The Agony and the Ecstasy

Album by Alex North & Jerry Goldsmith & Royal Scottish National Orchestra

The Agony and the Ecstasy is a soundtrack album by American composer Alex North, released in 1965. The score features lush, symphonic orchestration with sweeping strings, brass fanfares and leitmotif-driven themes rooted in mid-20th-century film-music traditions, and it sits within North's body of work as an example of his approach to dramatic, programme-driven cinematic scoring during the 1960s.
