The "On Golden Pond" soundtrack - Dave Grusin


Sundown

Hey all,

 

...not sure if you ever saw the movie "On Golden Pond" with Henry Fonda, Jane Fonda, and Katherine Hepburn, but it has (IMO) one of the best piano scores you'll find. Dave Grusin did the score, and in addition to being great music, he really had a knack for using the piano to create musical sound effects. He did these "splashes" on the high keys that really evoke the image of rain falling on a lake.

 

Sadly, I don't think you'll find the soundtrack anywhere (or if you do it will be used vinyl). Maybe one day it will be re-released on CD or MP3 in its entirety.

 

It's a good movie regardless (albeit a bit dated), but the soundtrack is amazing.

Get "Now Playing Movie Themes" Grusin's solo piano recordings of his movie themes. Besides Golden Pond, there's The Firm, Tootsie, Milagro Beanfield Wars and others. Just great playing from a master musician.

One of my favorite soundtracks of the 80s! I also really like his work on My Bodyguard, and The Firm.
