Jerry Goldsmith (1929-2004)

Jerry Goldsmith died in his sleep at the age of 75 on July 21...... Sad year for music composers with both Michael Kamen and Jerry gone. They will be sorely missed

[UN Spacy]

As a fan of his many, many, various musical pieces I'm sad to see a genius like Mr. Goldsmith pass. I've always liked themes for the Star Trek movies.

[Skull Leader]

Farewell, Brother Jerry.... agonasesti aeis acra (strive for the highest). Your wonderful contributions to the brotherhood will never be forgotten.

[Gaijin]

This is distressing news...I loved his music.

[eugimon]

his theme for patton was just genius, truly a loss.

[Agent ONE]

The watch stands relieved.

Fair winds and following seas to your final rest.

I'm bummed now! I love his movie themes (my personal fave is Star Trek: First Contact) He will be sorely missed.
