Book Blogger Hop: 'A Bookish Soundtrack'

Welcome to the Book Blogger Hop!

This Week's Prompt:

What book would make a killer soundtrack, and what would that soundtrack sound like?

My Answer:

Many of my favorite books have already been adapted into films with accompanying soundtracks or musical scores. However, I would like to focus on Six-Horse Hitch, a 1969 Western by Janice Holt Giles. Unfortunately, none of her works have been adapted into films, although this particular book nearly had a chance in the past. Since it is a Western, it wouldn’t require modern lyrical music; instead, it would benefit from an epic musical score. One could dream of a score composed by John Williams, but he is in his mid-90s and only comes out of retirement for Steven Spielberg. If only Spielberg would direct a film adaptation of Six-Horse Hitch, then perhaps I could get that John Williams score. But for now, it remains just a dream.
