Just a quick musing today. Caught a glimpse of the soundtrack for the Wicker Man today, and it reminded me of how worth buying it is, and how worth watching the film is. Part of what makes the film so unique effective is the soundtrack. Paul Giovanni took charge of the composition, arrangement and compilation of the soundtrack, which comprises middle-English folk songs, Robert Burns ballads, nursery rhymes and original compositions. It's a textbook example of how to successfully ignore the textbook when it comes to writing a film score. At points, it can make a drive in the car feel sinister. I would advise against playing it in the car if you're driving through some unfamiliar countryside - you will be scared.
The wonderful Corn Rigs and the mighty, climactic Sumer Is A-Cumen In are two highlights, but don't limit yourself to these.
Oh, some comments and followers would be greatly appreciated. It's nice to know you're being recieved. ;)
