This week on Film Score Friday we listen to the score from King Kong. John Barry wrote the score for this 1976 remake. If you close your eyes during this score you might think James Bond will appear soon. There's definitely more than a little resemblance to the Bond scores Barry wrote. Despite this, Barry made a credible entry in the Kong franchise here. The low Brass section gets the most action here. As you might guess, they often serve as a musical queue for the presence of the giant gorilla. Who would have thought? Enjoy!
