Intrada presents the premiere release of Leonard Rosenman's score to the Universal Pictures biopic The Outsider (1961). Remarkably, Rosenman’s score is built on a single 8-note motif, resulting in a lean, monothematic score to this powerful film. This motif debuts in the main title on French horn, although it’s already been hinted at seconds earlier on strings, and returns in one form or another in virtually every cue. It’s a forthright, fanfare-like motif that strives upward to reflect a sense of heroism and achievement. On its second iteration in the same cue, Rosenman is already developing it, changing the intervals to make it reach even higher. So while the score features this motif prominentaly, it becomes an artisic exercise in crafting, molding, modfying, and even disguising it as it weaves through the score. As liner note writer Frank DeWald notes, "Leonard Rosenman’s score for The Outsider is a classic example of what composers with strong compositional skills, good classical training, distinctive styles, authentic emotionalism and empathetic spirits were writing consistently during the 1950s and early 1960s?before the arrival of pop scores caused Elmer Bernstein to decry, 'Whatever Happened to Great Movie Music?'" For CD producer Chris Malone, the project came together smoothly thanks to the perfectly preservered mono elements stored in the Universal vaults. The score runs some 36 minutes with another 17 minutes of extras including alternates and unused tracks. Cover art was designed by Stephane Coedel.

Directed by Delbert Mann, the film stars Tony Curtis as Ira Hayes, a Pima Native American and one of the U.S. Marines who famously raised the flag on Iwo Jima during World War II. The film follows Hayes' journey from a quiet reservation in Arizona to the brutal battlefields of the Pacific and back home again, where he struggles with postwar trauma, alcoholism, and the burden of unwanted fame.

トニー・カーティス主演、デルバート・マン監督による1961年の伝記映画『硫黄島の英雄』のオリジナル・サウンドトラックが世界初リリース！音楽はレナード・ローゼンマン。
トラックリスト驚くべきことに、ローゼンマンのスコアは単一の8音のモチーフを基盤に構築されており、この力強い映画に簡潔で単一テーマのスコアを生み出しています。このモチーフはメインタイトルでフレンチホルンで初登場しますが、その数秒前には弦楽器で既に暗示されており、ほぼすべてのキューで何らかの形で再登場します。これは、英雄性と達成感を表現するために上へ上へと向かう、率直でファンファーレのようなモチーフです。同じキューでの2度目の登場時、ローゼンマンは既にこのモチーフを発展させ、間隔を変更してさらに高い音域へ到達させようとしています。そのため、このスコアではこのモチーフが中心的に使用されていますが、スコア全体を貫く中で、それを形作り、変形し、甚至いは隠蔽する芸術的な試みが展開されています。ライナーノートの執筆者フランク・デウォルドは次のように述べています。「レナード・ローゼンマンの『硫黄島の英雄』のスコアは、1950年代から1960年代初頭にかけて、ポップスコアの台頭によりエルマー・バーンスタインが“偉大な映画音楽はどこへ行ったのか？”と嘆く前に、作曲家たちが一貫して生み出していた、強い作曲技術、良いクラシック訓練、独自のスタイル、本物の感情表現、共感的な精神を備えた作品の典型例です。」
CDプロデューサーのクリス・マローンにとって、このプロジェクトはユニバーサルの倉庫に完璧に保存されていたモノラル音源のおかげでスムーズに進行しました。スコアは36分ほどで、代替バージョンや未使用トラックを含む17分のボーナスコンテンツが収録。カバーアートはステファヌ・コエデルがデザイン。

デルバート・マン監督によるこの映画では、トニー・カーティスがイラ・ヘイズ役を演じています。ヘイズはピマ族のネイティブアメリカンで、第二次世界大戦中にイオウジマで旗を掲げた米海兵隊の一人です。映画は、アリゾナの静かな保留地から太平洋の過酷な戦場へ、そして故郷への帰還まで、ヘイズの旅路を追います。彼は戦後のトラウマ、アルコール依存症、そして望まぬ名声の重荷と闘う姿が描かれています。
