Song of the Day #1920

Song of the Day: King of Kings (“Soundtrack Suite”) [YouTube link], composed by Miklos Rozsa, graces this 1961 Biblical epic about the life of Jesus, played by Jeffrey Hunter. Rozsa received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Score, one of three lifetime Golden Globe nominations. Up against himself for 1961’s score to “El Cid” (featured yesterday), Rozsa lost to Dimitri Tiomkin (for “Guns of Navarone“).
