Filmtracks

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 Orchestra.

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.
