For Greater Glory: The True Story of Cristiada - 10/10 - Critique de John Mansell, ajouté le (Anglais)


For a long time now I have always had the opinion that James Horner had reached his peak in composing and creating original sounding themes and melodies. In fact I have gone as far as to give some of his scores negative reviews in the past saying that they were repetitive and also sounded like many other soundtracks that he has produced. FOR THE GREATER GLORY, is for me a breath of fresh air, or maybe it is simply a return to the James Horner I knew and loved from a few years ago, this score has a richness an inventiveness and an emotion to it that I have not heard in Horner,s work since the days of KRULL, LEGENDS OF THE FALL, or WILLOW and although it contains many of the usual Horner musical trademarks i.e. growling brass, strident and fully emotive strings underlined by various percussive elements, on this occasion the composer does not wear them out or over use them. He instead utilizes them and interweaves them with romantic and patriotic themes that tug at the heart strings and at times make the hairs on your arms stand up. Horner’s music is expansive and lush for most of the score but he also creates some fine Mexican sounding compositions which can be fully appreciated in track 3, WE’RE CRISTEROS NOW, which is overflowing with strumming guitars, choir, brass and wistful almost tumultuous sounding strings. The opening track on the compact disc sets the musical scene perfectly, ENTRE LA LUZ Y EL PECADO, begins with a lone church bell which chimes maybe twice before we hear the emotive and distinct vocals of Clara Sanabras, which I can only describe as being perfectly haunting and in many ways for me personally evoke the sound of Portuguese vocalist Dolce Pontus who many collectors might know via her work with Ennio Morricone. I say that Sanabras,s vocals are distinct but in reality I think that they are quite simply stunning and beautiful and get straight to the listeners soul. Horner underlines the vocal performance with strings which are both sensitive and dark in their sound. The mood of the composition seems to meander between light and dark, sombre and romantic as the theme builds and the string section reach a crescendo of sorts which adds so much emotion to the piece, this atmosphere alters again and the sound achieved becomes darker and a little more sinister, Horner introducing percussion and brass and then from nowhere a choir is heard briefly adding a flicker of light to the gloom and interrupting all but for a while the brooding and menacing atmosphere that is being created.

Track number 2,THE DEATH OF PADRE CHRISTOPHER, is one of those lengthy Horner cues and runs for just over ten minutes, but it is filled to the brim with a plethora of Horner musical inventions as the composer brings together choir, solo female voice and almost every section of the orchestra together in a riveting and highly affecting composition. Again Clara Sanabras seems to steal the show with her haunting vocals towards the end of the cue, but Horner’s trademark brass in the form of growling stabs and also faraway sounding horns combined with expansive strings, plaintive woodwinds and martial timpani also make their mark. I have to say that this is probably the best James Horner score I have heard in a long while, and as I have said although it does contain many of Horner’s now stock sounds it is a work that is lavish and extremely emotional and one that I would recommend to everyone.
What price would you pay for freedom? In the exhilarating action epic FOR GREATER GLORY an impassioned group of men and women each make the decision to risk it all for family, faith and the very future of their country, as the film's adventure unfolds against the long-hidden, true story of the 1920s Cristero War — the daring people’s revolt that rocked 20th Century North America.
Academy Award® nominee Andy Garcia headlines an acclaimed cast as General Gorostieta, the retired military man who at first thinks he has nothing personal at stake as he and his wife (Golden Globe nominee Eva
Longoria) watch Mexico fall into a violent civil war. The stellar multinational cast includes the legendary Peter O’Toole, rapidly rising star Oscar Isaac (Drive), recording star and actor Ruben Blades (Safe House), Bruce Greenwood (Star Trek, Super 8), Nestor Carbonell (The Dark Knight Rises), Bruce McGill (Lincoln), Santiago Cabrera (Heroes, Che), Oscar®-nominated Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full Of Grace) and Eduardo Verástegui (Bella).

Oscar®-winning composer James Horner provides a thrilling, expansive score for 100-piece orchestra and choir.
