Free Music Review: Beautiful
Hit: 5 Stars

I love really movie theme music and film scores. I remember thinking when I got The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album way back when, that the theme tune by Alan Silvestri at the end of the album was actually the best part - no disrespect to Whitney Houston et al; I think they were all brilliant - and I still feel that way about it now. The pity is that at just 2mins 44secs, it's over almost as soon as it begins.

I've seen two of these three films but I wanted this CD principally because of Lyle Mays (of the Pat Metheny Group), who plays on the theme from 1984's "Mrs. Soffel". It's pretty much what I expected, Mays plays beautiful piano, with Peter Maunu on violin, Mark Isham himself on synthesiszers, Penny Whistle and piano, with a full orchestra behind them all, arranged and conducted by Mark Adler. It's serene, relaxing but at 13mins 59 secs, always interesting, with several different movements.

The theme to "The Times of Harvey Milk" is equally interesting, though shorter at 8mins 32secs. Isham plays synthesizers and trumpet. This 1984 Oscar-winning Robert Epstein & Richard Schmiechen documentary is the only film here that I haven't seeen and I'm quite keen to get my hands on it if I can find it on DVD.

The final tune, from the 1983 Carroll Ballard film "Never Cry Wolf" is also a pleasant surprise. At 24mins 48secs long, it takes me on a delightfully moody, almost haunting journey. Rufus Oliver plays bassoon, Bill Douglass is on bamboo flutes, George Marsh plays percussion, Tucky Bailey plays glass, Natalie Cox plays harp, Mark Isham is on synthesizers and voices are provided by Annie Stocking, Stephanie Douglass, Kathy Hudnall and Jeanette Spartaine. Once again, Mark Adler arranges and conducts the orchestra.

Not quite jazz and not quite classical, maybe it falls somewhere in the middle? Whatever it is, I think it's beautiful.
