Robert Zemeckis created something of an "animated" holiday classic with "The Polar Express" and Alan Silvestri was right there with a great score and notable songs. With "Beowulf" Zemeckis has upped the ante with a visually stunning reworking of the epic saga of the hero Beowulf and again Silvestri has tagged along to provide music for a modern interpretation of an eighth century tale. What Silvestri has produced is also a modern interpretation but of the classic adventure score not without a few appreciative nods to the late Basil Poledouris and his magnificent score for "Conan the Barbarian" (and a little reminder of "Starship Troopers") along with a rather healthy echo of Silvestri's own fine music for "Van Helsing." But there are a couple of surprises as well. Songs play a significant part in the film and on the soundtrack as well they should since the original epic poem of Beowulf was sung after all. Two songs are performed on screen and the soundtrack by none other than Robin Wright-Penn including a vocal of the main theme, "A Hero Comes Home", and they are delightful. There is also another version of the song "A Hero Comes Home" in a pop version by Idina Menzel (of "Wicked" fame) for the end credits and it is also quite good. Of course this whole project was intended to be over the top, and it succeeds on this level as an adventure film and a first rate score. Silvestri opted for something a little less than a classical approach (Poledouris went the other way with "Conan" as did Jerry Goldsmith and his wonderful music for yet another version of the Beowulf tale, "Thirteenth Warrior"), but his choral-synthesizer main theme with thundering percussion seems just the right fit for this fanciful tale of Norsemen, storm tossed dragon ships, and epic battles with mythical monsters. A heroic score for a heroic saga, it is all a good deal of fun. The score is a good fit on the screen and a worthy soundtrack. Nicely produced and packaged by Warner.
Beowulf is a new 2007 version of a classic tale. The score is a big part of the film, and Alan Silvestri has put together a power blend of old and new. This soundtrack is bound to appeal to Beowulf fans and music enthusiasts alike.
The score is very well put together and complements the movie experience. There is a lot of driving heart pounding composition, almost operatic in nature. And there are also soft pensive songs. In any case, the music is very well appreciated in a theatre, or in the comfort of well equipped surround sound.
Silvestri draws well from his previous credits, such as "The Polar Express" and "Van Helsing." Yet the score and songs of this film stand on their own and evoke a time long past in a heart felt and powerful way.
The "Beowulf Main Title" starts the film with a driving energetic beat combined with a deep melody. This and other tracks work well to communicate the urgency of the battlefield and the sea.
Yet the surprising and gentle songs sung by Robin Wright-Penn, "Gently As She Goes" and "A Hero Comes Home," are going to please audiences. They provide a stark contrast to the beating operatic pieces. Silvestri uses these melodies in refashioned ways throughout the film to amazing effect. The result is a cohesive score with stand out tracks that will certainly be near the top of his career accomplishments.
A strong pop version of the song "A Hero Comes Home" is sung by Idina Menzel during the credits.
Overall, this score is a key part of a great movie.
Enjoy!!!
