Imhotep is a musical theme credited to Jerry Goldsmith for The Mummy. It appears as track one on the film's soundtrack, at 4:18 in length. Beginning with Arab-sounding strings and a single flute, choirs sound out in ominous tones with strings, leading up to a grand orchestral Egyptian-sounding refrain that transitions onto a set of cues, the first being the cue of Seti I, a sweeping almost epic motif, moving onto a calmer, more subtle cue for Imhotep and Anck-Su-Namun. The track then transitions into a dramatic, romantic cue that leads into a dramatic sting and moves onto suspicion and sharp, loud stings, leading to ominous tones that shift to a sharp and severe tone that changes to a dark and ominous motif with low echoing xylophone notes.
