Song of the Day: Main Title Theme From Dirty Harry by Lalo Schifrin


If there’s one man who would have stood with Marshal Kane, it was Harry Callahan.

In honor of the fact, today’s song of the day comes from 1971’s Dirty Harry. Composer Lalo Schifrin’s moody score remains one of the best cop film scores of all time.  It’s efficient, relentless, and deceptively low-key, just like “Dirty Harry” Callahan himself.

 

Song of the Day: Superman March by John Williams


Since today is National Superhero Day, it only makes sense that today’s song of the day should John Williams’s rousing Superman March from 1978’s Superman.  In this video from 2023, John Williams conducts the Saito Kinen Orchestra.
