Editorial Reviews

Director Edward Zwick's 1989 tale of the first company of black soldiers in the Union Army during the Civil War captured America's abiding fascination with that great struggle. However, its most unsung player was composer James Horner, who created one of his most grand and memorable scores. So memorable, in fact, that some of its rich cures have been recycled by other filmmakers and Horner himself. More than any other single work, it's Glory that's responsible for Horner's remarkable rise to the top of his profession in the '90s. --Jerry McCulley

Director Ed Zwick's stirring, tragic Civil War epic inspires a gorgeous, deeply moving score from James Horner, who mirrors the story's bitter ironies and ultimate outcome through a main theme and recurring motifs that emphasize the elegiac over the conventionally heroic. While martial drums inevitably rustle beneath Horner's autumnal charts, the somber main theme, when stated by the Harlem Boys Choir, is at once beautiful and heartbreaking, telegraphing the fate of the story's regiment of African-American volunteers in the Union Army. The climactic battle scene, itself a marvel of cinematic impressionism, elicits a more urgent, insistent Latin theme reminiscent of Carl Orff, and just as dramatic. --Sam Sutherland

Powerful Music.......2007-03-22

A fine music score for this great movie. The flow and sync with the movie was outstanding. James Horner is quite a composer.

One of the Greatest Scores Ever Written.......2007-03-12

I first discovered James Horner's work when he wrote the score for "Titanic", and I've followed his career since, buying every James Horner score I could find that was released prior to "Titanic". This one is among my absolute all-time FAVORITE James Horner scores. The depiction of the Civil War is never lost, and its choral melody is both gorgeous and heart-wrenching. Every true James Horner fan NEEDS to have "Glory" in their collection. If you don't buy it, you are REALLY missing out.

Other Must-Have James Horner scores: Titanic, Field of Dreams

Glory Sound track.......2007-02-22

A oscar award wining sound track, what else is there to say.

This is the greatest film score by James Horner.......2006-09-26

This has been my favorite score since I started collecting movie music more than a decade ago. The piercing vocals, beautiful themes, and inspiring music recalls the excellent moments of the film for me every time. I may be a bit biased because I love the film so much, but anyone will find this score rewarding. Of special interest are the last four tracks. The first of those is the most beautiful rendition of the theme on the album and ends with some great percussion stuff. The second is the music played while they charge fort wagner. It's a paraphrase of the most famous music from Carmina Burana and ends very similiarly (which is to say, it ends wonderfully). The penultimate track is a mournful, heart-breaking rendition of the theme sung by the boys choir of harlem. It starts in unison and breaks into gorgeous harmony. The final track is wonderful--it introduces a new theme for the credits and restates the major themes again in a powerful way. I enjoy this album more every time I hear it.

Glory, A Truly Glorious Soundtrack.......2006-09-25

This is James Horner's first soundtrack that brought him to fame. He went on to compose heart stirring themes in Braveheart and Titanic, but in my opinion, Glory is Horner's best.

The main theme is rousing, first starting with some light flutes then builds up into a beautiful harmony of strings, cellos, and drums. This main theme most prominantly found in "Preparing for Battle" and "A Call to Arms" has been recycled and been the subject to many variations of Horner's later scores and even by other "rival" composers. Another theme which sounds quite like the one in Glory is the main theme in Braveheart.

Horner has composed a truly magnificant score that invokes emotion from the listener; he brings the tension and the caranage back in "Charging Fort Wagner" and the majestic main theme most dominant as the African Americans muster and make ready for battle in "Preparing for Battle." Horner's use of the choir (I think more specifically the Boys Choir of Harlem) adds an African American soul to the score.

This score, in my opinion, oudoes Horner's later scores for Titanic and Braveheart.

Horner has crafted a true musical masterpiece with this score. Listen to it and prepare to be brought back to the Civil War and marching amongst African American soldiers as they assault Fort Wagner.

opening titles music?.......2006-02-08

Hi.

