GREAT EXPECTATIONS (1998) - Patrick Doyle - Soundtrack Score Suite
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 кві 2011
- About once a year a score is produced and released on CD that is so potent, so filled with wonderful experiences in emotion that writing a review for it is a breeze and a joy! GREAT EXPECTATIONS is that score for 1998. This is by far one of PATRICK DOYLE'S best scores. It is one of his most unique. For GREAT EXPECTATIONS Doyle employs a number of techniques and styles that are compelling, fitting for their respective scenes, as well as highly entertaining as stand-alone music. The score reflects the directors and producers vision for the film adaptation of the classic story. It is the classical experienced and seen through contemporary eyes. In the case of the score it is classical heard experienced through contemporary ears and enhanced by contemporary styles.
The opening track helps set this score a part from most every other score for 1998. Here Doyle utilizes a solo whistler and the voice talents of Tori Amos. Gently flowing behind them are softy playing by ever-swelling strings, chimes, and wind instruments. It helps to develop the setting of the youth and innocence of young Finn, the story's main character. This track could accompany the most lazy of puffy- cloud- filled- blue- sky days fit for laying in the grass and daydreaming. It is unassuming but poignant.
This score is filled with dramatic pieces that follow the typical Doyle-style found in HENRY V and THE LITTLE PRINCESS. At the same time there are a number of tracks that one would not easily imagine fitting on the same CD release. Somehow Doyle pulls it off and it makes for a great listen straight through the CD. From the previously mentioned dramatic/suspense pieces to the soft guitar, played classically by John Williams, Estella's Theme (4) to the contemporary-rhythmic pieces like Kissing in the Rain (8) to big band/jazz to the operatic I Saw No Shadow of Another Parting (7) to the spanish-guitared Besame Mucho (20) this score touches a gamut of textures and emotions as does its film.
The true genius of GREAT EXPECTATIONS is the synthesis of these varying styles into one collective experience that one truly never tires of having. Unfortunately, it's early release in 1998 all but insured it would be forgotten come award time, which is a true shame. The Titanic hoopla has swallowed up all concurrent releases. Given Patrick Doyle's recent health problems, it is all the more amazing the score he was able to write. There are a lot of healthy composers who can only dream of doing such magnificent work. Patrick Doyle is certainly deserving of, at least, a GG or Oscar nomination. If I were to put a CD together, I'd never dream of placing classical, jazz and contemporary dance material on the same CD and actually enjoy the listening experience. All credit to Doyle and the producers of this score release for attempting and pulling off the near-impossible.
A high recommendation of GREAT EXPECTATIONS would be an understatement. Of the few scores one might classify as the-only-one-you-have-on-a-deserted-island-type, this is surely one of them! Given its great variety yet strong unity, it makes for the perfect island companion...well, excluding certain companions of the female variety! Whatever one has to pay for this...it's worth it.

One of the best adaptations of the timeless classic - and one of the finest movie scores ever written, typically little known.
👏👏👏
FOR ME, ONE OF THE BEST SONDTRACK, AND MOVIE, EVER..
Best!!!!!
I always had great expectations.......some they came true,some not...but i followed my heart and did it my way......right or wrong,i lived..and i am still living........for a dream.....My greetings from Athens,Greece♥
Well said.
I literally lived this movie...going to art school, chasing a dream with a broken heart from it...till now..many years later only to realize that The Lord Only Was The True Love I should have been chasing....not my shattered dreams.
❤ I could not agree more
Words just can’t describe how this soundtrack moves me. I love art, cinema and theatre. This particular version has stuck with me since it was released.
If you have ever loved a person, for a long period of one’s life, you can have your heart broken in a way that stays with you, throughout the years. This soundtrack has been huge in my life throughout some odd occurrences and sad times, also good.
I was 12 years old when I saw the film. I fell in love with this movie and the soundtrack.
I’m so in love with this score. The entire movie, soundtrack, casting is perfect!
Ira pierwszy taniec
Best ever !!!!
GREAT MOVIE!! GREAT SOUNDTRACK!! GREAT ACTING!! GREAT ACTORS!! GREAT BOOK!!!
You forget one thing... GREAT PAINTINGS... when I watched the movie, I immediately fell in love with Francesco Clemente.. also the sketches that little Finn drew... yeah overall, this movie is a complete package...
p.s. I just reply your 10 year olds comment 😁
everything I do, I do it for you, anything that might be special in me is you!
no if you understand this, than you are special, no one can objectify you, you understand something sacred, in all shapes of reality and nature, you see the true form, that we are one, we are existing, and maybe sometime we match
God. That's the first thing that came into my head as I heard the music come on.
LOVE that scene! And the scenethat follows, when they finally make love!
(I Do Love the Way You Dance!

