Descripción
The theme from the film "The Big Country" is surely the epitome of "Western" music: you can see the cowboys, the cattle, the arid landscape, the waggons spread out before you! Jerome Moross wrote a large amount of music but nothing that quite matched up to the brilliance of this piece. Arranged here for full orchestra by Richard Ling. Score and Parts.
