Product description

Glory chronicles the struggle of black soldiers in the Civil War. It's a tense uplifting melodramatic film as is James Horner's original score. ~ Stephen Thomas ErlewineAll music written by James Horner.James

Amazon.com

Director Ed Zwick's stirring, tragic Civil War epic inspires a gorgeous, deeply moving score from James Horner, who mirrors the story's bitter ironies and ultimate outcome through a main theme and recurring motifs that emphasize the elegiac over the conventionally heroic. While martial drums inevitably rustle beneath Horner's autumnal charts, the somber main theme, when stated by the Harlem Boys Choir, is at once beautiful and heartbreaking, telegraphing the fate of the story's regiment of African-American volunteers in the Union Army. The climactic battle scene, itself a marvel of cinematic impressionism, elicits a more urgent, insistent Latin theme reminiscent of Carl Orff, and just as dramatic. --Sam Sutherland

    Love this CD! GLORY soundtrack takes one right into the film. The haunting voices, drums and orchestral strings bring the serious story of the first black group of 6000 men fighting in the American Civil War to the forefront of the fight for equality in America.

    5.0 out of 5 stars If you need a soundtrack to play when you want to feel inspired to do your best...this could be it right here
    Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2017

    James Horner was as close as we had these days to an old-style "classical" composer, writing powerful music and themes for major movies, like "Braveheart," "Apollo 13," "Titanic," and "Star Trek II." His music perfectly matched the mood and tone of the movies he wrote for.

    The "Glory" soundtrack does the same, with the voices of the Harlem Boys Chorus. From the opening bars of the Union Army preparing for the Battle of Antietam to the ending elegy over the Augustus Saint-Gaudens sculpture of the 54th marching to its fate, Horner's music is the backdrop and emotional strength behind every scene. We feel the sense of build-up as the troops prepare for battle...the pain and agony of Denzel Washington as he is whipped (thus earning his Oscar)...the despair of the regiment as it is consigned to menial road-building duties...the drive of its young men as they charge across Battery Wagner in their doomed assault...it is a powerful soundtrack, a perfect background for efforts to unify, to lead, to drive, and to achieve.

    If you need a soundtrack to play when you want to feel inspired to do your best...this could be it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I Should Have Gotten This Years Ago!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2015

    Very enjoyable! I can't believe that I waited all these years to pick up a copy of this score. I've been a James Horner fan for years (think The Rocketeer, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Titanic, Enemy at the Gates, Avatar), but of late his new works have been growing fewer and farther between.

    I am well aware of the frequent accusations that Horner's new works sound like his older works, I agree and have personally identified many instances where this has been the case (I understand why it irritates people, but to me, I always have fun identifying which previous works it sounds like--he's done so much fine work that it doesn't bother me when he recycles). Quite a few times I've heard someone say "this part sounds like Glory" or something to that effect; I've never watched the movie, and didn't look into this score until just recently, when I decided to pick up a copy. I am very glad that I did. This is one of Horner's finest soundtracks and became an instant favorite for me.

    I LOVED THE MOVIE AND HOPE THAT IT BECOMES A STANDARD FOR PEOPLE INTERESTED IN THE HORRIFIC CHAPTER IN AMERICAN HISTORY. I ONLY WISH THE CD INCLUDED THE PRAYER SONG DONE BY THE SOLDIERS JUST BEFORE THE CLIMATIC BATTLE AT FT WAGNER. IT IS AN INSPIRING CHANT. JUST BEAR IN MIND WHEN HEARING THIS MUSIC IT IS ACTUALLY BASED ON THE HISTORIC FIRST NEGRO REGIMENT FOR THE ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC.....

    5.0 out of 5 stars Emotions from the Civil War
    Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2010

    Who can forget the single tear falling on Denzel's cheek, or the brave men of the 54th marching to their death? You can't if you listen to the soundtract. James Horner knows just when to use the violin during the heart wrenching beating of a runaway enlisted man who just wanted some shoes and in the same score when to use the power of the "kettle" drums and brass to musically illustrate determination, fear and bravery all at the same time while charging the enemy's bunker. The power of music can both highlight the actions in a movie while watching it and bring back every scene to memory when just listening to the soundtrack. I am so glad that the talent of James Horner has found its way to the movie screen.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Precursor to the more titanic writing.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2011

    Horner's soundtrack to Glory is moving, inspirational and an incredibly orchestrated piece of work. The beauty of Horner's work, is his ability to find context for the instrumentation he writes for. And here, you also begin to hear signature orchestration leading up to the work he did for the film Titanic. Regardless, the use of the Boys Choir is haunting and melodic. The snares remind us of the time period and in the end, all of this film's glory.
