Dimitri Tiomkin

THE BIG SKY (1952)

 

Reference: BUD 4004

 

25 Tracks. The fourth collaboration between director Howard Hawks and Dimitri Tiomkin, who was the ideal western score composer according to Hawks. Tiomkin composed a more subtle score that underlines the emotions of the characters, making it easier to the public to understand their actions, advancing some of the ideas that he would later develop in one of his best scores, the unforgettable music for Rio Bravo.
