A walk through some Alan Silvestri scores

A walk through some Alan Silvestri scores

Judge Dredd Score

Wow, the score is even better than I remember.

For a while Alan Silvestri stopped writing scores like this and wrote smaller scores. He would write grand themes with huge orchestras. Remember, he wrote the music to Predator 1 & 2, and Back to the Future 1-3. There is a certain sound that comes with Alan Silvestri (Early Silvestri) that you can spot his work just by listening to it.

Here is the direction Alan has taken recently.

Tomb Raider II

The Mexican

I love his score here because it is a complete departure to his other works. And, it really is a throwback to the old Western movies. He is clearly channeling and paying tribute to Ennio Morricone’s wonderful scores from the 60’s and 70s. He even has the Native American drums and chanting! Listen for it at the 8:55 mark.
