Leith Stevens US Reissue Score LP Destination moon NM ’80 STV81130 Cult Sci-Fi US Reissue Score LP released in 1980 on Varese Sarabande Records. Cat: STV81130.
Leith Stevens' contributions to film music include the soundtracks to The Wild One, The James Dean Story, When Worlds Collide, War of the Worlds, and World Without End, among other feature films, but Destination Moon remains his most enduring movie score. Written for the 1950 George Pal-produced sci-fi adventure film, it was one of the more daring bodies of movie music of its period. The title theme was rousing and memorable in evoking the wonder and adventure inherent in its subject. Even better was the incidental music, an extended body of work depicting travel in deep space. "In Outer Space," running 20 minutes, is highlighted by a shimmering violin-based section, an otherworldly sense of musical dislocation during the woodwinds' part, adjoining passages for harp, a hauntingly beautiful part for harps and flutes accompanying the travelers' sense of awe at their voyage, and an action theme that is one of the more memorable ever written to accompany a realistic space flight.
