Jurassic Park - THE Dinosaur Film Score

Honestly, who does not know or recognize the powerful, in-your-face trumpet theme from Jurassic Park as you fly towards Isla Nublar for the first time? Like John Williams' theme for Indiana Jones, the brass section of the orchestra is utilized heavily for the main themes and action themes of Jurassic Park and he made a smart choice. Dinosaurs are big, dinosaurs are unique, and dinosaurs still are very mysterious and interesting to many people. The film released in 1993 gave moviegoers the chance to at least believe that dinosaurs might one day be able to walk the earth once again.

Williams created two main themes for Jurassic Park - the bold brass theme heard in "Journey to the Island" and the first half of the "Welcome to Jurassic Park" track, but also a lesser softer theme represented by the string section of the orchestra heard in the latter part of the "Welcome to Jurassic Park" track. These themes showed viewers dinosaurs in two lights - in awe of the spectacle, and dinosaurs in a natural state. These are easily the most recognized and most familiar pieces of the soundtrack.

Williams also includes much of his famous 'action music' full of horn blasts and rapid string playing in "Incident as Isla Nublar" and "T-Rex Rescue and Finale". The quieter side of the film can be found in the softer chimes of "A Tree for My Bed" and the reminiscing of a dream lost in "Remembering Petticoat Lane" when Hammond realizes a dinosaur theme park just was not going to work.

Jurassic Park is easily one of my recommended scores for any new film buff or soundtrack collector. Its a good way to get introduced into the world of John Williams.
