How many Waltzes can you think of that Goldsmith wrote for the movies?
I can think of his Waltz from NIGHT CROSSING played in "The Picnic" cue and the in the End Titles and of course his sweeping Waltz /Main Theme from THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL. I think he may have had a Waltz cue in QB VII or that might have been a source cue. Can you think of any more "Waltz" type cues in other Goldsmith scored productions?
A tad off a Waltz I remember I had a Drama/Voice Teacher in college who thought Jerry Goldsmith's CAPRICORN ONE Main Title Theme sounded like a "Rumba" to him. I can hear what he's saying.
Listen to that second section of the main theme of ST:TMP, as played presto in the end title (the part with the horns doing triplets in the background).
As the kids say today, "It sounds hella like-a waltz."
