Elmer Bernstein

Elmer Bernstein (1922–2004) was an American composer best known for his film and television scores, including The Magnificent Seven and The Ten Commandments.

Bernstein composed scores across a wide range of genres—epic, western, television and comedy—and his work includes the films The Magnificent Seven, The Ten Commandments, To Kill a Mockingbird and many others.

The available review praises Elmer Bernstein's McQ soundtrack for its variety and catchy main theme (an 'orchestral funk'). The reviewer highlights Bernstein's wide-ranging career across epics, westerns, TV and comedy. McQ is presented as an enjoyable, genre-mixing album that works without knowledge of the film.
