His Narnia work is just unparalleled by any other score. Zookeepers Wife is the closest second to the magic of bringing a world through music and elevating a movie, and thats his score too lol. He's just the best at what he does. Other composers make catchy themes, HGW makes every piece in his score memorable and addicting.
I love how “The Blitz, 1940” sounds like an airplane and “Evacuating London” actually sounds like a train. He did such an amazing job on the score! All of the Narnia music by Harry Gregson Williams is so beautiful.
You are so on point with this one, Ashton! Harry Gregson-Williams is by far my favorite composer! Alongside with Narnia I also put right up there his score on Prince of Persia which is my favorite of his works! Thanks for presenting this!
The score for Spy Game evokes so many different emotions which not only connects viscerally but complements the pictorial narrative, elevating the visual experience. A harmonious blend of cutting-edge technology with thousand-year-old instruments. One of the best scores ever composed.
Ashton, I very much enjoy your unique channel and very much agree with you on Harry’s Chronicles of Narnia TLTWandTW music. Some how and I don’t know how he did it but he flawlessly created the Narnian connection. The feels you get when you listen to every part of the soundtrack...it makes me cry all the time.
Ashton, I know you are busy, but could you do a video on aspects of sound design? Maybe aspects of how Hans does it as well as other film composers and how you handle it? I think sound design adds such equal importance in creating worlds for our audiences to enter.
Absolutely agree Ashton, Narnia has such a unique voice brilliant soundtrack.The opening with jet plane sound used in bass! Martian is ok also but at times sounds like Zimmer, not that original but in the film is excellent.
Glad I found this channel, a home for all us film score lovers to nerd out to. My "Watch Later" list has gained 50lbs due to the content I've added from your channel. Would love to her your take on Michael Kamen, although somewhat repetitive in regards to themes, he makes some gorgeous, luscious music in my opinion, especially in his Lethal Weapon scores.
Harry is a heck of a nice guy. Although he's from "The School of Zimmer" (at least in part) he's his own man with his own voice and style. Unlike a growing number of today's film composers, he actually reads and writes music.
