Maestro 147 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Does anyone know if Goldsmith wrote the hymn sung by Reverend Kane ("God is in His holy temple") in Poltergeist II, whether words and/or tune? I know he's responsible for twisting it in those develish, delicious chants. But did he write the thing from scratch, or is it an existing hymn? I'm not familiar with it as such, though it's obviously very much derivative of general hymnody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldsmithFanatic2000+ 0 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Poltergeist II with its implemented synth experimentation and uniquely different approach and sound to the original is amongst the many reasons why I consider Goldsmith the greatest composer of all time.I greatly admire, and appreciate both scores. The first being the superior, more epic of the two. I would say it's Goldsmith's finest sequel score behind The Final Conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
