Life
Known in the artistic world as Jerry Goldsmith, he was born into a family of music lovers who supported his musical vocation from the very beginning. For this, they had the best teachers that a student of the time could imagine. He learned piano assisted by teacher Jakob Gimpel and composition with Mario Castelnuovo Tedesco, who also taught another well-known film score composer, John Williams.
Goldsmith was a great fan of cinema, one of his dreams was precisely to become an author of film music. His family welcomed this professional possibility and enrolled the young man at the University of Southern California. There he had occasion to attend the master classes of Miklos Rozsa, from whom he learned the fundamentals of soundtrack composition. A tireless worker, Goldsmith soon showed up at the studios to present his work and offer his services.
It was in 1955 that CBS executives decided to give it a try. Goldsmith put all his effort into developing the incidental music for the television series Climax and Gunsmoke, both of which were highly successful on North American television. Since then, the pace of work was frenetic for him. He composed for such series as Perry Mason (1957), On the Edges of Reality (1960), Doctor Kildare (1961), and Whip (1961). The renown he achieved in the television world endorsed his move to Hollywood.
One of his most elaborate works during the 1960s was Torment and Ecstasy, in which the composer’s taste for orchestral romanticism is noticeable, also perceptible in the score of El Yangtze en llamas. However, it was Planet of the Apes the film that gave him prestige. His music for this sci-fi feature film is impressively original, with hitherto almost unthinkable use of percussion and the wind section.
Goldsmith was an extraordinarily prolific author, which forced him to combine less brilliant compromise works with others in which he unleashed all his genius as a composer. Among his soundtracks with an intimate and mysterious atmosphere, Chinatown (1974) stands out, one of his best-known works. He was nominated for an Oscar 17 times, only once with The Prophecy (1976), an overwhelming score, in which the use of choirs stands out to evoke the diabolical condition of the child protagonist, who according to film fiction is the Antichrist.
In 1978 he successfully solved two complex assignments. On the one hand, he composed elegant and catchy music for The Children of Brazil (1978), a film whose plot revolves around a project that aims to obtain clones of Hitler. On the other hand, he wrote a mysterious score, full of terrifying effects, for the film Alien, the eighth passenger (1978), with which he managed to renew the panorama of this type of soundtrack.
Goldsmith was a particularly gifted musician who can successfully take on all manner of arguments. He composes dreamy music like Legend (1985) as well as powerful marches like Rambo (1985). Already in the 90s Basic Instinct (1992) stands out as one of his most celebrated works.
During the last years of his life, he combined composition with teaching. He taught film composition courses to young musicians at the University of Southern California (UCLA). Among his outstanding disciples is the composer Marco Beltrami, of recognized fame on the Hollywood scene from 1990.
He also composed works outside the cinematographic world, such as Music for orchestra, characterized by its atonal style; the oratorio Christus Apollo, with a text by the writer Ray Bradbury; the ballet A patch of blue, based on his own score for the film of the same name (A patch of blue) from 1965; and Fireworks, commissioned by the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra in 2002 to celebrate his anniversary and accompany a fireworks display.
Jerry Goldsmith married twice and had four children, one of them, Joel Goldsmith, has also dedicated himself to film composition.
