Music Composed and Conducted by Elmer Bernstein

Much as we would love to be offering a deluxe and expanded edition of this wonderful score, it’s just not in the cards for this one. The only known set of masters, beyond the original LP master used here, was irreparably damaged over a decade ago.

This Masters Film Music release of Elmer Bernstein’s vast and panoramic The Hallelujah Trail is not to be missed.

In "The Hallelujah Trail," Lee Remick plays temperance leader Cora Templeton Massingale, who is determined to halt a shipment of whiskey headed for Denver. The shipment is being escorted by the US cavalry, under the guidance of Col. Thadeus Gearhardt (Burt Lancaster). As the Denver miners thirstily await the precious booze, Gearhardt must fend off not only Cora and her minions, but a bibulous tribe of Sioux warriors, headed by Chief Walks-Stooped-Over (Martin Landau)- not to mention an outsized sandstorm. 1965
