A lounge jazz/light rock score. The main title theme is a hip beat with a prominent Hammond organ performing the dance like melody, accompanied by a rock drum kit, before it veers off into the first of a series of impressionistic harpsichord interludes. youtu.be/DOHwVZqr0mY

The “Main Title” is a fun, bombastic march-like theme which bounces a series of staccato phrases around the orchestra. The rhythmic part of the theme is unique, if not downright bizarre, a 5-note motif with a sort-of brass fanfare. youtu.be/fjHu65xV3jQ

Jerry Goldsmith's score is built around several recurring main themes, including a powerful main theme, a wonderfully atmospheric trombone glissando motif which is usually used as a sort of ‘identity marker’ for the lurking presence of The Shadow. youtu.be/qU8YJdPtLlU

The score features an orchestra, the chorus of I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni, and specialist instruments including keyboards, guitars and marimbas. But that description of simple facts doesn’t really come close to capturing just how odd the score is. youtu.be/SQFsrZTFqLU

The superb “Main Titles” grows out from a duet between a solo violin and a pennywhistle to encompass the full orchestra in sweeping, stirring fashion. The main theme appears in almost every cue in the score in one form or another. youtu.be/_orFTXBj3-0

'Song of Life' appears as a languid lounge-rock arrangement featuring a prominent Hammond organ, and picks up the full choir of Alessandrini’s Cantori Moderni that it shares a lot of similarity with the superb 'Abolição' cue from 1969’s film "Queimada". youtu.be/Outa6L1A_ZU

The most iconic theme is a dirty and gritty theme for orchestra, wailing guitars and darkly insistent pianos, which gradually emerges into a strident melody that many may see as a forerunner to the theme he wrote for Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight. youtu.be/1fDsMlMSiks

This score sees Morricone embracing his romantic side, no more so than in the opening titular song, a soft, gentle, idyllic piece for voices, guitars, and percussion backed with strings, and which contains a lovely interlude duet for piano and oboe. youtu.be/B9iGmVj0VS8

“Main Title” opens with three consecutive chords grave with timpani strikes. We enter the film proper ominously with “A Rainy Night” where a dramatic kinetic galloping motif propels a carriage. A foreboding musical narrative unfolds the third cue. youtu.be/q0AFyZBGp_0

The “Main Title” offers a driving piece that pairs guitars, woodwinds, and thunderous strings, into which are inserted an anarchic, array of bizarre choral outbursts and sound effects. This score is one of Ennio Morricone’s best non-Leone western. youtu.be/l_redVsP6hw

The opening cue “Main Title/The Caravan” acts as an overture of sorts, introducing several of the score’s main themes one after the other. The main theme for Mowgli is a majestic and long lined theme that speaks to the nobility and heroism of his character youtu.be/q7mTMnM22qQ

“Nuddu” (Someone) is a delicate, intimate piece for guitars, classical strings, and a whistled melody by the great Alessandro Alessandrini. The conclusive “Ancora Più Dolcemente” (Even More Sweetly) is much more upbeat, a tropical bossa-nova rhythm. youtu.be/hdPAUTWqeAc
