Harry Gregson-Williams’ score for Kingdom of Heaven, a taste of things to come? Along with every solo instrument –and Gregson-Williams does seem to have done his homework here– nothing in the ensemble is ever able to overpower the chorus, however, and it’s the Howard Shore-like moments of beauty from The Lord of the Rings that make this score shine.
This is part of a review by Filmtracks.com, a website that tells you a lot of backstory about a film score and the composer, including how they got the job of scoring the film. Then it goes into an in-depth review of the score, on a whole. This should be a good look at what we have in store for us, in terms of the score for the Chronicles of Narnia.
His film scores range from co-scoring Shrek and scoring Shrek 2, to Man on Fire, to this epic piece, Kingdom of Heaven. And with Narnia being a dream piece of his, we can all look forward to what could very well be a classical film score, much like the Lord of the Rings. That is exactly what I am hoping for.
