FADE OUT: JOHN BARRY (1933-2011)

The legendary film composer, John Barry, has passed away at the age of 77. He leaves behind a remarkable legacy...

 143 films

 5 Academy Awards

 11 Bond scores




 

In fact, all the best James Bond scores - the classic, iconic themes. Thunderball. You Only Live Twice. On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Diamonds Are Forever. Goldfinger.

Barry was a master at matching the majestic sweeping vision of the cinematography to our ears and evoking an emotional response. His slow build to crescendo during the flying sequence in Out of Africa is a beautiful example.

The maestro conducts his own work.

Farewell Mr. Barry, you will be missed.