Does anyone know what is the music from the opening titles of the movie?It is before the song Omiya starts.It is not included in the CD and i'd like to know the title.

Great Indian Mystery, well-done.......2005-07-16

This is a very nice album for esoteric enthusiasts to add to their Indian mix.

I love Indian Music.......2005-07-05

I love the movie Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love. Indira Varhma and Sarita Chowdery are very, very beautiful women. And the music in the movie was hott! Especially the song at Princess Tara's wedding where everyone is dancing and Maya is serving the guests in her beautiful red sari. It had a cool beat and I felt like dancing, Indian style!

Kama Sutra = Beautiful Movie, Beautiful Music.......2005-06-27

Love the movie...cinematography is wonderful, a truely beautiful movie, everything is a feast for the eyes. The soundtrack is just as good, perfect blend of exotic music that can be enjoyed lounging around or even bellydanced to.

The songs are sensual, calming, meditative and spiritual. If you appreciate different cultures, this album is for you. Whenever i play this album i turn all the lights out, and light candles, burn incense and meditate. I highly recommend this album with monsoon wedding soundtrack. Everyone i know loves this album. Get it.

Yes, it's true that 90% of the time Broadway fans will want the original Broadway cast recording over any other version, and 95% of the time the full recording will beat any set of "highlights." But this collection of songs from the Rent movie may defy both trends. Rentheads surely have the two-disc Broadway version already, and this well-selected 65 minutes may satisfy their desire to have performances from the movie as well (and the movie has less music than the show anyway). On the other end of the spectrum, people who enjoyed the movie but don't feel the compulsion to own every note of what they heard might well be pleased with a single disc of highlights. Pick it up and live La Vie Boheme all over again. --David Horiuchi

Album Description

One of the longest-running shows in the history of Broadway, and one of its most beloved, Rent was the winner of the Pulizer Price for Drama and four Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Based on Puccini's classic opera "La Boheme," Jonathan Larson's revolutionary rock opera tells the story of a group of bohemians struggling for success and acceptance while enduring the obstacles of poverty, illness and the AIDS epidemic in New York's gritty East Village. Now the powerful musical marks its tenth year on stage by coming to the big screen, acompanied by RENT Highlights From the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Amazing CD.......2007-02-17

This is the perfect CD for those who love the music from the film, or even the Broadway show. I just bought this CD because I am new to "RENT". I first saw the movie 2 weeks ago and I am completely hooked!! I am also addicted to this CD, I listen to it atleast once a day (if not more)!! This is perfect for any "RENT" fans out there!!

~*LaUrA*~

We're Not Gonna Pay Rent!.......2006-06-11

I loved Rent, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend the money for the full version of the soundtrack. Highlights from Rent was PERFECT! It has all the main songs from the movie I was looking for, and that was important to me. I play this soundtrack constantly, from beginning to end, singing along the whole way. Every song on her deserves to be on here - it's amazing.

Amazing CD!.......2006-04-19

I got Rent the CD for my birthday, and I looked and I thought it did not have my favorite song on there:No Day But Today well I was exploring the Rent website, and I found out that it was NOT called No Day But Today, it was called Finale B I was so happy and I listen to it over and over and over and over again without me getting sick of it! Great CD totally recommended ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Best Songs On The CD Are:

*********Finale B*************(The Best)
Seasons Of Love
Light My Candle
Tango:Maureen
Out Tonight
One Song Glory
La Vie Boheme

Good Compialition.......2006-03-29

This is truly a highlights cd, with the only dissapointment, to me, being that the song "Another Day," is not included. But the rest of my favorites Without You, Rent, Tango Maureen, and, of course, La Vie Boheme, make this a great cd for any Broadway lover.

Was very very impressed with special features.......2006-03-24

An original "Rent Head", I saw this movie at the cinemas and was less than impressed with the finished product. I found that on watching the DVD I have since completely changed my opinion. The CD is fantabubulous - I love IT!. It is all the wonderful music from the movie and if I gush anymore it will come across as very very ridiculous! Just buy it - its great!

