3/5/15 |
That outfit just cannot be comfortable.
Pretty.

What You Will Hear: Full orchestra, classical era styles, waltzes, and wondrous choir. An end credits pop tune, and two nice in film vocal pieces.
Standout Tracks: Orphaned, The Stag, Pumpkins And Mice, Valse Royale, Secret Garden, La Polka De Minuit, Pumpkin Pursuit Will you be humming along? You'll enjoy a very pretty 7 note theme. (Check out The Stag.) The piece this makes me want to dust off: Piano Concerto No. 2 - Dmitri Shostakovich Will I come back to it? This could probably be scored to the original animated classics of the 30's-50s, and I'm not sure it will be accepted by most modern ears. It really sounds like Disney has stayed very true to the source material with this film. Instead of a reimagining (Snow White or Alice), this music makes me expect a frame-to-frame retelling of the animated version. I'm torn... I could call this score too "fluffy" for my tastes and leave it at that. But, in our cynical world of dark reboots, I'm also intrigued by a modern score that is unabashedly at peace with being a fairy tale. It is that final reasoning that will bring me back to Doyle's score. I simply love that it exists in 2015. |
