5.0 out of 5 stars Courage Under Horner, December 13, 2006

"Courage Under Fire" is another excellent work by James Horner. When 'Hymn' opens the CD, you can tell you are in front of a great score; it's very touching and it best conveys what the two main characters in this movie are going through. There is also great action music, especially in 'Al Bathra/Main Title' and 'Monfriez's Suicide', with Horner's signature use of percussion, as well as intense thrilling moments as heard in 'Night Mutiny'.
This album is so good I virtually listen to it twice in one single playback. It almost passes as a guilty pleasure, but this is one fine work by James Horner that can be considered a classic.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Solemn Tribute to Fallen Soldier, January 18, 2003

The score is a fitting tribute, almost like a hymn, to the fallen soldier. If you like the soundtracks for "Saving Private Ryan" or "Band of Brothers", you would also like this one. It's kind of melachonly, but not melodramatic, and it transpire the sound of heroism of those who make the supreme sacrifice in the brutality of war.
