And this afternoon whilst slaving away at the computer, True Women has
been playing REPEATEDLY behind me.
I haven't listened to this score in a while, so I decided to give it
another spin before I retire for the evening. And it truly is a
pleasant score. The one word you didn't use in describing this music
is 'haunting.' The use of the woodwinds for the Indian characters is
truly sublime. This deeply probing and gentle score is definitely a
top ten winner.
How can you NOT listen to good things for a while? This score leap
frogs over its usual cliched sounds. I agree, it has some very
haunting moments, some very sweeping moments, some from poignant
moments. It's main theme is not predicable. So often your mind can
finish a tune that a composer begins... but this theme moves around
the expected into a different direction. There seems something
melodic and ear catching in every cue... not just music as filler...
but music as furthering the story through its emotional push. All
with just a hint of something special that exists between "cowboy"
sound and "Americana" sound. It has easily become my favorite
Broughton effort. And I use to, ages ago, just adore The Boy Who
Could Fly (as well as the over-long film... whatever DID happend to
the beautiful Lucy Deakins?).
