Free Music Notes for Rome: Music from the HBO Series
Free Music Review: Incredibly beautiful and haunting.
Hit: 5 Stars
I waited for many months until HBO got around to releasing the soundtrack to this incredible drama series. If you are a fan of the series, then this is absolutely essential to add to one's music collection. The composer, Jeff Beal, reminds me a great deal of Brian Tyler--the producer of the Children of Dune soundtrack. Both artists incorporate a strong flair of Eastern elements into their music and the result is spectacular. My personal favorite of the Rome soundtrack? "Cleopatra Seduces Caesar" (and that episode is my favorite of the first season).Free Music Review: Modern Ancient Epic Soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been a fan of ancient epic soundtracks since I first watched Ben Hur in 1959, and for many years there has been a dearth of quality classical style soundtracks in this genre. The HBO Rome series resurrects this genre with a very satisfying soundtrack to this fabulous HBO series. Although it is not always awe-inspiring or classic, the Rome soundtrack is quality modern soundtrack music, and it listens well.We are living in the modern Rome otherwise known as America, and this soundtrack helps to convey the debauchery we all know is the Empire.Free Music Review: A stand out stand-alone score
Hit: 5 Stars
Most sound tracks simply don't work as stand-alone musical pieces when taken out of context of the film they were written for. Not so with the score for Rome, the peerless HBO series. This is a series of haunting, eerie, stirring and thoughtful pieces of music which together comprise an enchanting album, whether or not the listener has seen the series for which the score was written. And if you haven't seen it you don't know what you're missing. Great music for the greatest series.Free Music Review: Excellent
Hit: 5 Stars
I feel this CD is a great blend of music. The tracks vary from stirring martial themes to tranquil pieces and sensual vibes. Jeff Beal, in the liner notes, said that he only used instruments available in ancient Rome. He pointed out that we know little about the music that was played on these instruments. But the tracks meshed well with my perception of the events in the outstanding HBO series.Free Music Review: fabulous, romantic music
Hit: 5 Stars
I loved the series ROME and admired the theme music, and noticed the other background music. When I received the CD with the wonderful music, I loved it even more. I would also recommend it as a romantic, sensual backdrop. The composer should receive a grammy or emmy. I've listened to it many times, and I usually don't select this type of music.
