The orchestral parts are superb, but there is something particularly stirring about the use of the boys choir. Namely at the emotionally-charged climax, when we are confronted with the harsh results of their failed plans. The simple, innocent voices contrasting against that imagery is startling.
I'm not an ascribed fan of James Horner, but I do love a good soundtrack, and this one -- as far as I'm concerned -- ranks up with "Star Wars" and "Gladiator".
My money was not wasted. "Glory" is one of the few scores that evokes so much emotion that your spine literally tingles. Whenever I listen to the music, I can't help but remember the bravery of the regiment in in the final battle, and the heartbreak of seeing the mass-burial at the end. Horner has outdone himself with this album, as has also done with "The Rocketeer" and "Legends of the Fall."
And that's coming from a die-hard John Williams fan!
