Free Music Notes for Winged Migration
Free Music Review: Absolutely AMAZING
Hit: 5 Stars
The movie was what inspired me to seek out this sound track. It brings tears to my eyes it's just that touching - telling the tale of the trials and joys of bird migration through a wonderful compilation of songs - some have lyrics some are instrumental. There are sounds of geese honking and songbirds singing throughout, telling stories, singing poems - just wonderful. Its simply magical just as is the incredible strength of nature and migration itself."Tonight I will be by your side, but tomorrow I will fly, tomorow I will fly...."
Oh it gives me goose bumps just listening to it now. Every song is wonderful - they flow like water, with drum beats, flutes, and other instuments. I highly recommend the movie too!
Free Music Review: Inventive World Music
Hit: 5 Stars
This soundtrack is really beautiful. The composer, Bruno Coulais has effectively combined the rhythms and sounds of various lands around the globe with the natural sounds of beating wings and calls of the birds that star in this masterpiece of a film.
My favorite performances are vocalized by a group called A Filetta. They are a bunch of men with vocal talents like Bobby McFerrin's that have banded together into an a cappella orchestra of sorts. Coulais' direction of these vocal masters is documented in one of the "making of" extras in the DVD.
GET THE DVD TOO. Although the soundtrack stands quite well on its own, hearing the music in the context it was created for is a Bonus.
Free Music Review: Excellent soundtrack to a gorgeous film
Hit: 5 Stars
This soundtrack is soothing and quite beautiful. Some of the cello writing is hauntingly beautiful. Coulais' imaginative, but discreet, use of the orchestra is masterful and fits the tone of the film perfectly. The vocal contributions by Nick Cave and Robert Wyatt are great. Only the chanting of adult men bothered me. The music that accompanies the return of the cranes has a few notes played by a woodwind instrument that always remind me of some notes played by either a woodwind or brass instrument during the "Et songe bien, oui, songe en combattant/Qu'un oeil noir te regarde," passage of the Toreador Song from Bizet's opera "Carmen".Free Music Review: Beautiful!
Hit: 5 Stars
I've owned this CD for several years now, and it definitely remains on my short, short list of favorites! The music is beautiful and contemplative, drawing the listener into the journey of migration undertaken by the birds who inspired it. Everything is amazing on it: the writing, the instrumentation, the vocals. This albumn is definitely not just for fans of the movie, but for anyone who loves slow, calming, thoughtful music.Free Music Review: Liked the Movie, Loved the Soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
I enjoyed the movie quite a bit but it was actually the music which kept running through my head after the film. The CD had yet to be released at that time and it turned out to be better than I imagined. From the songs to the background scoring, each track "soars". If you buy one soundtrack this year, I highly reccommend this one. Actually, if for some reason you only buy one CD, you won't go wrong here either.
