Love this film score. It truly feels "western" and "adventure movie" all in one.

[JosephNoussair]

This is one of my favorite film scores. It honors the best traditions of musical film scores and really captures the spirit of the picture.

Wow! Basil Poledouris slapped on a 10 gallon hat, a pair of spurs and took us to the Land Down Under by way of the Wild West?! It's great hear that he was more than just russian submarines, troopers in space, and barbarians. An all around great score that sounds epic, and fun to listen to. Thanks for the upload.

Starring Tom Selleck and Alan Rickman “Quigley Down Under” is an enjoyable western but not that typical, as set in Australia. Although having a few silly moments the plot was partly more serious than one would expect from it. Basil Poledouris provided a wonderful score with a really fun main theme for Matthew Quigley, referring to the composition style of Elmer Bernstein. Enjoy!

very underrated film. and a great score.

[hancock]

I always thought that Basil Poledouris was an underrated composer. He left his mark on so many great films.

This reminds me of a road trip with my father. We saw Ten Commandments and Quigley down under, his favorite films. Long story short, reminds me of my dad, and what I think he saw as a true inspiration for being a man. To this day, I tear up thinking about my dad who got deported, showed me a love for film, but also miss him very much. We don’t talk much but the fact I can remember him spiritually through this soundtrack truly shows how powerful art/film/music can truly send us back in time to great memories.

Im going to get Red Dead Redemption 2, and name my player Matthew Quigley

[rericus]

This score and Lonesome Dove soundtrack are my two favorite listens when I'm wanting that "western" feel. Poledouris is awesome!

[Mdebacle]

Hear that brass, that banjo, that snare drum. Man y'all hearin' ragtime. Which would have started about Quigley's time.

[Chesterbarnes]

What a wonderful piece of majestic music. It shares a similar sound as theme song with Yul Burner in The Magnificent Seven

[marktaylor]

Great film .great score .you've done it again Fred thank you very much .

[AdrianWCarr]

Hey Fred, Quigley Down Under has to be one your best assembled suites I have heard. I say this because I was the Editor and 2nd Unit director on QDU and worked closely with Basil Poledouris, who created a western classic score. I temp scored the movie with pieces from 2 of his previous soundtracks - Lonesome Dove - Farewell to the King - and one track from Elmer Bernstein's Amazing Grace & Chuck [inspiration for the moment Quigley learns from the Aborigines]. Basil was impressed with how well they played in a different movie because they conveyed the spirit I wanted and man, he took these cues and reinvented them, taking them far beyond by injecting new life into one.

[Brievel]

Thank you for this upload. I only recently saw this movie but it vaulted at once to the spot of my Favorite. And the soundtrack played no small part in that.

[victorgay]

Thanks Mr Basil you create one of the greatest music for westerns movies
Your music is excellent
And I personally think you are equally as good as Ennio Morricone
Both of you enjoy your stay in heaven
RIP

I was looking for an actual Symphony playing this theme . Great Movie, great score .

[notaire]

Obwohl die goldene Epoche der Western Filme weit entfernt vergangen ist, klingt diese fein komponierte Filmmusik noch völlig schön und auch bezaubernd.

[stephanietorres]

I like the sound track to Quigley down under. The lullaby is extra special. Now I would like to find the violin sheet music to it.

[robertcohn]

Catchy tunes. Now I really have to see the movie! Thanks!
