Planet of the Apes (Jerry Goldsmith score, 1968)

Jerry Goldsmith's original score for the 1968 20th Century Fox film Planet of the Apes, directed by Franklin J. Schaffner. Largely atonal, it uses unconventional percussion and playing techniques, including stainless-steel mixing bowls, a cuíca, a shofar blast and French horns played with reversed mouthpieces, with an Echoplex as its only electronic device. The score was nominated for an Academy Award and has been released on several soundtrack albums.
