アーネスト・ゴールドは1938年、ヒトラーのオーストリア侵攻をきっかけにウィーンからアメリカに渡り、ピアノ伴奏者として、またニューヨークで人気ソングライターとして働き始めた。ソングライティングに幻滅したゴールドは、ハリウッド映画の音楽を書くことに興味を持ち、1945年に西へ向かった。7月上旬に到着して2週間も経たないうちに、ゴールドはコロンビア映画の『THE GIRL OF THE LIMBERLOST』の音楽を担当することになった。その後、ゴールドは1950年代後半まで、数多くのスタジオのために、あらゆるタイプのB級映画40本の音楽を担当しました。ゴールドはウィーン音楽の伝統を見失うことなく、大小数十本の映画に一流の音楽を提供した。
Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE ERNEST GOLD COLLECTION, VOLUME 2, featuring music composed by Ernest Gold (ON THE BEACH, EXODUS, SHIP OF FOOLS ) from several projects in his rich filmography for the very first time. THE ERNEST GOLD COLLECTION, VOLUME 2 includes music from the Western TOM HORN and the historical television mini-series LINCOLN.
LINCOLN, also known as Gore Vidal’s LINCOLN, aired in March, 1988 in two parts on the NBC network. LINCOLN focused on Abraham Lincoln’s first days in office, contending with generals who refused to fight in the Civil War and politicians who schemed to usurp his power. After the death of his son, a death that drove his wife, Mary, to the edge of madness, and a war more ferocious and bloody than anyone could imagine, Lincoln would live long enough to his dreams realized before a bullet would end his life. Directed by Lamont Johnson, starring Sam Waterston as Lincoln, Mary Tyler Moore as Mary Todd Lincoln and a cast that included Richard Mulligan, Steven Culp, Ruby Dee, Jerome Dempsey, Jeffrey DeMunn, Jon DeVries, Robin Gammell, James Gammon, Thomas Gibson, Cleavon Little, John Houseman and Glenn Faigen as John Wilkes Booth.
Anchored by a singular infectious theme, Gold’s music for LINCOLN is brimming with period songs, African-American spirituals, Christian hymns, and historic musical references using an encyclopedic stable of Civil War-era instruments including banjo, fiddle, jaw harp, spoons, fife, tenor drum, tack piano, saxophone, acoustic guitar, and brass. LINCOLN would be Gold’s last major scoring assignment.
Released in 1980, TOM HORN introduces the audience to the legendary American frontier scout, cowboy, soldier, gun-for-hire, and tracker who assisted in capturing the infamous Apache raider Geronimo. Directed by William Wiard, written by Thomas McGuane and Bud Shrake, starring Steve McQueen as Tom Horn, along with Linda Evans, Richard Farnsworth, Billy Green Bush, Slim Pickens, Elisha Cook, Roy Jenson, Geoffrey Lewiis, Bobby Bass and Mickey Jones, the movie loosely chronicles the final year of Horn’s controversial life in which his violent vigilante lifestyle finally comes home to roost. Horn embarks on a one-man crusade to kill or otherwise expel anyone rustling cattle owned by his benefactors. His violent methods force the local townsfolk to revolt against him. In an effort to restore their tarnished image, the cattle ranchers who hired Horn begin plotting his demise...
Ernest Gold was no stranger to westerns. Over a prolific career, Gold penned scores for over a dozen Western films and television episodes. Gold’s daring orchestral accompaniment harkens back to the rough, raw, and rugged ways of the wild west, beginning with his main theme for Horn. The score also includes a beautiful love theme for the relationship between Horn and Glendolene. TOM HORN remains an under-appreciated gem in Gold’s storied filmography.
Ernest Gold came to the United States from Vienna in 1938, prompted by Hitler’s invasion of Austria, and started working as a piano accompanist and as a popular songwriter in New York City. Growing disillusioned by songwriting, Gold headed west in 1945, following an interest in writing music for Hollywood films. Within two weeks of his arrival in early July, Gold was quickly put to work scoring THE GIRL OF THE LIMBERLOST for Columbia Pictures. He would score forty B-movies of all types for numerous studios through the late 1950s for a variety of studios. Gold never lost track of his Viennese musical heritage and contributed first-rate musical scores to dozens of films big and small.
He began studying with composer George Antheil in 1947, early in his Hollywood career. During the 1950s he began orchestrating Antheil’s scores, and when Antheil began scoring Stanley Kramer’s pictures, Gold came along with him. When Antheil died before finishing the score for Kramer’s next film, the post-apocalypse drama, ON THE BEACH (1959), Gold assumed his role as Kramer’s primary composer, scoring such films as INHERIT THE WIND (1960), JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG (1961), and Kramer’s blockbuster comedy, IT’S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD (1963). Meanwhile, his association with Kramer led to other A-list movies, including Otto Preminger’s EXODUS (for which Gold won an Academy Award for best score and two Grammys for best soundtrack album and best song) and Sam Peckinpah’s war movie CROSS OF IRON (1977). Gold's contributions were recognized with four Academy Award nominations and three Golden Globe nominations. His work for ON THE BEACH also won Gold a Grammy Award. His classical works also included a piano concerto, a string quartet, and a piano sonata.
Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE ERNEST GOLD COLLECTION , VOLUME 2 featuring music by Ernest Gold, appearing for the very first time on compact disc for LINCOLN and TOM HORN. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and the liner notes have been written by author and composer Brian Satterwhite.

