The Indiana Jones Selection

This selection made a choice from the thrilling and expressive sound tracks John Williams wrote for the three movie pictures dealing with the adventures of the archeologist Doctor Jones (Harrison Ford). It starts with the popular 'Raiders' March' which runs as a thread throughout the whole selection. The listener is immediately brought to the subterranean vaults from the film 'The Temple of Doom'. In 'Slave Children's Crusade' we hear the children toiling in the mines of Pangkot-Palace. The 'Short Round's Theme' (Short Round is the name of the boywho saves Indiana Jones several times) is followed by the quieter 'Love Theme' from the first film 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'.The choral and the cor anglais (alto saxophone) solo at the end were borrowed fromthe third film 'Indiana Jones and the last Crusade'.
