My Take
Elmer Bernstein is, to me, one of the unsung architects of how we feel at the movies. Over five decades he wrote more than 150 film scores, and the swaggering theme to The Magnificent Seven alone has lodged itself in the collective memory. Golden Globes, an Academy Award, a star on the Walk of Fame, the honors only hint at the influence. What strikes me most is that his music often arrives in our minds before the images do, which is the surest sign of a master. He passed in 2004, yet his themes keep playing around the world. I salute the real thing.
