Sommersby - 08/10 - Review of Andreas Lindahl, submitted at
Before listening to the score for Sommersby I didn't think that Danny Elfman could write sweeping romantic and epic music. After listening to it, though, I know he can. And he is really good at it too.

Elfman sets the tone of the score in the "Main Titles" track, which presents a dramatic and beautiful sweeping theme, performed primarily by strings and trumpet, but with softer guest appearances by the guitar. The score then goes on much in the same style, i.e melodic music with epic orchestrations, with frequent setbacks to the main theme. It's very enjoyable listening to, and very calming.

There are, though, a couple of tracks that differ from the rest of the score. "Welcoming", for instance, is a lively cue, perhaps a little folk music inspired, with somewhat harsh strings, that gets softer at the end, but still a little dramatic, along with a tender guitar. "At Work" is also very folk music sounding, with whistle, banjo, guitar, percussion and those harsh strings.

Highlights are the "Main Title" and the two last cues, "Finale" and "End Credits", with their wonderful renditions of the main theme. All in all a very impressive score from Elfman, and we can only hope that he gets more of these "mature" scoring assignments in the future.
