4.0 out of 5 stars Gentle, lovely little score from Debney..., October 19, 2005

This review is from: Dreamer [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] (Audio CD)

This album is, perhaps, exactly what you'd expect it to be, but it's nonetheless enjoyable. It borrows pages not only from familiar horse-related scores from Thomas Newman ("The Horse Whisperer") and Danny Elfman ("Black Beauty"), but also from such James Horner efforts as "Bicentennial Man" and "Legends of the Fall". The main theme actually sounds quite similar to Alan Silvestri's "Cast Away". The music is well-crafted, and maintains a peaceful, gentle, lullaby-like tone throughout, with the exception of a few exuberant orchestral bursts and some acoustic guitar work that's quite spunky. Adding quite a bit to the proceedings is acclaimed violinist Joshua Bell, who sadly isn't featured as much as his should be. If my comments sound just a tad negative, perhaps it's because this score is so often so derivative. But on it's own, as a listening experience, it's beautiful, gentle, and soothing, and I would absolutely recommend it for the casual film score fan looking for a break from the usual bombast. The only real detractor is the somewhat annoying teen-pop song tacked on at the end, it breaks up the musical flow of things. This score represents a solid effort from Debney, who continues to mature and improve, and a winner of a score, especially for fans of the gentler work of Horner and T. Newman.

This delightful soundtrack brings the listener back to a more peaceful, easy feeling(Thank you Eagles). Perfect to listen to after a hard days work, or in my case to listen to while at work at my home based business. Usually, I'll purchase a soundtrack, be disappointed and rarely listen to it again. In the case of "Dreamer," I can listen to it over and over again and no matter how hectic things may be, I feel at peace with the world.
