The key to Goldsmith's success with this score is his brilliant method of wavering the brass, woodwinds, and strings in a bee-like buzz. So precise is the sound that the waffling of those instruments creates that it might cause you to hear bees swarming in the room with you. Goldsmith also varies the intensity of this orchestral sound effect in order to elevate or slip into the subconscious the danger posed by the oncoming swarm. In some cases, this reduces the effect down to a single woodwind underneath a romantic string interlude. ... Easily the most interesting aspect of The Swarm is the fact that Goldsmith saves a singular theme for the "End Title," an exuberant, driving piece of chopping strings and pounding timpani that actually, in its horn movements, reminds of Rudy, Hoosiers and other later Goldsmith scores that rely on rolling momentum for their appeal. - Filmtracks, 4 stars out of 5
