As I wrote about it back in 2015:
A man claiming to be a general for the Texas Rangers collects men to annex Sante Fe, which at the time was part of Mexico. However, things don't go well at all and food and water is scare of long distances, while also being stalked and picked off by an indian warrior as they are all trespassing through their territory. Then they are arrested and sent on a death march of 500 miles to a Mexican prison, by Captain Salazar (Edward James Olmos).
Sometimes brutal, often unforgiving, and lessons in life taught the hard way, this nicely written and wonderfully shot (with eye candy shots) mini series was scored by David Bell. The score was nominated for an Emmy (he lost out to Ernest Troost, as I recall). The mini series also won two other awards.
Bell's claims to fame are the Star Trek spin-off series (minus TNG) and multiple episodes of "Muder, She Wrote".
Bell got this assignment after rescoring about 30 minutes of a related mini series called "Streets of Laredo", which was scored by David Shire.
The characters are interesting without going into great depths (which isn't needed here), acting is wonderful (with only two or three woobly performances) and the mini series is divided into three distinct parts as the journey progresses and things get worse. Can anybody come out alive in this tale?

If you like an orchestral score with some extra flavor thrown in, and a catchy memorable theme, you should hopefully like this.
Since there has been no release of ANY original scores Post has done, then it should go without saying there has been no release.

Highlights:
0:00 in. Four minutes and forty-three seconds of jazz.
11:38 in. Some menacing jazz.
19:42 in.

That's probably just over half the score. I won't advocate for a full release.
* = LOL, what? Six murders and New York City comes to a stand still? I don't think that was a thing even in 1971. I'm pretty sure back then if you were getting murdered in broad daylight in the street, cabbie's would be telling the murdered to hurry it up and move out of the street.
Out-of-context quote...
"No! No I won't come!"
