Jerry Goldsmith is the composer behind some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters. His epic themes can be heard in everything from “The Mummy”, and “Star Trek: The Motion Picture”, to “Rudy”, and “The Planet of the Apes” and while Jerry Goldsmith may no longer be with us, his unique musical style and structure continues to make an impact in films, and has inspired a whole new generation of composers.
The Austin Wind Symphony announces it’s “Jerry Goldsmith: Sound-Alike Contest” where composers from all around the world can submit a :60 second piece that sounds as if it could have been written by the late Jerry Goldsmith. You pick the genre, you pick the orchestration, we’ll pick the winner!
