CD REVIEW - We Are Marshall
We Are Marshall
Music by Christophe Beck
Varese Sarabande 302 066 779 2 (US) VSD 6779 (EU)
20 Tracks 54:38 mins
The film tells the true story of the tragic 1970s plane crash that killed most of Marshall University's football team and the survivors' attempts to rebuild the team and take it to triumphant heights.
Christophe Beck rises to the challenge with a sensitive, proud and ultimately triumphant score, with a noble main theme, commencing with an elegiac trumpet intro; some light, tender romance; some suitably sad and sensitive material; and some downright exciting action scoring, sometimes featuring a large battery of percussion, at others utilising full orchestra with a martial beat; all building to a moving and triumphant finale.
This is yet another fine addition to the list of great sporting scores written over the years.
