"Quest for Gold" features original music from the award-winning television documentary commemorating the 150th anniversary of the California Gold Rush. This music helps to revive the feelings of anticipation and excitement experienced by thousands of ambitious gold-seekers. The dusty trail out West echoed promises of riches beyond one's wildest dreams, but for many, their hopes of prosperity quickly turned into despair. Through moving musical themes, one can envision gold-hungry prospectors strumming their banjos as they creep along the dusty trail, or discouraged miners finding solace in the harmonica's tune as they gaze into the campfire's flames. In 2000, this original musical score was recognized as a National Telly Awards finalist.
