(1965)

None but the Brave: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack album for the 1965 film None but the Brave, composed by John Williams and conducted by Morris Stoloff. Recorded at Warner Bros. Studios Burbank from October to November 1964, [1] the soundtrack is particularly notable as one of Williams' earliest film scores and was his largest and most ambitious yet at the time. [2] It was released by Film Score Monthly in June 2009 as part of their Silver Age Classics series. [3] [4]

Orchestration came from Albert Woodbury, with Stoloff conducting and overseeing, and Dan Wallin handling the mix. Sessions occurred at Warner Bros. Studios Burbank's scoring stage on October 14, 22, 26, and November 11, 1964. It is one of the few film scores written by Williams that he did not conduct, and this has been attributed to Williams likely being occupied with John Goldfarb, Please Come Home! at the time.
