Maurice Jarre - Lawrence Of Arabia (Original S

In 1961, Jarre's music career experienced a major change when British film producer Sam Spiegel asked him to write the score for the 1962 epic Lawrence of Arabia, directed by David Lean. The acclaimed score won Jarre his first Academy Award and he would go on to compose the scores to all of Lean's subsequent films. Sam Sutherland Writes: �David Lean's extraordinary widescreen dramatisation of T E Lawrence's odyssey into Arabian culture is among the most ambitious and exalted of screen epics, rich in visual splendour, historic detail, psychological nuance, and exemplary performances. Count French composer Maurice Jarre among the stars, for his single line main theme has become among the most instantly recognisable in screen music, evoking the vast sweep of the desert horizons with a perfect synthesis of the exotic and the romantic. As a musical reflection of Lawrence's own romantic fascination with Arabian culture, Jarre's overture and various film cues make this an enduring classic�
