Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

Ennio Morricone's Academy Award-nominated score captures the conflict between 18th-century Jesuit missionaries trying to convert the native Indians, and the slavers who want to destroy them. In keeping with the serious subject matter and epic scope of Roland Joffe's film, the score is by turns grave, lyrical, and tense. Ever inventive, Morricone mixes liturgical chorales, native drumming, and Spanish-influenced guitars, often in the very same track, to capture the drama of the culture clash. His trademark lyricism also comes through, notably in the beautiful themes for "Gabriel's Oboe" and "The Mission". Not as over-the-top as his well-known spaghetti western scores, The Mission shows Morricone at his dramatic best. --Heidi MacDonald

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting Soundtrack, Feb 11 2004
By 
rodboomboom (Dearborn, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Mission (Audio CD)
Certainly the music made this movie spectacular, gracing and moving one as the eyes were privy to the spectacular cinematography.

Morricone's compostion here is fluent with three distinct musical tributaries which play so well with the plotline: oboe, tribal, and religious.

How about the beauty of "Gabriel's Oboe?" Simply magnificent!
The earthiness of the tribal drums and windflute are simply captivating.

The religious chanting and other inspirational sounds are fitting and well done.

All this superbly performed by London Philharmonic Orchestra and choirs of London Voices and Barnett Schools Choir.

This review is from: The Mission (Audio CD)
I have loved this CD for about as long as it's been available--about 15 years. Some tracks are so uplifting, and all are wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars The music that touches your soul, Jan 8 2004
This review is from: The Mission (Audio CD)
This soundtrack was given to me as a gift. I had never seen the movie previously but when i started playing it the music just flowed around me and i honestly started tearing! No music has ever touched me like this has. It is so dear to my heart that i actually used Gabriel's Oboe for my processional when i got married. I highly recommend this music to anyone. It will move you.
