Magnificent
Alex North “roadshow” soundtrack gets full 2-CD restoration! Epic, elegiac
John Ford western chronicles heroic 1500-mile trek of hungry Cheyenne from
Oklahoma reservation to ancestral homeland in the Dakotas during 1878-79.
Massive film production stars Richard Widmark, James Stewart, Edward G.
Robinson, Carroll Baker, Ricardo Montalbano, Sal Mineo, Karl Malden, many
others. North approaches tragic tale with masterful large-scale score devoid
of western cliche and filled instead with rich, brooding central theme for
Cheyenne, haunting melody for sympathetic Quaker Deborah (Baker), aggressive
martial music for cavalry, intense battle sequences and more. Unlike typical
John Ford western film scores filled with popular tunes of the era, North
wrote ambitious original score on very large canvas with powerful, sometimes
austere harmonic vernacular placing it in very small family with just two
other epic works: Spartacus, Cleopatra.
Composition-wise, these three form an unofficial trilogy of sorts. Cheyenne
Autumn’s huge woodwind section (piccolo, C flute, alto and bass flutes, Bb
clarinets, bass and contra-bass clarinets, oboe, English horn, bassoon and
contra-bassoon) place it on par with Cleopatra. Expanded brass section (5
trumpets, 6 horns, 5 trombones, bass trombone plus tuba) is on par with
Spartacus.
Interestingly, like lengthy portions of Spartacus, North tacets violins (and
violas) and scores for large section of cellos, basses. Resulting string
sound is deep, dark, intense. Film was originally presented in 70mm
“roadshow” format with dramatic Overture, fanfare Intermission card,
Ent’acte, possible Exit music plus lengthy Dodge City sequence featuring
Wyatt Earp (James Stewart), Doc Holliday (Arthur Kennedy) designed to close
Act I.

All of the above were cut after premiere showings. These exciting cues have
all been restored for this important 2-CD release. Entire score is presented
in dynamic stereo from 6 channel stereo session masters vaulted by Warner
Bros. in perfect condition.
Over 110 minutes of music play across 2 CDs. CD 1 is sequenced to feature
dramatic first half of score and wrap with North’s rousing Dodge City
“Camptown Races” musical respite and brief “Intermission” fanfare, retaining
composer’s musical architecture. CD 2 opens with dramatic “Entr’acte” music,
continues with stirring score through powerful “Exit” fanfare for brass and
percussion.
Numerous cavalry source pieces plus additional Dodge City source music
(arranged by North with Ken Darby), all recorded under North’s supervision,
follow in the extras section. For completists, North’s numerous original
percussion sequences underscoring variety of Cheyenne council meetings also
appear in the extras. 24-page full color booklet with “flipper” cover
designed by Kay Marshall plus authoritative notes from Frank DeWald enhance
this exciting release. All master elements and artwork are courtesy Warner
Bros. One of the great big-scale sixties film scores is fully-restored at
long last! Henry Brandt, Gil Grau orchestrate, Alex North composes,
conducts. Intrada Special Collection 2-CD set available while quantities and
interest remain!
