Jerry Goldsmith , Conducted By Lionel Newman

The Omen (1976) was a hit horror film about an American ambassador who discovers his adopted son is the Antichrist, sparking deadly events and dark mythology. Composer Jerry Goldsmith won his only Oscar for Best Original Score, including the eerie “Ave Satani,” a chilling “Black Mass” theme. The score blends haunting chants with thrilling action and moments of warmth, like the love theme “The Piper Dreams” sung by Goldsmith’s wife, making it one of his best works.
