Ordinary People Soundtrack

Instrumental Score

Primary Composer(s): Marvin Hamlisch

Opinion

The original score was composed by veteran composer Marvin Hamlisch. It's very fitting to the movie's emotional content, but very similar to "Terms of Endearment".

Michael Gabauer adds: "I recently purchased the 45 on ebay. It is only available in this form and rather odd is the fact that an established composer like Marvin H. wasn't able to land a soundtrack for this film. The music on the 45 is usually in two versions. One side is the orchestral version of the Canon in D and the flip side is piano only by Marvin. The value is at about $20 but worth it for the modern-style at the time of the film's release (1980)."Update Us
