A lovely little score by the alway under-rated/appreciated Richard Band. Central theme is quite nice. A very soothing listen.
Thanks Intrada for continuing to release scores by him.

INTRADA Announces: DRAGONWORLD Music Composed and Conducted by RICHARD BAND INTRADA Signature Edition 1048 Dragonworld had something that I had been looking for for quite a while—an opportunity to write some very emotional and melodic music. I loved the fact that I would get to write music for an array of emotions which included sadness, loss, innocence, adventure, family and wonder. I couldn’t wait to get started! -- Richard Band When composer Richard Band was approached to compose the music for the 1994 film Dragonworld, he had already left scoring sci-fi and horror films for a few years and was looking forward to stretch his wings. The family fantasy Dragonworld was exactly what he was looking for and he was so inspired that the score seemed to flow effortlessly from his pen. Athough he initially had a limited budget, he fought for as many live musicians as he could and the resultant score benefited from a string section, woodwinds and some brass as well as the instruments needed for the Celtic jigs. Director Ted Nicolaou said, "In the case of Dragonworld we needed a simple Celtic melody that could serve as the emotional foundation for the story. Richard skillfully transformed those simple melodic ideas into an ever-expanding musical tapestry for the film, lyrical as the landscapes, warm as the embrace of loved ones, with notes of grand adventure and breathtaking awe for our dragon." The film tells the story of five-year-old Johnny McGowan, who arrives in Scotland to live with his eccentric grandfather Angus, and the last thing he expects to find is a lifetime of adventure. But these are the Highlands -- an enchanted land of ancient castles and misty moors -- and when the lonely boy wishes he “has a friend,” a big-hearted baby dragon named Yowler waddles from the woods and into Johnny’s arms!

This is really quite nice, typically synth-y for Mr Band, but in that way that we like. Ordered! |
