I know it's a few days late but here it is:
Today's Film Score Friday is Jerry Goldsmith's legendary (and Oscar-winning) music for The Omen trilogy. Hahahahaha!
The Omen (1976 - Academy Award Winner, best original score, Nominee: best original song...only in Hollywood does Ave satani get nominated for best original song!).
Damien: Omen II (1978)
The Final Conflict (1981) - the climax of the series is some of the most amazing music I've ever heard written for the cinema. Of course it had to be. You don't actually see much of anything.
This is the best choral/orchestral film score ever. Plain and simple. Don't get me wrong. Howard Shore's LOTR is awesome. I would never dispute this. But he didn't establish the sound of an entire genre. Or did he?

Actually, it's the eternal sea that's rising these days...
