 Ben Hur
Original Review: Miklós Rózsa's score for Ben Hur is widely regarded as one of the best that came out of Hollywood's Golden Era during the thirties, forties and fifties.
'The Galley' is a wonderfully rhythmic piece played on what I think is a double bass, underscoring a menacing brass theme that gets progressively quicker, which is played when Judah Ben Hur is a prisoner on the warship of Quintas Arrius.
The second and third tracks, 'Of Bethlehem' and 'Adoration of the Magic' are also good cues: they both make great use of a female choir to accentuate the power and majesty accompanying the birth of Christ.
