Trinity & Beyond

[James McWilliams]

I don't know if any of you people have heard this score (For a documentary about atomic bombs)...

(follow the link to the soundtrack cd if you want to buy it, there are a few example tracks too I believe).

I found it has some really enjoyable tracks, quite holst like, as a lot of documentary scores tend to be.

Not just documentaries, as I seem to remember that The Planets found its way into Gladiator quite often.

hmm for gladiator : hans zimmer i think used the same "syntax" just for 30 seconds in 2 tracks ( 16 tracks in total) but he said in an interview he thought more of stravinsky and viennese waltz than gustav holst, and anyway gladiator is really an enjoyable soundtrack (the sound of the orchestra in this soundtrack is totally new for me that's why i love hans zimmer works)

ps : and since Mars is the roman god of war, i think hans zimmer did a really good choice in using holst style

Yes, well he would say that, however I think that there is more than Holst "style" going on in the score [H]
