Free Music Notes for The Kite Runner
Free Music Review: enchanting Middle Eastern inspired orchestral music
Hit: 5 Stars
The soundtrack to "Kite Runner" is as compelling as the story. The score for Marc Forster's big screen adaptation is a synthesis of various styles. While the Western symphony orchestra is the primary vehicle, it is adorned with Middle Eastern and Asian esthetics. Composer Alberto Iglesias admits that the score does not play authentic Afghan music. Instead, Eastern flavored World Music is infused with regional elements like the Tablas from India and the Persian Santoor. While the Hollywood Studio Symphony may perform Iglesias' compositions, songs by Ahmad Zahir and Ehsan Aman contribute music by Afghanis. In a soundtrack that is dominated by serious acoustic music, Ahman Zahir's 'Tanha Shudam Tanha' adds a delightfully kitschy jam. A problem with orchestral soundtracks is that for everyday listening, listeners don't necessarily want to hear a story's panic stricken, tense climax during the morning commute. As a musical postcard, this soundtrack is surprisingly light and even-keeled. It is unusual that 'Escape' is the only high-strung composition given the story's dark themes. Indeed, most of these compositions bring back whimsical memories of two friends playing with kites on a cobblestone street. Aside from the film, this music will appeal to anyone with an appreciation of Middle Eastern inspired orchestral music. For good reasons, this music was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. While bringing honor to Khaled Hosseini's book, "Kite Runner" is a soundtrack that stands on its own.
