Out of Africa, John Barry, Film Score Composer




- John Barry (1933 - 2011), born in the city of York, Northern England, was a British composer and conductor who provided the musical scores for more than 100 motion pictures and television programs, notably 11 movies featuring Ian Fleming’s iconic spy James Bond. He captured 5 Academy Awards for Born Free; The Lion in Winter, Out of Africa (1985), and Dances with Wolves (1990), as well as nominations for Mary Queen of Scots (1971) and Chaplin (1992).

In 1998 John Barry was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame; in 1999 he was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) at Buckingham Palace for services to music, and received the British Academy of Film & Television Arts (BAFTA) Academy Fellowship Award in 2005. Also in 2005, the American Film Institute ranked John Barry's score for Out of Africa No. 15 on their list of the greatest film scores.
