Jerry Goldsmith

Jerrald "Jerry" Goldsmith ( Los Angeles ( California ), February 10 1929 - Beverly Hills ( California ), July 21 2004 ) was an American composer of film music .

Goldsmith is best known as the composer of the music for the television series Star Trek . He also wrote the music for the eponymous film.

Also on hand is the music of LA Confidential , The Mummy , Hollow Man , Total Recall , Basic Instinct , Papillon , Planet of the Apes and Rambo .

In 1976 he received an Oscar for the music of The Omen .

Goldsmith began at the age of 6 with piano lessons. At age fourteen he studied composition, music theory and counterpoint at the University of Southern California . He had discovered the famous film composer Miklós Rózsa, who inspired him to write film music and had great influence on his work.

In the fifties Goldsmith debuted as resident composer at the radio station CBS, which he composed dozens of themes.

In early sixties he met the influential composer Alfred Newman, who recognized his talent and helped him to his first major composition assignments.

His career took a big flight when he was composing music for major film company 20th Century Fox . Goldsmith established his reputation as one of the greatest composers in the American film industry.

Goldsmiths friendship with the Dutch director Paul Verhoeven, with whom he first collaborated on the movie Total Recall , led to one of the highlights of his oeuvre, the music of Basic Instinct .

Goldsmith also earned his spurs as a conductor . He conducted his own work regularly with the London Symphony Orchestra .

His son Joel is also a known composer.
