fact, the difference is that here Goldsmith creates a new ochestral sound, while Williams is always derivating (brilliantly) his music, and more specifically his orchestrations, from other composers.
