Free Music Notes for Glory: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: Glory, A Truly Glorious Soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
This is James Horner's first soundtrack that brought him to fame. He went on to compose heart stirring themes in Braveheart and Titanic, but in my opinion, Glory is Horner's best.
The main theme is rousing, first starting with some light flutes then builds up into a beautiful harmony of strings, cellos, and drums. This main theme most prominantly found in "Preparing for Battle" and "A Call to Arms" has been recycled and been the subject to many variations of Horner's later scores and even by other "rival" composers. Another theme which sounds quite like the one in Glory is the main theme in Braveheart.
Horner has composed a truly magnificant score that invokes emotion from the listener; he brings the tension and the caranage back in "Charging Fort Wagner" and the majestic main theme most dominant as the African Americans muster and make ready for battle in "Preparing for Battle." Horner's use of the choir (I think more specifically the Boys Choir of Harlem) adds an African American soul to the score.
This score, in my opinion, oudoes Horner's later scores for Titanic and Braveheart.
Horner has crafted a true musical masterpiece with this score. Listen to it and prepare to be brought back to the Civil War and marching amongst African American soldiers as they assault Fort Wagner.
