Free Music Notes for A Little Princess: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: It really does kindle your heart, no matter how sappy that sounds
Hit: 5 Stars
If you've seen the movie, chances are you haven't seen it in awhile. Go watch it and think music. NOW you will see why this soundtrack is so very necessary. The trenches tracks are just heart-wrenching. Indian colours (yes, there is a sitar) along with Doyle's gift for beautiful lines (remember the waltzes and prettier bits of 'Goblet of Fire') mesh into a must-have soundtrack. This is seriously lovely. The soundtrack also sports a number of songs for child choruses, all of them, save "Kindle My Heart", I believe, set to William Blake poems: "Tiger, Tiger" is a sprightly little fugue that should make you snicker if you're paying attention to the scene and the lyrics.Free Music Review: Gentle and Entrancing
Hit: 5 Stars
For those fans of Patrick Doyle, this, out of everything else, has got to be my favorite. With a delightful, childish quality that leaves you smiling after most listens.
My particular favorite elements of this muisc, are Mr. Doyles incredible compositions for harp, like in "the Miss Minchin School for Girls", as well as the subtle blending of the choir during songs such as "the Attic" and "Compassion".
All the songs are wonderful, with "Crewe and the SOldier", "On Another's Sorrow", "Breakfast", and "knowing You by HEart" were my absolute favorites.
AN excellent score worth owning, no questions asked.
Free Music Review: "Kindle My Heart" ~ Music For A Little Princess
Hit: 5 Stars
'A Little Princess' is an absolutely delightful film released in '95. Poorly promoted by Warner Brothers, it never received the acclaim it desired. The same can be said for the musical score of composer Patrick Doyle.
This movie soundtrack comprised of -28 tracks- is an enchanting blend of classical and Indian melodies interspersed with the youthful voices of a girls choir chanting mantras and lyrics borrowed from the poetry of William Blake. This inventive combination of musical genres and lyrical choices make for a multi-layered listening experience.
Highly Recommended!
Free Music Review: Magical, Made The Movie A Tearjerker.
Hit: 5 Stars
When I was a little girl, I would movies, that had fabulose soundtracks and as a musician in my later life, I realized that even as I child I had a musical ear.
Then, ten years later, I'm watch this movie and I start bursting into tears, absolutley bursting. Every song, every note, brings tears to my eyes because it's immensley beautiful.
If you thought of each part of the movie, without the music in the background, you'd be saying: Well, the movie is alright. But with the music, this movie is spectaculer. Buy the soundtrack and enjoy it, every night like I do. ;-)

I don't know if I love this CD because it is sentimental for me (reminds me of being a little girl) or because of the music itself. Either way, the melodies are engaging and only bettered by the Indian influence. The songs do vary in feeling and sound, sometimes choir, sometimes instrumental, but obviously with 28 tracks you're going to hear some repetition. Still, I have no problem listening to this CD all the way through, and even after the four years of constant listening I only love it more. Definitely worth having, even more than the movie itself.
