Summary: One of James Horner's more epic works
Comment: What I love most about the film "Braveheart" is not only the battle scenes, but the music as well. I personally believe that this score is far grander than "Titanic" and "Troy". The musical themes are so varied and creative, that the score really shines here, though the themes do get a bit tiresome when it gets closer to the end. The Scottish bagpipes make it all the more memorable ("A Gift of a Thistle" and "Main Title") and the brass and percussion for the battle sequences give more tension ("The Battle of Stirling" and "Falkirk"). "The Secret Wedding" and "For the Love of a Princess" have the perfect romantic feel. "The Princess pleads for Wallace's Life" is lyrical and sounds very otherworldly. "End Credits" isn't really special, but the rest of the soundtrack is. Horner has done a wonderful job with Mel Gibson's "Braveheart".

Summary: Mr. Horner's greatest achievement..
Comment: This is THE best of Mr. Horner's score! He captured the heart and soul of the film and what the film was about. It was not a usual epic film score. It was a score written and based upon the heart of William Wallace and the courage of the Scots. There was not a track I didn't like. Every minute of it is just enrapturing and even addictive.
Even if you don't like Mr. Horner, this score can be enjoyed. It is so original and inspirational. You MUST own this music!

Editorial Reviews:

A 1996 Academy Award nominee for Best Dramatic Score, Braveheart is one of composer James (Titanic) Horner's most accomplished works. Utilizing the full range of the London Symphony Orchestra, the Choristers of Westminster Abbey, and a small ensemble of traditional folk instrumentalists, Horner largely eschews the bombast typical of the genre and cuts a more emotionally complex--and satisfying--musical course through this 14th-century tale of betrayal and rebellion. This album presents ample evidence of why Horner is currently at the peak of his profession. --Jerry McCulley
