The album Family Plot by John Williams is a masterpiece of orchestral music. The composer's ability to create a musical narrative that reflects the emotions and themes of the film is astounding. Each track is a beautifully crafted piece of music that stands on its own, but when combined with the visuals of the film, it becomes an immersive experience.
The album starts with the main theme, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. It is a haunting melody that is both ominous and beautiful. The use of strings and woodwinds creates a sense of tension that builds throughout the track. The other tracks on the album are equally impressive, with each one adding to the overall narrative of the film.
The use of different instruments throughout the album is impressive. The composer uses everything from strings and woodwinds to brass and percussion to create a rich and complex sound. The music is both dramatic and emotional, with moments of quiet reflection and explosive action.
Oh *well*.....
As for the music - yes, soppy, but I think the intention is to go for the comic tone of Coward's "Blithe Spirit". Why try for Hermann anyway? Risky. Choices are choices. If one listens to 'Images', parts of "None But the Brave" and 'The Fury', Williams is fully capable of creepier, chillier score.
