1980

In his scores, especially in the 1980s, he often used the Ondes Martenot, an early electronic instrument, invented in France in 1928. Its ethereal singing sound can be prominently heard, for example, on My Left Foot (1989) and Ghostbusters (1984).

Elmer Bernstein was educated at the Walden School and New York University. He served in the US Army Air Corps in World War II. A prolific and respected film music composer, he was a protégé of Aaron Copland, who studied music with Roger Sessions and Stefan Wolpe. Bernstein worked in various artistic endeavors, including painting and the theatre and also performed as an actor and dancer. Among his early composition work were scores for United Nations radio programs and television and industrial documentaries. His original scores for films range over an enormous variety of styles, with his groundbreaking jazz score for The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), light musical comedies such as his Oscar-winning Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) score, and perhaps his most familiar score, for the western The Magnificent Seven (1960).

1953

In 1953, he was doing scores for such notorious ultra-low-budget films as the infamous Robot Monster (1953) and Cat-Women of the Moon (1953). Only three years later, he was doing the score for Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments (1956).
