I had forgotten how good this score was until I listened to the samples. Wonderful. Simply wonderful. Ordered immediately.

INTRADA
Announces:
HOOSIERS
Composed and Conducted by JERRY GOLDSMITH
INTRADA Special Collection Vol. 226
For the 1986 Hemdale film Hoosiers, Jerry Goldsmith wrote one of his most endearing masterpieces — warm in its Americana, stirring in its basketball athletics and as rich in emotion as the movie it accompanies. His trumpet solos for the nostalgic Hoosiers theme rank with his finest melodic work and scoring a basketball in motion over a 7/8 rhythm is simply inspired. The expertly choreographed basketball sequences are among the highlights of Hoosiers, and Goldsmith’s surprising mix of orchestra and electronics is most prominent here, supplementing a rousing game motif with a sampled sound of an actual bouncing basketball, giving the cues a modern and effortlessly catchy rhythm. The result was an Oscar-nomination for Best Original Score.
Using the original digital mixes, Intrada worked with the entire score to make this definitive presentation. The original 1986 Polydor album featured 38 minutes, including a couple of beautiful cue assemblies (created by the composer himself that differed from the finished film edits). This album retains those unique assemblies where possible, while otherwise presenting the music in chronological order in this nearly hour long album.
Hoosiers relays a classic story — a team of underdogs emerges from obscurity and defeats the odds to become champions. In this case, it's a basketball team from an Indiana high school with an enrollment of only 161 students, who won their 1954 state championship. Teacher Norman Dale (Gene Hackman) is hired to run high school basketball in the town of Hickory after the death of its beloved coach. The Hickory Huskers’ star player, Jimmy Chitwood, has expressed his grief by quitting the team, and the townspeople are reluctant to let Dale use his own offbeat approach to coach the Huskers. Yet he perseveres to bring the team to victory.

I remember this film's initial impact on me. I saw 'Hoosiers' at a small theatre in San Francisco when it first came out and I was immediately drawn into the dramatics of the film (and the score). The audience I saw it with was cheering and shouting and went (near berserk) at the climatic basketball game, I along with them. Right after the film I went to Tower Records down near Columbus Ave. and got the soundtrack album. That album stayed with me on into Scotland and then back to The US.
I am frankly stunned to hear the complete score is now available! Greatly appreciated by myself and countless others. (Every time I watch the film I am as excited about it's well known outcome as if it were the FIRST time I was viewing it. It's as though I expect a different outcome and it's not logical - but, there it is.)

This film was a bit of a disappointment for me.
Being a big college basketball fan and knowing about Indiana High School mania
(Rick Mount anyone?) i really looked forward to this.
Maybe, it was the melodrama (the Dennis Hopper character in particular) but it just didn't ring true to this b'ball fanatic.
