SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:36 Min.
For the 1993 Gettysburg film, composer-conductor Randy Edelman’s epic opening credits anthem accompanies black-and-white photos of the real-life battle participants fading into portraits of those actors portraying them. Suffice to say, its combined audio-visual effect is stunningly poignant.
REVIEW:
While much of Edelman’s Gettysburg score is relatively subdued, this instrumental delivers a sense of dramatic immortality. Decisively representing the film’s historical accuracy, Gettysburg’s “Main Title” is a gripping theme worthy of its place among the best-ever for Hollywood’s war films. Highly recommended!
