July 13 - Ernest Gold (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Ernst Gold (13 July 1921 – 17 March 1999) was an Austrian-born American composer of many film scores, by far the best known of which is Exodus.

[For last year's tribute to Carlo Bergonzi click here.]

If at First...

Exodus (Theme from), Ernest Gold:

Brash and brassy, big and bold,

Was enough to get his name

On the starry Walk of Fame.

 

Envoi

Though your decades in the galleys

May have peaks and may have valleys,

Know there is no cut and dried walk

To that envied starry sidewalk.
