hey noozguru, I listened to the Sunshine adagio again. My music education is
very limited but I think I caught the piano at 2:02. Yes, it's beautiful. But
what was the instrument that came in around 48 sec? And what was making the
obvious and rapid beat at 2:48? It didn't sound like any drum that I'm familiar
with but that's a small group anyway!
I like to write words to melodies like this, attempting to match the feeling
tone of the melody with the verbal tone of the words.
I'll have to check if our public library has Sunshine. Thanks for rec.
Well, I've had issues with soundtracks a few times. For example, the official
soundtrack of Horse Whisperer is not as good, imo, as is the music right off
the movie itself.

The Adagio is a very simple but beautiful piece. It reminds me of the works
of Ralph Vaughn Williams. I get a kick though where the piano comes in because
it reminds me of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'". Murphy is self taught but I
think I read somewhere that his wife is classically trained. Hard to say how
his works come together because according to a neighbor who moved back from
Hollywood some of these composers write sketches and a staff of orchestrators
(of which he was one) create the scores.
There was a funny burp about the "Sunshine" score because a CD
wasn't available on the films according to licensing snafus. Lots
of people love the Adagio though and wanted a copy. The Adagio is
also often used on trailers for films where the actual score
hasn't been finished yet. Here is his web site. I also note the
pictures of recording a score at the Bastyr University Chapel in
Seattle where I played in U of W symphony concerts when it was
still a church chapel in the 1960s. There are several mixes of the
Adagio on his site to listen to.

"Sunshine" is a VERY spiritual film and I have it on Bluray. Of
course Danny Boyle is no slacker as a film maker either.
