Goldsmithfan 3 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I just went through this phase of listening to Star Trek: TMP a lot and I really like the quasi-religious material Goldsmith employed. This got me wondering, what other scores are out there that have a lot of what might be considered spiritual music?A few Star Wars pieces come to mind, but how about some really out there stuff. I'm sure there's tons out there. I'm just too ignorant/sheltered to know about them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Well, there's The Omen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth 66 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 These aren't scores, but I can recommend three classical pieces that give me the same impression-Arvo Part's Credo, and the Symphony No.2 and Prayer of St. Gregory by Alan Hovhaness. The last two cues of Signs have a type of cathartic sound that I guess you could classify as kind of religious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,251 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Potergeist also has some of the Goldsmith religious sound.And Mission To Mars has that great big giant organ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRuleOfThirds 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Well, there's The Omen... To that end, I'd make a plug for The Final Conflict, particularly the track by that name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codanai 0 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I always thought that Elfman's music to the end of Batman, during the climb in the church, was great religious-like music. There's an organ and everything.Also, I highly suggest Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms. I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but it's some very very beautiful pious religious music.

Marcus 385 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 The "Grail Theme" from "Last Crusade"...Nothing to my ears induces a greater sense of reverence. It also captures perfectly the lore and the history of the holy grail. Whereas the "Ark of the Covenant Theme" is mysteriously majestic in an old testament-like fashion, the "Grail Theme" has my lips almost tasting the blood of Christ and the tears of the crusaders...
