Carl DavisAbout
Carl Davis was commissioned to write the score - at over five hours in length, it was to be the longest in cinema history. The release here is an abridged version. Kevin Brownlow, responsible for restoring and bringing a revival of the film, said it was the finest score he had ever heard for a film, it not only fitted precisely the action and mood of every sequence, it enhanced the emotional quality of the film. ‘Exalting’, is the only word to describe the effect. The critics were equally enthusiastic. ‘This is the cinematic wonder of the age’ said the Times, ‘and Carl Davis’ score provides a perfect accompaniment - subtle but grandiloquent.’
The score is a mixture of existing music arrangements of traditional material and new composition. During his research into the Hollywood series, Carl Davis discovered that this method was the way the composers for silent film worked. This score is his tribute to them.
