Basil Poledouris - "Conan The Barbarian (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)" The musical score for Conan the Barbarian was composed and conducted by Basil Poledouris. The film's music mostly conveys a sense of power, energy, and brutality, yet there are tender moments. The sounds of oboes and string instruments accompany Conan and Valeria's intimate scenes, imbuing them with a sense of lush romance and an emotional intensity. Continuing with it's soundtrack campaign, UMe will be reissuing this title back on standard weight vinyl for the first time in years.