「栄光への脱出」のアーネスト・ゴールドの作品集第2弾。初CDリリースとなる西部劇『トム・ホーン』と歴史的テレビミニシリーズ『LINCOLN』の音楽が収録されている。
トラックリスト『GORE VIDAL’S LINCOLN』としても知られる『LINCOLN』は、1988年3月にNBCネットワークで2部構成で放映された。『LINCOLN』はエイブラハム・リンカーンの就任当初に焦点を当て、南北戦争を拒否する将軍たちや、リンカーンの権力を簒奪しようと画策する政治家たちと争った。息子の死、妻メアリーを狂気の淵に追いやった死、そして想像以上に獰猛で血なまぐさい戦争を経て、リンカーンは銃弾がその生涯を終わらせる前に、夢を実現させるために長生きすることになる。監督：ラモント・ジョンソン、主演：サム・ウォーターストン（リンカーン役）、メアリー・タイラー・ムーア（メアリー・トッド・リンカーン役）、出演：リチャード・マリガン、スティーヴン・カルプ、ルビー・ディー、ジェローム・デンプシー、ジェフリー・デマン、ジョン・デブリース、ロビン・ガメル、ジェームズ・ガモン、トーマス・ギブソン、クリーヴォン・リトル、ジョン・ハウスマン、グレン・フェイゲン（ジョン・ウィルクス・ブース役）。
ゴールドの『LINCOLN』の音楽は、バンジョー、フィドル、ジョーハープ、スプーン、ファイフ、テナードラム、タックピアノ、サックス、アコースティックギター、金管楽器など、南北戦争時代の楽器を百科事典のように駆使し、時代劇の歌、アフリカ系アメリカ人の霊歌、キリスト教の賛美歌、歴史的な音楽の引用で溢れている。『LINCOLN』は、ゴールドにとって最後の大作となった。
1980年に公開された『トム・ホーン』は、悪名高いアパッチ族の襲撃者ジェロニモの捕獲に協力した伝説的なアメリカ開拓時代のスカウト、カウボーイ、兵士、雇われ銃、追跡者を観客に紹介する。監督：ウィリアム・ウィアード、脚本：トーマス・マクゲイン、バド・シュレイク、主演：スティーブ・マックィーン（トム・ホーン役）、出演：リンダ・エヴァンス、リチャード・ファーンズワース、ビリー・グリーン・ブッシュ、スリム・ピケンズ、エリシャ・クック、ロイ・ジェンソン、ジェフリー・ルウィス、ボビー・バス、ミッキー・ジョーンズ、この映画は、ホーンの暴力的な自警団のライフスタイルがついにねぐらに帰することになる、物議を醸した人生の最後の1年をゆるやかに描いている。ホーンは、自分の恩人が所有する牛をさばいている者を殺すか、さもなければ追い出すという一人十字軍に乗り出す。彼の暴力的なやり方は、地元住民の反乱を引き起こす。ホーンを雇った牧場主たちは、汚れたイメージを回復するため、ホーンの破滅を画策し始める...。
アーネスト・ゴールドは西部劇に精通していた。多作なキャリアの中で、ゴールドは10本以上の西部劇映画とテレビ・エピソードのためにスコアを書いた。ゴールドの大胆なオーケストラ伴奏は、ホーンのためのメイン・テーマで始まる西部開拓時代の荒々しく、生々しく、無骨なやり方を思い起こさせる。このスコアには、ホーンとグレンドリーンの関係を表す美しい愛のテーマも含まれている。『トム・ホーン』は、ゴールドの輝かしいフィルモグラフィーの中でも過小評価されている逸品である。
アーネスト・ゴールドは1938年、ヒトラーのオーストリア侵攻をきっかけにウィーンからアメリカに渡り、ピアノ伴奏者として、またニューヨークで人気ソングライターとして働き始めた。ソングライティングに幻滅したゴールドは、ハリウッド映画の音楽を書くことに興味を持ち、1945年に西へ向かった。7月上旬に到着して2週間も経たないうちに、ゴールドはコロンビア映画の『THE GIRL OF THE LIMBERLOST』の音楽を担当することになった。その後、ゴールドは1950年代後半まで、数多くのスタジオのために、あらゆるタイプのB級映画40本の音楽を担当しました。ゴールドはウィーン音楽の伝統を見失うことなく、大小数十本の映画に一流の音楽を提供した。
ハリウッドでのキャリアの初期、1947年から作曲家ジョージ・アンタイルに師事。1950年代、彼はアンタイルのスコアのオーケストレーションを担当するようになり、アンタイルがスタンリー・クレイマーの作品のスコアを担当し始めると、ゴールドも彼に同行するようになった。アントハイルがクレイマーの次回作であるポストアポカリプスドラマ『渚にて』（1959年）のスコアを完成させる前に亡くなると、ゴールドはクレイマーの主要作曲家としての役割を担い、『風の遺産』（1960年）、『ニュールンベルグ裁判』（1961年）、クレイマーの大ヒットコメディ『おかしなおかしなおかしな世界』（1963年）などを作曲した。一方、クレイマーとの提携は、オットー・プレミンジャー監督の『栄光への脱出』（ゴールドはアカデミー賞最優秀スコア賞、グラミー賞最優秀サウンドトラック・アルバム賞と最優秀楽曲賞の2部門を受賞）、サム・ペキンパー監督の戦争映画『戦争のはらわた』（1977年）など、他のA級映画にもつながった。ゴールドの貢献は認められ、アカデミー賞に4回、ゴールデングローブ賞に3回ノミネートされた。『渚にて』ではグラミー賞も受賞。彼のクラシック作品には、ピアノ協奏曲、弦楽四重奏曲、ピアノ・ソナタなどがある。
アーネスト・ゴールドの音楽を収録したこの「THE ERNEST GOLD COLLECTION , VOLUME 2」には、『LINCOLN』と『トム・ホーン』を初めてCDリリースとなる。音楽はDigital OutlandのJames Nelsonによってマスタリングされ、ライナーノーツは作家であり作曲家でもあるBrian Satterwhiteによって書かれている。
