  • pleasantly surprised to have found this page. elmer bernstein has always been the best film composer for me. listening to his music is like seeing a painting or beautifully woven tapestry - well, more than that in truth. lovely to read others admiration for him. my top favourite was a tune from to kill a mockingbird. and of course M seven theme - i used to play it on viberaphone at school when i was about 8 or 9 with a friend!
  • During his golden period in the 1950s and early 1960s he wrote so many incredible themes for films. Play a few bars of just one of them, like The Magnificent Seven, the mind is crowded imagery and associations. His themes are the definitive statement on jazz in the movies (Man With the Golden Arm), sultry (Walk on the Wild Side) and the expansive west (The M Seven). Thank you, Mr. Bernstein.
  • Elmer Bernstein... genious - no two ways about it. His music made those films legendary.
  • I can't believe I'm the first person to comment on this master film composer. His work paved the way for the legends of today, the likes of John Williams (or Sir John as I call him) and Danny Elfman owe Mr Bernstein there careers. May his work live on and on!
