sua_layMusical musings about Harry Gregson-William's score for the Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
Dear sir,
While I liked your first score, the one made for the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, I was uncomfortably reminded by your other scores (namely the one for Kingdom of Heaven, which I also adore). Now it seems you have taken the first Narnia score, expanded it a little, and recycled even more of your KoH themes (mostly the Battle of Kerak theme), and turned it into a very nice but hardly surprising soundtrack.
Not that other composers have 100% new ideas for their scores, but even people with really noticeable styles manage to surprise the audience every now and then. To be quite honest, this was really boring.
More original stuff next time, k?
Thnxbai,
