Silver Streak (film) - Score and Soundtrack

Score and Soundtrack

Even though the film dates to 1976, Henry Mancini's score was never officially released as a soundtrack before his death in 1994. When Intrada Records released a compilation in 2002, 26 years after the film's release, it became one of the Top Special Releases of 2002. The songs are:

• "Main Title" (starts out with a repeated leitmotif, which sounds intentionally just like a locomotive rhythm) – Henry Mancini
• "Hilly's theme" (Jazz version) – Henry Mancini
• "Runaway train" As the train speeds out of control and approaches to the station, Mancini punctuates the action with propulsive rhythms and flurries of motion- Henry Mancini
• "This Is Terrific" – Henry Mancini
• "Something for Jill" (It doesn't appear in the film, recorded for an early segment of the movie) – Mancini
• "Bye Bye Professor Lie Down George" – Henry Mancini
