Product Description

The Magnificent Seven is the theme song for the 1960 Western film of the same name. The film tells the story of a rag-tag band of American gunslingers that come to the aid of a small Mexican village terrorized by a gang of bandits. The upbeat, energetic, and galloping melody is so idiomatic, the listener is immediately transported to the open spaces and dusty trails of the wild west. The Magnificent Seven provides a reflection of the type of film score for full orchestra that marked the "Golden Years" of Hollywood. The theme song appeared not only in the movie, but in several additional television shows and advertisements. It is recognizable music, pure Americana, even to those unfamiliar with the film.

This arrangement of the main theme to The Magnificent Seven is suitable for a pops concert or classical performance. It comes with a full score and set of parts. Performance time is about 4:00.
