Ominous choruses mix with swashbuckling action, the eerie strings of the Dark Lord wisping about like fog as exotically Oriental music casts its spell. Where HALLOWS, set up of numerous deaths, might promise a black cloud of symphonic moroseness, Desplat’s approach here is thankfully light on its broomstick, and no less thrilling for it. Now Desplat enters Hogwarts with an inimitably lush score that could be described as being more Williams than Williams, while more than retaining Desplat’s own thematically rich voice that has made him Hollywood’s most in-demand French musical import since the days of such Master melodicists as Maurice Jarre and Georges Delerue. No stranger to gracing such fantastical sagas, Desplat has mixed the emotions of age and fantasy with BIRTH and THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON, not to mention brought in the symphonic thunder in the supernatural battles of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON and THE GOLDEN COMPASS. Yet in a film that truly thrusts its once cherubic leads screaming into the “real” world, the one thing about HALLOWS,where everything new is old again, rests in its terrific score by Alexandre Desplat. © 2010 Alexandre Desplat | Composer Alexandre Desplat
