Finally!

I'd worked my way up the responses to this thread for 15 minutes looking for what is my clear favorite, and only a tiny mention in one list.

I have watched that movie two dozen times at least, just to hear the music. The opening scene tells the story. Anybody who doesn't get a thrill from the wide-screen view of New Mexico, as the camera moves through the door of the shack in which Scott Glenn just defended himself, incredibly enhanced by the swelling of the music, should be an engineer.
(what a minute...)

Randol Bass did an arrangement of the overture music for Silverado for band that I played when I lived in San Antonio. Even in the arrangement, Broughton's score creates a sense of the expansive American West in ways no other composer has approached, and I've listed to everything inspired by that subject from Grofe to Reich.
