Editorial Reviews

Original score to the 2010 motion picture, composed by Randy Edelman. Amy Adams and Matthew Goode star in Leap Year, a romantic comedy that follows one woman's determined quest to get married to the perfect guy...despite what fate has in store for her. When their four-year anniversary passes without a marriage proposal, Anna (Amy Adams) decides to take matters into her own hands. Investing in an Irish tradition that allows women to propose to men on February 29th, Anna decides to follow her boyfriend Jeremy (Adam Scott) to Dublin and get down on one knee herself. But airplanes, weather and fate leave Anna stranded on the other side of Ireland, and she must enlist the help of handsome and surly Declan (Matthew Goode) to get her across the country. As Anna and Declan bicker across the Emerald Isle, they discover that the road to love can take you to very unexpected places.

I saw the movie and loved the music and songs. I ordered this Cd just last week and it was 13.99, now its 12.99. It is all instrumentals, no vocals in it. I am very dissappointed they did not include the vocal songs. Its nice, but I would not recommend buying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful romantic soundtrack for film score fans, February 7, 2010

Randy Edelman is an interesting composer who doesn't seem to get any big projects despite his talents. Just as his score for The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was a rousing orchestral score, he has created another wonderful score for Leap Year. I was actually going to skip this after I heard the samples online because for some reason they sampled the strange slow celtic pieces. However, this score has a lot of tracks and for the sake of completion I think it was a good choice to include all the score, even the tracks that aren't my kind of music.

The meat of this score is in beautiful romantic melodies, many of which give me the chills. There is a heavy use of strings, woodwinds, and acoustic guitar along with the occasional Celtic instruments and a few bluegrass tracks. If you like beautiful film scores that you can listen to while you relax and read a good book, you should give this one a try. Randy Edelman has done it again.

I fell in love with this movie, and I enjoyed both the score so I was happy to see this CD being released. It's a beautiful score, one that I can put on while working or reading to relax to. For those concerned about it not being as expected -- the listing shows a composer, and the picture of the album cover says "music composed and conducted by," which indicates that the CD is a score CD, not a compilation. If you like film scores, I'd recommend this one.
