Average Rating: Rating: - Beautiful "The Hours" tells the story of three women in three different time periods -- 1923, 1951, and 2001. Their stories are interwoven exquisitely, and arch together in a profound, moving fashion. It is the best film of 2002. The score, composed by Philip Glass, tells the story of that story in such a beautiful way that, without it, the film would be a lesser entity, devoid of part of its essence. This is like listening to a symphony, in 14 Movements. Having seen the film, this score will have quite a bit of meaning to you, but even if you haven't seen the movie, the score will should still resonate. It could easily be a stand-alone classical music piece. The tracks all have a similar sound, but yet, are uniquely different. This is a sad score, for it is a (mostly) sad film. Track 3, titled "Something She Has To Do", is probably my favorite. So somber, so moving. Philip Glass has received an Oscar nomination for his score for "The Hours". It is well-deserved. His use of strings and piano are excellent. His ability to capture the feeling of the film is top notch. I can't recommend this score, or the movie it was written for, enough. The booklet which accompanies this music is quite comprehensive, featuring an introduction by Michael Cunningham, author of "The Hours", and then a description of the three women in each of the time periods covered in the movie. As a remembrance of the movie, or as a piece of music all its own, the score to "The Hours" is a sumptuous aural experience that should be treasured for the great achievement that it is. Rating: - Another Philip Glass work of musical genius I watched the movie "The Hours" and knew I had to have the soundtrack. The music is hauntingly beautiful. Mesmerising in many spots. Michael Riesman's piano crescendos contributed greatly to the movie's characters' moments of emotional distress and enhanced the dialogue spoken between actors. I cannot remember when I have been so entranced by a movie soundtrack. I have played it many times already and am so drawn into the music. I close my eyes and can recall the scenes when each track of music was played. A thrilling work of art. I highly recommend this CD and wish Mr. Glass an Oscar for his brilliance. Rating: - question does anyone know the music that is in the newest trailer? it's not the phillip glass music...it's something choral. thanks tons!
