Bruce Broughton

Bruce Broughton certainly knows how to use an orchestra to create powerful, adventurous themes, but he sadly seems to be underutilized these days. His most notable scores are for the rousing Westerns Silverado and Tombstone. His dramatic music for Young Sherlock Holmes is filled with expressive themes, and he also provided the music for Disney's The Rescuers Down Under. He also was an orchestration consultant for Daft Punk's surprisingly strong score to Tron: Legacy. If you go to Disney theme parks, you have almost certainly heard Broughton's music. He created the music for the attractions One Man's Dream, Honey I Shrunk the Audience, Golden Dreams, Seasons of the Vine, It's Tough to Be a Bug, O Canada, Ellen's Energy Adventure, and Spaceship Earth. He has also composed background music played in the parks. If life were fair, Broughton would be composing a lot more scores.
