Album Description From composer David Arnold (Casino Royale, Independence Day) comes the sweeping original score to the motion picture Amazing Grace. Recorded in London with some of the world's top musicians, Arnold brings to life the intense journey of Williams Wilberforce and his quest to abolish the British Slave Trade in the UK during the 1700s. Amazing Grace is the story of the famed hymn, its author John Newton (Albert Finney) and the powerful journey of William Wilberforce (Loan Gruffund- A&E's Horatio Hornblower, Fantastic Four) the man who risked his life and followed his calling to end slavery. Wilberforce's dream finally came true around the time of his death. Britain's slave trade was abolished and slaves were finally free. Experience this music journey as history unfolds and the power of one voice changes the world. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsDisappointed in the extreme Fred A. Miller | line lexington, pa | 04/26/2007 (2 out of 5 stars) "I bought the soundtrack with the hope that the best song on the movie - the bagpipes version of Amazing Grace at the end of the film - would be on it. It is not. If your objective is to get that bagpipe song, don't get the CD. the other songs are ok, but nothing to write home about." AN OVERALL POWERFUL SCORE! Steven Hancock | Winston Salem, NC United States | 08/06/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "David Arnold has delivered fantastic film scores for movies such as "Independence Day," "Godzilla," and the last four James Bond movies. The music he delivers for the movie "Amazing Grace" may not be his overall best effort, but some of the tracks on this CD are among his best work yet. The standout pieces are: 1) Opening Title; 11) We Have Hope; 23) Dying, and; 24) Triumph. The rest of the music is not as good, but solid nonetheless. My only real complaint is that the stirring rendition of "Amazing Grace" on the bagpipes is not featured on this CD, but that does little to diminish the overall power of Arnold's work. While it might not be sensational, it is a fine CD that belongs in the collection of any fan of movie music. Grade: B+" Amazing Grace MIA R Erwin | 01/05/2008 (3 out of 5 stars) "While the score is very nice, the main reason for purchase was the wonderfully powerful rendition of "Amazing Grace" during the closing credits. It is NOT on the CD! How could they do this? The signature piece is missing in action (MIA)??!! Very disappointing, to say the least."
