Basil Poledouris

In over 20 years of scoring motion pictures, Basil Poledouris has proven himself a master of melody and emotional power, producing a wealth of music that ranges from rousing adventure to intimate drama, and forging rewarding creative relationships with directors like Paul Verhoeven, John Milius, Randal Kleiser, Simon Wincer and John Waters.

While he has worked on some of the screen’s toughest action pictures including Conan, Flesh + Blood, Robocop and The Hunt For Red October, Poledouris’ strength has always been his ability to find the emotional center of a film.

Poledouris won early accolades for his lush orchestral scores to Milius’ Big Wednesday and Kleiser’s The Blue Lagoon. His 1982 score for Milius’ Conan The Barbarian assured his place in the pantheon of great modern film music with its hammering “Anvil of Crom” theme featuring French horns, and its blend of blood-and-thunder choral cues with an unexpectedly beautiful, lyrical sensibility. His Emmy award-winning score for the Larry McMurtry masterpiece Lonesome Dove is a classic of the genre, with an unforgettable, gently rolling title theme that is as memorable as any western film theme ever written.
Within a year of scoring Lonesome Dove, Poledouris collaborated with director John McTiernan on The Hunt For Red October, bringing an epic feeling to what might have been a simple Cold War thriller by underscoring sequences of the Red October launch with a sweeping, traditional-sounding Russian choral anthem. In 1996 Poledouris became one of a select few contemporary film composers to be commissioned to write music for the Olympic Games, and he created a thrilling accompaniment to the ’96 Olympic Opening Ceremonies dance sequence entitled “The Tradition of the Games.”
