Jerry Goldsmith was an American composer who wrote scores for films and television. He composed "Ave Satani" for the 1976 horror film "The Omen." The piece uses a choral arrangement with Latin lyrics that translate to "Hail Satan," which gave it a certain notoriety alongside its effectiveness in the movie.
Goldsmith worked on over 200 film and television projects during his career. Some of his other compositions include "Peace In Our Life," "A Girl Worth Fighting For," and "Honor To Us All." He often recorded with orchestras like the London Symphony Orchestra.
He received five Academy Awards for his work. The music for "The Omen" earned him one of those awards.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
