By Trevor Jones. Arranged by Ray Juden. Individual Part. 5 pages. Published by Chris Siddall Music Publishing (H0.511011-SC000392371).Jim Henson's epic masterpiece The Dark Crystal was hailed as the first live action film with no human characters. Trevor Jones' innovative and iconic score featured over three hundred electronic sounds specially created for the film and blended them with the traditional symphonic tone (provided by the brilliant London Symphony Orchestra).
Jones has written: "From the very first in scoring the music for The Dark Crystal, I set out to find two melodic ideas - one for the Mystics, the other for the Skeksis. These two motifs, when counterpointed, fuse to become one, and at the great conjunction at the film's climax they join to become the central theme.
In the overture this central theme is contrasted with the Landstrider motif, the nearest musical idea that not only provides good musical balance but, more important, reflects the fantasy world of the film".
