About this album
How The West Was Won is a grand, old-Hollywood soundtrack built on Alfred Newman’s expansive orchestral writing and memorable vocal numbers associated with Debbie Reynolds and Ken Darby. Issued in 1963 for the MGM western epic, the score helped define the film’s larger-than-life tone, moving from overture and main title grandeur to lyrical themes such as Home In The Meadow. Newman, one of Hollywood’s most celebrated composers, gives the album both spectacle and emotional warmth, while the song material adds a human centre to the film’s panoramic ambition. It remains a vivid example of studio-era soundtrack craftsmanship.
