Product Description
From Amazon.com
Martin Scorsese's sprawling meditation on the rise of street gangs in 19th-century New York (the roots of the modern mafia) also became another soundtrack buff's "What If?" after the director scrapped the original orchestral underscore of modern collaborator (Cape Fear, The Age of Innocence, Bringing Out the Dead)/veteran scoring legend Elmer Bernstein and replaced it with this typically rich, Robbie Robertson-supervised collection of eclectic pop, folk, and neo-classical tracks. The latter come courtesy of three brooding excerpts from film composer Howard Shore's previously unpremiered concert piece Brooklyn Heights, tracks that help emphasize the film's darker emotional gravitas. Much of the other catalog choices by Robertson and Scorsese lean on an evocative slate of Celtic and folk-tinged selections that range from hammered dulcimers, fiddles, and tin whistles to the spare, emotive balladry of Linda Thompson and Shu-De; even U2's main theme, "The Hands That Built America," is cast in a similar mold. But that Irish musical stew gets leavened by everything from the postmodern dirges of Peter Gabriel and Jocelyn Pook to a black field hand recording by legendary musicologist Alan Lomax and even the Chinese flavors of "Beijing Opera Suite." It's an imaginative, compelling mix, one that gratifyingly pushes the usually staid boundaries of what film scores can truly encompass. --Jerry McCulley
Chronique amazon.fr
Dans la lignée de Casino, qui inventait un nouveau genre de compilation en réunissant divers courants musicaux, dont Georges Delerue et Jean-Sébastien Bach, Martin Scorcese puise dans sa culture musicale pour confectionner à l'écart des conventions le disque de son film. Pour illustrer cette vaste fresque historique et romanesque qu'il porte en lui depuis trente ans, le réalisateur explore notamment diverses tendances de la musique irlandaise (Afro Celt Sound System, The Silver Leaf Quartet…), s'octroie un détour par l'Italie (Vittorio Schiboni) et la Chine (Da-Can Chen), sans oublier de se reposer sur les valeurs sûres que sont Peter Gabriel (le surprenant "Signal to Noise") et U2. La bande à Bono signe pour l'occasion une chanson originale qui fait office de thème principal (The Hands that Built America). Cet album hétéroclite s'octroie enfin une respiration poétique avec l'énigmatique Jocelyn Pook (Dyonisus), révélée par Eyes Wide Shut, et tourne autour du désormais célèbre Howard Shore, avec trois morceaux dissemblables qui portent le même titre (Brooklyn Heights). Une bande originale cosmopolite, à l'image du monde qu'elle évoque. --Jean-Christophe Arlon

whats that song?,
By
This review is from: Gangs Of New York (Audio CD)
Anybody know the simple celtic song played during the dance scene? Where Leo dances with Diaz? In case youre wondering, the song playing at the final battle, where Leo holds his weapon up in front of his gang is "Vows" by Jeff Johnson and Brian Dunning. Its on their album Bizantium. Great soundtrack. Way too many songs in the movie to include them all. So if you know the song im talking about, please email me at tyhe@comcast.netthanks!
