IT'S BACK!! . . .In a new, expanded edition! Pithikos Entertainment is proud to present the EXPANDED SECOND EDITION of the acclaimed book SIMIANS & SERIALISM—the first comprehensive history and analysis of Jerry Goldsmith’s landmark score to Arthur P. Jacobs’ production of Franklin J. Schaffner’s film PLANET OF THE APES.

Comprehensive analysis of every cue brings to light the strong influences of composers Béla Bartók, Alban Berg, Ernst Krenek, Maurice Ravel, Aaron Copland and Modest Mussorgsky. Framed with all new research on the production and release of the classic 1968 sci-fi film and its four sequels, SIMIANS & SERIALISM reveals a rich production background and includes fascinating, unknown details. In the EXPANDED SECOND EDITION of SIMIANS & SERIALISM, author John O’Callaghan returns to the serial landscape of PLANET OF THE APES and probes deeper into Jerry Goldsmith’s masterpiece with exciting new discoveries. Illustrated with a generous collection of 110 figures that include excepts from Goldsmith’s sketches, diagrams and historical data, this edition also debuts a brand-new, in-depth analysis of Goldsmith’s score to ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES and a history and examination of Leonard Rosenman’s score to BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES.
