Ok, but I have to go on record and say Goldsmith is more known for his use of 4ths, and especialy fifths than 7ths. But I totally hear you and think that the 7th plays a strong role in Goldsmith, I just think it's not his strongest.@dpcon said:
I agree that Herrmann uses the interval constantly. However he uses it in a far more straightforward manner (as you suggest) in easily recognizable chord formations as in the Vertigo main title. Goldsmith uses it in far more varied ways, often times not recognizable because it's not a triadic formation and is split between instrument groups where as Herrman very often has it within a single orchestral choir (but not always obviously.)
I would agree that Herrmann probably numerically used it more times. However he seems more chained to it than Goldsmith who seemed to free it from any chains.

Not to mention the more disturbed major 7 with a minor triad - as in Vertigo.
Didn't Miles Davis do a score for a Louis Malle film? Anybody heard it?

Philip Glass has to be the most recognizable composer alive, simply because his style is so unique. I hear people copying Glass a lot now, however, which has more than once confused me. They usually only copy him so far, then throw in some things that Glass would never do.
By the way, this is my first post in this forum. The topic was interesting, so I joined.
