Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is the soundtrack to Steven Spielberg's 1989 film of the same name. It was released by Warner Records in 1989. The music was composed and conducted by John Williams and performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony, with orchestrations provided by Herbert W. Spencer, Alexander Courage, John Neufeld and Patrick Hollenbeck.
The official album only contains key moments from the film's score and is out of print. The expanded edition was officially released by Concord Music Group in a box set with the soundtracks of the other Indiana Jones films on November 11, 2008.[1] Williams' arrangement of the Königgrätzer Marsch, the German military march that is played during the Berlin book burning scene, does not appear on the soundtrack. The soundtrack contains a variety of leitmotifs, such as for the Nazis, the Holy Grail and the returning Indiana Jones theme.
Tracks do not appear in the order that they occur in the film, but instead in a succession chosen by Williams for listening purposes
Silva released a new version of Williams' Indiana Jones music entitled "The Indiana Jones Trilogy"[2] on January 21, 2003. It features various cues from the entire trilogy, with four from The Last Crusade. However, although they use the original manuscripts, this is a re-recording performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
The soundtrack to The Last Crusade was re-released on CD in November 2008 with expanded and remastered versions of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Temple of Doom. The set includes material never before issued from the original albums.[3]
The soundtrack was reissued by Walt Disney Records and released alongside the other four film soundtrack albums from the series in a collective 5-CD box set on March 27, 2024.[4]
