Composed by Jerry Goldsmith. Arranged by Dustin Naegel. This edition: pdf, streaming. 19th Century, Classical, Film/TV, Medieval. Score. 3 pages. Dustin Naegel #1430637. Published by Dustin Naegel (A0.1871321).Jerry Goldsmith's score to the 1987 medieval adventure film LIONHEART is widely considered his magnum opus in terms of leitmotif-structered composition and grand symphonic orchestration. The final cue of that score is one of my absolute favorite pieces of music for over 20 years now and since there weren't any piano arrangements to be found, I transcribed it myself.
“King Richard” itself consists of only three melodic sections. First, a brief introduction that presents the march-like “Journey” motif in the left hand, which will accompany almost the entire piece as an ostinato. Here the three-note main motif makes its first appearance, which is associated with the main character of the film (Robert): an ascending fifth, followed by a descending major second. This motif is the melodic base of the subsequent sixteen-bar “Robert's Theme”. After a brief harmonic shift to A-flat major for the B section, Goldsmith then modulates back to E-flat major to reiterate the theme. These skillful modulations (and there are quite a lot!) keep the piece fresh and interesting, while the melodic material remains straightforward and concise.
