The Magnificent Seven | Theme | Elmer Bernstein

Elmer Bernstein’s theme for The Magnificent Seven must rate as one of the most emotive Western themes ever and after more than 40 years it can still cause goose bumps.

Elmer Bernstein was a true movie master and is responsible for some of the most iconic theme tunes of the second half of the 20th Century. His incredible body of work includes The Great EscapeMy Left FootCape FearThe Age of Innocence and the original music for The Blues Brothers, but although nominated for an Oscar 14 times for his scores, he only won once – for Thoroughly Modern Millie.
