Willow Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Expanded by James Horner. CD1.
Willow is a 1988 American dark fantasy adventure film directed by Ron Howard and scripted by Bob Dolman, story by George Lucas who also executive produces, with Val Kilmer and Warwick Davis sharing majority of the screen time with Joanne Whalley, Billy Barty, Jean Marsh all nearby.
James Horner took inspiration from rousing action and swordplay as well as fantastic special effects made by ILM, including landmark early use of digital morphing technology, a CGI breakthrough. Horner showcases his energetic youthful big-orchestra vernacular on one hand while balancing with his newly-maturing severe, intense musical vocabulary, resulting in incredibly wide-ranging score. Richly drawn main theme anchors, makes key appearances, shares time with exhilarating theme for Madmartigan, takes back seat to ferocious sequences, then ultimately brings score home. Besides colorful array of material, score is also notable for several lengthy cues, amongst the longest of the composer’s career.
Willow (titulada Willow en la tierra del encanto en Hispanoamérica) es una película británico-estadounidense de alta fantasía estrenada en 1988 y dirigida por Ron Howard. Fue producida por George Lucas y se basa en una historia ideada por él mismo. Sus protagonistas son Warwick Davis, Val Kilmer, Joanne Whalley, Jean Marsh y Billy Barty.
James Horner se inspiró en la acción apasionante y el manejo de la espada, así como en los fantásticos efectos especiales creados por ILM, incluido el uso inicial histórico de la tecnología de transformación digital, un avance CGI. Horner exhibe su vernáculo de gran orquesta joven y enérgico por un lado mientras se equilibra con su vocabulario musical severo e intenso de reciente maduración, lo que da como resultado una partitura increíblemente amplia. Presenta el tema principal ricamente dibujado, hace apariciones clave, comparte tiempo con el emocionante tema de Madmartigan, se queda atrás con secuencias feroces y, finalmente, lleva la partitura a casa. Además de la colorida variedad de material, la partitura también se destaca por varias pistas largas, entre las más largas de la carrera del compositor.
Front cover art by John Alvin. Score recorded in January & February 1988 at Abbey Road Studios.
London Symphony Orchestra orchestrated by Greig McRitchie.
Composed and Conducted by James Horner.