It is an absolute must for anybody who fell in love with the musical!

What can i say, that soundtrack was almost as good as "mallrats", the movie is really good. tho i had trouble finding i had trouble finding it, i actually found the dvd at wall-mart.

The sum of all my fears............2003-03-08

.......great soundtrack for sure...this is a generation x movie led by Ben Affleck....I liked the movie though...he looked so funny with his NOFX albums and posters all over the room,and gibberishing some Bouncing Souls song....all that is great l..the only bad thing was that sorry movie...the sum of all fears....where he acted totally wrong....being a slave of the country instead of making fun of it like all good punkers....nice album anyway...

Hey Music Fan in Chicago.......2000-09-22

I'm in Chicago too. Glory Daze is one of the greatest "Gen X" movies ever made because it comes closest to truthfully portraying people of that age-group. Anyhow, the song by Mudhoney, "Acetone" is on the album Piece Of Cake.

Question.............2000-03-22

The song at the end of the movie was called "Acetone" and i cannot find it ANYWHERE....it's by Mudhoney....does anyone know where i can find it?? If so, please email me at BENZ007@aol.com Thanks Alot!

This extremely well arcitechtured soundtrack is an excellent exibition of the Talents contained on it.The cd is a nice mix of a variation of different styles of music and it really turned me on to a different Variation of punk. It is a fitting soundtrack for my favorite movie.

I meant to buy the soundtrack and we picked up the score instead not reading the package and didn't know there were two different CDs... Not only were we pleasently surprised -- it is the best driving music ever... It's smooth and enjoyable... So, for a party -- the Soundtrack with Funk is down -- but just to relax -- pick up the score.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!.......1999-10-05

This is an awsome score. Each time a muppet cd comes out, I never have time to buy it. Whenever I go to the store to buy it, it's out of print. KEEP THIS ONE IN PRINT FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY.

Amazon.com

Director Carlos Avila's film about Latino prizefighter Arturo Ortega (Jimmy Smits) may bring greater attention to the Latino boxing tradition, but he doesn't shortchange the music. Mainstays such as Los Lobos and the Texas Tornados (who perform a Cajun/Tex-Mex version of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire") are obvious essentials. Thankfully, the soundtrack doesn't stop there and assembles notable groups performing Spanish rock with as many variations as Baskin Robbins has flavors. The first thing you'll notice is how today's bands aren't concerned with the rules of any particular genre. Spanish guitar will underline a hip-hop groove, while flat-out punk rock, ska, and salsa join to create new forms. Puerto Rico's Puya--known to emulate Brian Eno surfing with a heavy-metal band--blend a lilting Caribbean sway with a hip-hop beat. California youngsters via Mexico, Patilla harness punk rock espanol-style. King Chango go ska. The music is anything but predictable. --Rob O'Connor

Customer Reviews:

it gets yah moving.......2000-08-27

I really liked this soundtrack. It is more than a sountrack rather a great sampling of latin talent. The music has soul which ties into the theme of the movie. I am able to relive the movie through the music. Also it helps me to workout during my kickboxing. So this tape may not be around along and i suggest if you like music that will move yah to get this tape.

Best New Music Anywhere.......2000-04-08

While many soundtrack recordings have to be appreciated within the context of their film, this CD stands on its own. There are so many great songs, covering such a wide variety of styles, as to defy categorization. The Ozomatli, Los Lobos, King Chango, and El Gran Silencio tracks are the best of a great collection.

It's the best CD I've heard in years.

It Doesn't Get any Better Than This..........2000-04-08

While watching "Price of Glory", you get a hint of the quality and variety of the soundtrack music, but the film doesn't really prepare you for just how good each song is. A few tracks can be loosely categorized, (either "rock en espanol", or Latinoid rap), but most are just so fresh and original as to defy any common label. Every number on this CD will have you either smiling, dancing, or singing along.

The bottom line is unequivocal: It's the best CD I've heard in years.
