I have just seen this film from the 1950s. Apparently the score has never been released. It's very traditional in style but a superb score.
I would like someone to release complete scores from this and other similar westerns e.g. 'Chief Crazy Horse', 'The Great Sioux Uprising', 'Sitting Bull' etc.. or, if not complete scores, perhaps an album of suites from these films.
They would probably have to be re-recorded as the original soundtracks might be somewhat 'worn'.
In the meantime I am still waiting for 'The Ten Commandments' which I believe is 'coming soon' from Intrada and, as mentioned in other threads, a new recording of Nascimbene's 'The Vikings' would be very welcome.

Salter did a lot of great scores. I'd love to see a release of Paul Sawtell's score for Denver and Rio Grande(1952), some nice music in that one, it's a very good Byron Haskin picture too. So many old westerns with excellent music.

I never saw Tomahawk, but would welcome any Hans Salter cds.
Western films and their scores are real favorites with me, especially from the 40s and 50s.
We need more western scores on cd. Niall ....... see what you can do! 
The older I get the more I realise that I can do shag all about anything...but Peter, I can tell you this, David Schecter has some great cowboys and injuns music coming out real soon on MMM!

If you can find it, you'll probably enjoy the music on an LP of Salter western score highlights (including BEND OF THE RIVER) released by the late Tony Thomas. He also put out a great LP of Hans's music for the Joel McCrea TV series, WICHITA TOWN. Only half of that LP, alas, was released on CD.
That's great news about MMM working on a western CD. I presume it'll consist of archival tracks, but if MMM (or anyone else) is ever in a position to record new performances of wild west music, a very likely candidate would be BEND OF THE RIVER: Hans's complete conductor manuscript exists.
In the meantime, we can all rejoice in listening to Kritzerland's release of THE FAR HORIZONS. (Thanks again, Bruce!)

It is indeed great news Preston, and from what I've heard it will be more than one CD of western scores coming from David Schecter and the fabulous MMM label! Time for rejoicing soon...eh PFK!
