Century Fox and Fox Music proudly present a re-issue of legendary composer Bernard Herrmann’s (VERTIGO, PSYCHO, TAXI DRIVER) original motion picture score to the classic 1951 sci-fi feature film 1985’s THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, starring Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal and Hugh Marlowe, and directed by Robert Wise. Composer Herrmann’s iconic score is a milestone that anticipated electronic music with its then unheard-of instrumentation for electric violin, electric bass, electric theremins, four pianos, four harps and what the composer called “a very strange section of about 30-odd brass.” It’s a landmark score for a landmark film – a motion picture still very much relevant in its warnings of nuclear proliferation. Produced by Nick Redman, and restored and mastered by Mike Matessino, this classic soundtrack title returns in print with new art-design by Jim Titus, which includes a 24 page booklet featuring a wonderfully informative collection of previously published liners by writers Jon Burlingame, Julie Kirgo, Mike Matessino and Steven C. Smith.
