Musical Perfection: Dimitri Tiomkin
Tiomkin received 22 Academy Award nominations and won four Oscars, three for Best Original Score for High Noon, The High and the Mighty, and The Old Man and the Sea, and one for Best Original Song for "The Ballad of High Noon" from the film High Noon
Dimitri Tiomkin was born in Tsarist Russia in 1894. He trained in classical music in St. Petersburg before the revolution, then moved to Berlin in the 1920s. Shortly thereafter, he moved to the United States and then to Hollywood after the crash of 1929. Director Frank Capra asked him to write the score for the film Lost Horizon in 1937. This was his big break into composing for movies.
Doing justice to Dimitri Tiomkin’s music in just one column would be impossible, so this time I will mention and list a few of his works. Some of them you will find familiar, but others may be new to you. We know him best from film scores from the 1940s through the 1960s.
