Trivia:

Several of the themes from his score for Gettysburg (1993) (e.g. "Fife and Gun") are used frequently in various film trailers and television programing, particularly sports coverage. His theme from The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. (1993) was used in coverage of the Olympics in 2002, and again by NBC during its coverage of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. See more »
