Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (score)

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a 1989 film directed by Steven Spielberg and scored by John Williams. It is the third movie in the Indiana Jones film franchise.
==Score overview==
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade tells the story of Indiana Jones' search for his recently missing father.  Upon finding his father, Henry, Indiana learns that the Nazis are after both them and the Holy Grail, which they need to achieve eternal life. Indiana Jones and his father, who has dedicated his life to the study of the grail, cross the globe in an effort to find the grail before the Nazis do. Throughout the adventure, the estranged father and son team also slowly heal their relationship and come closer together.
The score features at least eight leitmotifs, with some music carrying over from or referencing the previous films in the franchise. Parts of the Last Crusade score would also go on to be referenced in its 2008 sequel, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Spielberg said that when Williams approached him about the score, he said he was going to write music befitting "a less action-oriented picture about a father and a son.""John Williams Scoring Session Indiana Jones." YouTube. YouTube, 04 Nov. 2011. Web. 20 Feb. 2014. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THMZl5OfCHQ>. As a result, the score mixes both "very intimate, subtle themes" with brassy, fast-paced action cues when Williams knew to "cook the orchestra."
On the 2008 soundtrack collection produced by Concord Records, the Last Crusade score consists of one hour and sixteen minutes, not including an extra 14 minutes of previously unreleased music from the score.Williams, John. Indiana Jones: The Soundtracks Collection. Concord Records, 2008. CD.
