Lalo Schifrin - The Mask of Sheba (Music From The Original Score) (2025) [Hi-Res]

This album marks the world premiere release of the complete score composed by the legendary Lalo Schifrin for the 1970 made-for-television adventure film, "The Mask of Sheba". The movie follows an expedition of anthropologists into the Ethiopian desert in search of a priceless artifact: a golden mask believed to have belonged to the Queen of Sheba herself. Their quest is fraught with deadly perils, betrayal, and mysterious occurrences that suggest an ancient curse protects the relic.

Lalo Schifrin's music is a prime example of his signature 1970s style. The score is filled with dynamic action cues, tense suspenseful passages, and jazz-inflected harmonies. The composer masterfully incorporates exotic percussion and woodwinds to evoke the atmosphere of the African landscapes and ancient mysteries. This long-lost score showcases Schifrin's energy and ingenuity in the action-adventure genre.
