True Grit

Album by Elmer Bernstein & The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra & James Fitzpatrick

True Grit is a 1969 soundtrack album by American film composer Elmer Bernstein for the western film of the same name. The score employs orchestral western techniques and Americana-inflected motifs—combining sweeping orchestral passages with rustic, country-tinged elements—and exemplifies Bernstein's work in mid-20th century American film scoring and his contributions to the western film music tradition.
First released: June 2006
