"On Her Majesty's Secret Service" Score Suite

Longtime James Bond fans would instantly notice that some pieces of John Barry's On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) music were used in No Time To Die (2021). 

The soundtrack of On Her Majesty's Secret Service was one of the best (if not THE best) of Barry's James Bond scores. 

The movie itself is considered by many as one of the best Bond movies. Even though the script was written with Sean Connery in mind, the actor decided to depart from the series and was replaced by George Lazenby. 

Lazenby had very little acting experience at the time of his casting. But with that being considered, he did quite well (in my humble opinion). Had he gone on to do more Bonds, he most likely would have grown well into the role. 

But, as this blog post began, it was John Barry's scores that greatly enhanced the movie. 

Here's a YouTube suite of the score:
