《毕业生》电影原声大碟带由戴夫 格鲁辛与保罗 西蒙合作编写,前者负责音乐部份,后者则负责片中多首插曲,包括脍炙人口的The Sound Of Silence、Scaebrough Fair、Mrs Robinson等,当年都是令人朗朗上口的畅销曲。格鲁辛是着名爵士乐钢琴手,但配乐风格颇为多 样化,本片偏向清新的民谣风,颇能反映入世未深的大学生心境。西蒙则是着名民谣二重唱Simon And Garfunkel的作曲主将,历年参与电影配乐的作品只有5部,去年的《成名之路》Almost Famous是最新作品。
The Graduate is an album of songs from the soundtrack of Mike Nichols' movie The Graduate, featuring many songs from the folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel. Released on January 21, 1968, the album was produced by Teo Macero.
Although the album features two versions of the acclaimed "Mrs. Robinson", neither is the full version as featured on Bookends. The first is an instrumental, while the second is abbreviated, tapering off as it does in the film. However, the other major song of the album, "The Sound of Silence" is used three times in the film.
