等了很多天
似乎國內都沒有人發現這位大師已經在上週逝世
所以新開一個欄 以玆紀念


與癌症搏鬥多年的電影配樂大師Jerry Goldsmith（傑瑞高史密斯）於七月21日（美國時間）辭世，享年75歲。

對於電影配樂迷而言，這是一個很大的震撼；Goldsmith是大師中的大師，作品質與量兼具，多產到令人嘆為觀止，可以說是當代好萊塢最具典範性與影響力的配樂家，一直以為Goldsmith還會繼續為大家帶來許多音樂的驚喜，他的辭世讓人覺得世上又少了很多美好的事物。

7/22/04 - Legendary composer Jerry Goldsmith has died at the age of 75 after a long battle with cancer. He passed away peacefully in his sleep Wednesday night (July 21st) at his Beverly Hills home, according to his personal assistant, Lois Carruth. With a career spanning six decades and including roughly 200 major projects, Goldsmith was one of the most prolific composers in Hollywood's modern age. He was also active in composing orchestral pieces for special occasions and taught occasional music classes at local universities. Nominated for 17 Academy Awards, most recently for Mulan in 1998, smith's only in came in 1976 for The Omen. Among his best known film scores are The Planet of the Apes, Patton, Alien, Poltergeist, Hoosiers, Total Recall, Basic Instinct, and five of the feature Star Trek films. His battle with illness slowed his artistic production in the 2000's, with his final finished score being Looney Tunes: Back in Action. The last entry in his career was 2003's Timeline, a score that was sadly rejected from the film. He was reportedly signed to score two projects in 2004, although his cancelled appearances at concerts and other public events was an indication that he may not have been healthy enough to continue writing. Earlier this year, the Var�se Sarabande label released a comprehensive set, Jerry Goldsmith at 20th Century Fox, celebrating his career, and they have plans to release his rejected Timeline score as well. Filmtracks and all fans of film music extend the best of wishes to all of those who were close to Goldsmith, and you can discuss his life and career at Filmtracks Scoreboard. A true Hollywood legend has been lost.
