Editorial Reviews

The hallmark of a Hallmark Hall of Fame production is its emphasis on the emotions and inner turmoil of the human character. THE LOST CHILD is no exception, telling the true story of a Native American woman who discovers unconditional love, a nurturing spiritual heritage, and her father's affirmation. It vividly displays the power and strength of a loving, emotionally, and spiritually connected family.

Mark McKenzie composed a melodic score that was both pastoral and emotional, providing THE LOST CHILD with a score that perfectly underlies the human drama. As director Karen Arthur describes it, "Mark’s score is epic yet intimate, surrounding and supporting the vistas as it infuses the characters and the story with deep emotion. Lush, lyrical and intensely human...it is timeless." The score includes numerous solos for harp, cello, piano, classical guitar, flute, oboe, and clarinet, often backed with underlying muted strings.

Mark McKenzie recently scored Hallmark's acclaimed DURANGO as well as the sequel score to DRAGONHEART.

This review is from: The Lost Child (Audio CD)

The Lost Child is a true story of a Native American woman who discovers unconditional love, a nurturing spiritual heritage, and a father's affirmation. The story powerfully conveys the strength that comes from a loving, emotionally and spiritually connected family. Mckenzies score is melodic, pastoral, emotional and beautiful music to support the drama of The Lost Child. There are numerous solos with harp, cello, piano, classical guitar, flute, oboe, and clarinet; often with underlying muted strings. The Indian ethnic music is subtle, yet present in the wood flute playing the mother's weaving theme (track #7).
It is just one many scores by the composer that echo the same beautiful music. Mckenzie writes from his heart and doesn't miss with every cue with his music on this warm, lovely piece. It is a score I have listened to many times and am always emotionally affected by it in a positive way. Highly recommended.
