Intrada's final release of 2023 features Jerry Goldsmith's score for the 1977 war epic MacArthur. Considered a companion score to his earlier Patton, when listened to side by side both scores highlight Goldsmith's genius in musically portraying the complexity of the each film's characters and less the onscreen action. General Patton loved the glory of battle and felt a deep connection to military history. His music reflects the pageantry and triumph, with echoing trumpets steeped in mysticism that reach back through history and past lives. General MacArthur was an entirely different officer. Respectful and appreciative of military honor, battle was not something he relished. MacArthur's march is all pomp and festivity but can take a dark turn and reflect the inner turmoil of the general. His march isn't quite as conventional as it first appears, with a distinctive effect for beaten piano that opens the march - a rhythmic sound for MacArthur's military drive. It is this sound that underlies the tragedy and ugliness of war. Supplementing the march is Goldsmith writing in his finest American military style. Both films are judiciously spotted, with MacArthur running just 46 minutes of score.

At the time of the film's release, MCA Records released an album of re-recorded highlights from the score. The original film recording had never been released...until now. This program is produced using the 1/2″ session masters vaulted at Universal Studios and is featured on disc 1. The second disc features the remastered MCA program that has been out of print for years.
