Synopsis

Amazon.com

Danna offers a strange experiment on this score to Atom Egoyan's wistful and sinister film. He combines his familiar Celtic dirges, the nail-grating violins associated with Bartók, and some scattered traces of evil, backward-looping noises. Danna also (probably inadvertently) forges an under-explored link between New Age and the easy-listening style once referred to as "Beautiful Music." Oddly, the most intriguing elements are the reverberant Mantovani-style strings, none of which is Danna's own creation. He instead takes them directly from old and uncredited archival library recordings. Still, there are some interesting moments, as heavenly and sentimental moods fuse with the dark and foreboding. Included are two songs by crooner Malcolm Vaughan and a brief a-capella rendition of "My Special Angel" by the film's star, Bob Hoskins (!). --Joseph Lanza

CD Reviews

"Heart of a Child meets the Soul of a Monster"

J. Lovins | Missouri-USA | 03/08/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Dark and brooding this score is very different with a sense of the past that keeps flashing before the characters in this film by Atom Egoyan. From the liner notes Egoyan writes..."Mantovani, Strauss and Bartok, throw in some traditional Irish instrumentations, as well as the piercing sound of a military sare, and it's safe to say that this is the most adventurous soundtrack that Mychael Danna has ever composed for one of my films"."In Felicia's Journey, the Heart of a Child meets the Soul of a Monster. As he explores a spectrum of tonalities and textures, Mychael makes the journey shockingly gentle and reassuringly violent. Nothing is what it seems. Listen and you'll hear what I mean."The liner notes in Gaelic is very original with english translation provided. This group of artists and musicians, especially soprano Kate Crossan set the Celtic pace for this soundtrack. Malcom Vaughan sings THE HEART OF A CHILD and MY SPECIAL ANGEL is simply warm and beautiful. The closing track MY SPECIAL ANGEL performed by Bob Hoskins is very touching.Total Time: 44:50 on 15 Tracks/ Milan Records - 7 3138 35896 2 (1999)"
