Film Score Friday: The Big Country

This week on Film Score Friday, we listen to the score from The Big Country. Jerome Moross wrote the score for this 1958 western. Those that love the western genre will feel right at home here. Moross does some things that were new at the time while still capturing the sound that Copland was known for. This score is not as well known as some other westerns, but it''s worth your time. 

Where does this score rank in the pantheon of great western scores? Let us know in the comments.
