Alfred Newman
David and Bathsheba
Release Date: 2000
Label: Soundstage 15 Records
Rating:

Alfred Newman's score for Henry King's David & Bathsheba (1951) is a somber one, in keeping with the seriousness of the movie's -Old Testament drama. The material is highly melodic and well played but it also lacks the memorable nature of Newman's best work, being more of a matter of great orchestrations than great composition. Even a piece called "The Rapture of Love" is more introspective and reflective than rapturous, and this is a good example of a score that works best in association with the movie for which it was written.
