Free Music Notes for Rudy: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: One of Goldsmith's best!
Hit: 5 Stars
This beautiful movie about a guy who wants to play football at Notre Dame has a score that is very wel suited to it's story. It is one of Godsmith's best works that seems to capture the drama of the movie so well that listening to the music can bring tears to your eyes. The softer tracks reflect the integrity of Rudy's character. In the action oriented tracks the orchestra swells into full power and lets you feel what it is to strive for a dream and make it come true. The story is a simple one and Goldsmith knows as no other composer how to make this theme come alive in our own hearts when we listen to this music.Free Music Review: The crown is missing its jewel
Hit: 3 Stars
The glaring fault of this `soundtrack' album is it is missing what in my view is the key music from the soundtrack: The Notre Dame Fight Song. That song, arguably the most stirring college fight song ever written, is an integral part of the story, at least it was for me, and to find it missing from this compilation (perhaps because UND would not allow it) was a huge disappointment.Free Music Review: Nice, but not great!
Hit: 3 Stars
Some of the music, especially the main theme and the ending score are great, but much of the ones in the middle sound very similar and repetitious. I'm not sure if this is the same for others, but my Rudy CD doesn't seem to sound as good as the other CD's that I have. What I mean is that I hear static or "white" noise in the background that I normally attribute to cassette tapes. I'm pretty sure it isn't my stereo system since, again, other CD's I have do not make this sound. However, this noise is relatively minor and should not make too much of a difference...unless of course you copy the music onto a cassette tape or other media (e.g. MP3)...then it becomes a bit more noticeable. Anyway, the music is still pretty good.Free Music Review: Great-->an inspiritation

=I love this music..I find it calming....Free Music Review: Jerry Goldsmith's best composition?
Hit: 5 Stars
Rudy. Written by Jerry Goldsmith in 1993, this score is probably one of his best scores yet. Using a mix of brass, piano, and percussion, this is a gorgeous soundtrack with a peaceful tune, yet very complex. Using the flute has the primary intrument, and the piano as the secondary intrument, this soundtrack is for all who enjoy peaceful, beautiful, and enlightening music. Although much of the music is slow and quiet, tracks such as "Take us out" are very inspirational, and yet again, not tense. Every single track on this CD is worth listening to, so do not hesitate to buy it! This soundtrack is often compared to Jerry Goldsmith's "Hoosiers", and is much the same style. If you have never heard this music before, then your best chance is at the beginning of an NFL football game. Since the movie Rudy is based on football, it has become popular with NFL advertising. This music has a much different style from "The Ghost in the Darkness", but then again, probably a better score. Even the movie itself is almost as good as the score!
