Free Music Notes for The Color Purple [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]
Free Music Review: Much Needed Buy For My Movie Soundtrack Collection
Hit: 4 Stars
The most amazing thing about The Color Purple soundtrack is how its music truly complemented the musical stories of the characters. One example is the subtle, definitive, and somewhat comical "Sofia's Walk." As contrast, there is also the very poignant piece for the main character Celie's 'coming into her own' titled "I'm Here" (this piece actually can bring me to tears [not an easy feat for me]). The most genius, though--and my absolute favorite--is "Champayne Train." Now, this piece embodies the total transition of the character (and film, in my opinion) through Celie's fantasy: a scene of her standing on a train in motion, sipping champagne and tossing little chocolate candies out to the spirit of her sister Nettie. Emotions of reunion of hearts, elation, light at the end of the tunnel, faith and overcomming are truly generated here. I invite you to listen closely as the instruments in this piece is capturing the sounds of a train when in motion is rocking and swaying across the tracks. Wow! How did they do that!? All I can say is: High Kudos to Quincy Jones and Company for this accomplishment. I give this review four (4) stars, because this is a 2 CD set and I do not feel equal passion for every piece, but other than that, this set is worth it. I had this production on LP and it has been on my CD wish list for a number of years (too many). This was a much needed buy for my movie soundtrack collection.Free Music Review: Wonderful Album
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a wonderful soundtrack! I originally owned the cassette version of it. My 2 favorite songs are "Sister (Miss Celie's Blues)" and "Maybe God's Trying To Tell you Something." Everytime I listen to those songs, I always visualize the scenes from the movie in my head. If you know someone who loves the movie, I recommend getting him or her this soundtrack.Free Music Review: Just What I Ordered
Hit: 4 Stars
I have been looking for this CD forever. I was told that it was "out of print". I was thrilled when I found it and it was reasonably priced. I will have to day that the music in the actual movie was better than what is on the CD, but that is always the way...Free Music Review: A must have!
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a good cd, although it was not exactly what I was expecting. I was hoping for more lyrics in the songs rather than just the music, as it was sung in the movie. Although I love the music just the same.Free Music Review: Lots of instrumental pieces
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a great CD, but if you are looking for a lot of gospel tunes you might be disappointed, there are many instrumental peices, that are pretty however.
