| Ennio Morricone - Days of Heaven (1978) This was a very unique Terence Malick picture, which goes the same for Ennio Morricone's score. His score has a very special place in this visual and emotional strange world. You can't get ahold of the characters, you haven't got a clue why they make certain decisions, how they behave. Morricone adds a very atmospheric and dream-like mood to sequences that are in fact very easy and clear, like something concrete. The music always starts slow, to occasionally swell into a great agressive attitude. Abby is awaiting the death of the farmer she married in order to live wealthier with Bill. And so tension builds. On each cue used in the film, the music starts slow and climax towards an aggressive attitude as these characters gets so much distressed and aggravated by him not dying. The composer gained another Golden Globe nominee for this score and truly deserved more recognition, as well as Hans Zimmer on The Thin Red Line. |

| James Horner - The New World (2005) Malick's latest flick kept us waiting much shorter than expected after a gigantic leap in between Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line. For a long time the composers attached to The New World was kept a mystery. Eventually James Horner was hired for the score. That seemed very interesting and it was. For this film Horner, like Zimmer, wrote hours of music, that got changed for the film, drastically changed. As sort of expected using earlier own composed material again was present, but also much less than regularly. Thunderheart seemed inevitable, while only The Spitfire Grill shined through. The emotions are typical for a Mallick filmscre; much melody, many dreamy cues and very emotional, and in good symbiosis with the visuals. But Horner had to change his thematic works, though his love theme remained, as well as one of most intimate sounding music in his life. Much music is lost and replaced by parts of Wagner's Das Rheingold, as well as a concerto by Mozart. The score release is whole other experience than the alterned Horner music in the film. Also part of Fransesco Lupin's Cosmic Beam (featured in TTRL) seems to be mixed with Water Bearer, Ancient Voices, Ritual 1 and Spiral Journey by Carlos Nakai. As far as Horner's work, one of his best ever. |
