Free Music Notes for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]
Free Music Review: A more mature harry potter...
Hit: 5 Stars
I have heard a lot of negative reviews on this soundtrack, mostly because people are bitter that John Williams isn't composing. But I think Patrick Doyle has done a WONDERFUL job. His music brings a more mature theme to the film while still drawing from Williams' old themes.
This is a real film score - there are the exciting tracks and "happy" ones (like the Quidditch World Cup, Potter Waltz, and Foreign Visitors Arrive), and then the more emotional ones (Harry in Winter, Death of Cedric). You really feel like you're reliving the film, with added parts like the mermaid song in "Underwater Secrets" and the last couple of tracks. Overall this is an excellent advancement in the Harry Potter film scores, it is the first time that I, personally, have felt EMOTION while listening to a HP soundtrack!
Free Music Review: Give it a chance
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm a huge John Williams fan and was disapointed and concerned when I heard that he wouldnt be scoring this movie. I had no plans on buying the soundtrack but AOL's music site is currently letting people hear the entire soundtrack for free so I figured since it wasnt going to cost me anything i'd give it a shot. I was pleasently suprised to find out that this is a very good soundtrack. I have now gone out and bought it on CD and cant wait to see the movie. So in short, just because John Williams didnt do it doesnt mean it cant be good. Give it a chance and listen to it more then once before you make your final call. P.S.-the "rock" tracks at the very end arent very good but thats the beauty of CD's, I can program my player to skip these and start it back from the begining.Free Music Review: The sound track of our kids' lives.

The soundtrack for all of the Harry Potter movies has been done by classical maestro and 20th century genius John Williams.
Q; Does John WIlliams make any bad music?
A: No.
Q: Does the music capture the feeling of the movie, taking you back to parts of the story sequentially?
A: Yes
Q: What are the other advantages to buying the soundtrack?
A: Aestetically, you are not competing with the visual imagery of the movie, which was technically well done and highly engaging. This provides an opportunity to explore the nuances of the musical score, without being visually distracted.
This also provides a nice day dreaming interlude for youth, who are highly structured and overprogrammed nowadays.
Free Music Review: This man deserves an Oscar
Hit: 5 Stars
I was a bit leery when I heard a new man artist was going to score the soundtrack to GOF since I had become used to John Williams. But I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved the new direction the music went. It was PERFECT for the atmosphere, a little darker, a little more bombastic and edgy, and mournful exactly when it needed to be. The music composed for the Yule Ball waltz was also absolutely beautiful, even if the dance it self was crazy fast! And I am not ashamed to admit that the score playing during Cedric's death always makes me cry like a baby. A huge round of applause also to the "Weird Sisters" for their contributions, especially Magic Works, which would be a perfect "last dance" song for any occasion. I salute you, Mr. Doyle, for a job well done.Free Music Review: Doyle at Top Form!

I'm sure stepping into the shoes of John Williams is enough to give anybody a case of the jitters... However, Doyle manages with such grace and elegance that one wouldn't notice. "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is not just a great score, it's a masterpiece of classical music that I'm sure Doyle is very proud of. Unlike his successor (Hooper) Patrick Doyle chose to take the Potter series an entirely different direction with a sobering and dramatic work. While tracks like "Harry in Winter" pull at the heartstrings, "The Yule Ball" and it's like are pure classical bliss. Also keep your ears peeled for Doyle's reworking of "Hedwig's Theme" which sounds very akin to a Bohemian/gypsy tune mixed with a gothic flair.
