The Mummy

LOS ANGELES, CA / CAIRO, EGYPT - Thur, May 7, 2026 - Jerry Goldsmith’s classic score to The Mummy rises again in a collaboration between the Hollywood Studio Symphony in Los Angeles and soloists in Cairo. Goldsmith’s original recording channels the Middle East through Western classical orchestra, echoing iconic films like Laurence of Arabia and Ben Hur. The new recording (and engraving) completes the connection, uniting artists who live and breathe the musical traditions of Egypt together with the union musicians in Los Angeles recording on the same scoring stage as Laurence of Arabia and Ben Hur.

This is the first new recording of [the cue] “The Mummy” from The Mummy since the release of the film in 1999, largely due to the lack of a printed score and parts. It’s a common problem. Film composers are focused on writing and recording specifically for picture, not preparing a commercial manuscript for orchestras. After recording, many scores are tossed in a box or buried in an old hard-drive and then lost to the sands of time, and more recently - wildfires. To resurrect The Mummy, producer Christian Amonson became a musical archaeologist.
