Description
The epic Arthurian movie First Knight starring Sean Connery (King Arthur) and Richard Gere (Lancelot) is one of my favorite movie scores. The soaring music of Jerry Goldsmith captures the epic and also the romantic scenes in a fantastic way. Promise Me is in fact a medley with all of the major themes from the movie. It starts bravely with the beautiful main theme and evolves into the love theme with a dramatic highlight. In the last section the main theme returns and culminates to a heroic ending.
