	Randy Newman scores
		Newman's songs showcase a relentless cynicism, a sense that the world is a bitter place designed for bitter people.
		While the 56-year-old Newman had already had success as a songwriter before he scored his first film, "Cold Turkey," in 1971, it was inevitable that he would wind up in film composition.
		His uncle, Alfred Newman, is widely regarded as the best composer in film history, earning a staggering 34 Oscar nominations (he won nine), and composing one of pop culture's most recognizable pieces of music, the 20th Century Fox fanfare.

	The Egyptian - Bernard Herrmann & Alfred Newman
		Newman's style is very much the smooth, romantic style of earlier Hollywood scores, thus the two composers couldn't be further apart in writing style.
		Newman laid down the main material, but this was then adapted by Herrmann as he saw fit for his scenes, most notably during the Prelude.
		Newman rounds out the score in a fairly low key and sombre style, which even given another brief appearance of the choir is still somewhat subdued.

	Alfred Newman: The Hunchback of Notre Dame; Beau Geste; All About Eve;The Greatest Story Ever Told
		Newman's use of the female chorus, eerily suspended over a sustained chord in the orchestra, is an inspired accompaniment to the mysterious opening sequence, and recurs at the concluding unraveling of that mystery.
		I suspect that Newman's very hectic schedule did not allow him to fully integrate his ideas with the contributions of the many musical hands that worked on Hunchback, which at the time was the most mammoth project ever undertaken by RKO (the Paris set alone covered sixty acres).
		This is not to begrudge the artistry of Newman, or certainly the enterprise of the producers of this project.

	Alfred Newman: The Song of Bernadette
		Alfred Newman had been music director at Fox since the war began.
		Charles Gerhardt recorded a loving version of Bernadette's roadshow overture for his Newman RCA tribute, but, perhaps because that album was a relative failure among the Gerhardt/Wilkinson projects, the greatness of this work still remains unacknowledged by the general public, and by the film music critics.
		Newman begins with a brass chorale, which in the film (and four years before, in the Hunchback) stands for the majesty of the Catholic Church.

	Alfred Newman - composer for film and musicals
		He was the eldest of 10 children and his family were poor, but his interest in music was recognised at an early age and, on a shoe-string budget he received his first piano lessons, walking a round trip of 10 miles every day to practice on an instrument belonging to a friend of his mother's.
		There have been Newmans in Hollywood ever since, since two of Alfred's sons David Newman and Thomas Newman and his nephew Randy Newman are all established and accomplished film composers.

		As well known as Alfred Newman was for his landmark film scores, his fame inside Hollywood was due also to his accomplishments in adapting and conducting other composers' works, frequently in film versions of popular Broadway musicals.
		Another high point of the score is "Cheyennes!" in which Newman uses broadly spaced chords in the contrabasses to introduce a frightening Indian attack on the wagon train.
		Newman and Darby turn the song of celebration into a dirge, offering it as a shattering counterpoint to the scene's visuals.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Alfred E. Neuman
		And yet, Alfred E. Neuman has become so closely associated with Mad that by 1963, a letter mailed from Auckland, New Zealand, with no address other than his picture, managed to find its way to the magazine's editorial office in New York City.
		So prolific were pre-Mad uses of the face, that when the magazine was sued for copyright infringement (twice, once based on a 1914 copyright and the other on a 1936 one), its major defense was to show the court that the plaintiffs had copied it from even earlier sources.
		Alfred E. Neuman has appeared on every Mad cover for nearly half a century.

		Newman's music undeniably played a major part in the success of the film.
		Newman very sensitively conveys and heightens Bernadette's unshakeable belief in what she had seen, the scepticism of the local municipal and church officials, even members of her family, and the discovery of apparent healing powers of a nearby spring.

	How The West Was Won - Music from the Movies
		Newman was the most honoured of Hollywood film composers winning an unprecedented 9 Academy Awards though only one of these was for dramatic scoring - The Song Of Bernadette.
		Not really known as a composer for westerns he was responsible for the music in such classics as Yellow Sky (1948) and The Gunfighter (1950) but these contained only Main and End Titles and towards the end of his career he did fine scores for Nevada Smith (1965) and his penultimate film Firecreek (1967).
		Newman's stirring Main Title is one of the most celebrated western themes and is complete here at over three minutes instead of the truncated version on the old LP.

	The Greatest Story Ever Told (Alfred Newman) - scorereviews.com soundtrack review
		It is well-known that producer George Stevens rejected a great part of Newman's work in favour of imposing classical works such as the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah, and Verdi's Requiem, the first of which can also be found on the soundtrack release.
		Newman's score is in complete and utter juxtaposition to it, and by far surpasses the material seen on screen.
		Both monumental scores, even when not married to the picture, speak of faith, spirituality, of hope and of power and glory in such a different way, that it is positively fascinating to musically compare the two.
