I was fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time, and got the 40 some-odd minute promo for Elfman's music. I can't get enough of it. THIS IS A WONDERFUL SCORE. Think: Edward Scissorhands mixed the melancholy of Sommersby, and a dash of Tchaikovksy's Nutcracker Suite (and even *ever-so-slightly* Home Alone, at parts). But even when comparing it to that, it still falls somewhere between "wow" and "this is Danny in top form!" on the AWESOME-METER.The choral work in the score is tremendously effective in the music itself. I can't comment on its function in the film, though I find myself preferring this listening experience separate of the images the film. It's too beautiful. And even better, it doesn't get tiresome. It's the type of score that starts out incredibly... and only goes up from there. The last 3 tracks are to die for.
I'm can't say enough good things. If you can find a cd-r of this promo, get it. Don't hesitate for a second. You will NOT be disappointed. I can't believe people aren't talking about this one.