"I DO Love the Way You Dance! "
a music for dreaming, for spiritual growth, and to become who are you. This score is never mentionend in the top 70 scores and other Score hitlists. I would say it definitely should!
Absolutely love this movie and the soundtrack. Ethan Hawke is sadly under appreciated as an actor.
Absolutely right !!!
Exactly.
Yea, he's great
So do i
plays like a bitter sweet memory where you can't help but shed a tear
This is the soundtrack that I will walk down the aisle to. I want to make my wedding audience cry.
+Lilian Barrera Timeless.
the first song I ever understood love was this
when i was 7 when the film came out an all i could long is to hear that song
the same way pip longed for her
so much that I became a guitar player, I became, a musician, a song writer, a synth master, and then from no where she came, and I forgot how to love, and she showed me and I remembered this song, and played with her in my arms. and she understood. I remembered how to love again, I remembered my longing was too have this moment with her, and we leave and we come back together, and theres something was meant to be
eternamente bella
Evoking the deepest memories and making you face them, that's how I feel when I listen to this. It's stronger than nostalgia
I remember being blown away completely by this track the first time I heard it not long after the movie was out. OMG! I just had goosebumps listening to this again!
beautiful wonderful ☀ so many feelings without words there is wonder in us humans
This soundtrack is a diamond!
ESTA PILICULA ES FABULOSAMENTE ROMANTICA
Gracias Patrick Doyle por todos estos años en que me has estado haciendo soñar con estas bellezas de música.
Film inoubliable... musique troublante ... acteurs sublimes ... un si rare film émouvant.. ❤❤❤❤💔
Shivers, shivers everywhere. I can even put to words the emotions that this score gives me. Pure and utter musical masterpiece.
Have you finally been married yet? did you use Pat's soundtracks?
@@Vziera no honey, at this rate I’m going to die an old maid. Maybe I’ll play this song at my funeral instead.
@@bonitabarrera1101 Geez lol have some faith. I watched a video of yours and it looked like you are in Canada just like me. If you are then we can probably link up and see where it's gonna lead us ;P I'm in Kitchener btw.
Thankyou for posting this. I watched this movie last night for the first time since I was only a kid.
It gave me chills back then, but this time is was ten fold.
Can so relate to Finn's character, I had similar experiences with women as a young man.
Now I'm happily married with a baby daughter!
It's so bitter-sweet to look back and remember these feelings of longing.
recuerdo que vi esta pelicula cuando tenia tan solo 10 años y siempre recordare su musica como una de las mejores bandas sonoras que encajaba tanto con los sentimientos de las escenas que afloraban en mi como con los personajes. grandisima score
no podrías haberlo explicado mejor, siento lo mismo
Great soundtrack and movie.
One of the best movie i've ever watched. Probably because the music served so well the story line.
Yes. An outstanding movie... i hope someone had a similar door bell done from the mansion 😇
Timeless and greatest masterpiece
I saw it again today, my favorite movie ever. Great music to.
one of the best love movie I ever seen sound track and every thing bravo why they cant make movies like this any more

I was just trying to explain to my boyfriend how this was one of my favourite movies...and yes, I had the soundtrack and the score...so beautiful...
the music i waited for my whole life..
I loved this movie when it came out & the score. Esp during the 'kissing in the rain' scene.I bought the soundtrack & although I liked it, I wanted the score. Had to travel to another province to get it. Lovely!!
2021 la recuerdo como si fuera ayer una pelicula que de esas que te dejan marcado el corazon y el cerebro quien la ve la escucha en este 2021
Genius and healing music.. favorite movie as well!
I had completely forgotten how amazing this score is. Must watch the movie again. Thanks so much for posting.
absolutamente la mejor película de amor, la poética en sus imágenes, en su música en la interpretación de los personajes, es verde es protagonista principal y tiñe cada momento haciéndolos excepcionales
, personalmente no me canso nunca de verla y emocionarme cada vez que la veo o la recuerdo. automáticamente me proyecta en mi ser, en mis experiencias, en mi amor de una manera onírica e intangible y única. en mi alma en mi corazón tengo mi estela (TGI), ya no en mi presente, pero si en mi ser y la llevare conmigo siempre.
the first time he felt love, and searched and got to feel it. This song inspired a strange young boy on his journey, and when he found that true love, the song came back after years of resting in his forgotten mind.
es simplemente grandiosa y bella como estella
una y otra vez, la veo, la escucho y mi cabeza y mi corazón vuelven a sentir, la película es un disparador de emociones. es un juego de malabares donde en una mano tenes tu corazón y en la otra tu cerebro para soltarlos al aire y hacerlos volar. es una película de ayer de hoy de siempre. gracias CUARON POR TANTO.
Tal cual
So beautifully said
love this movie, and soundtrack for it made me the man i am today
It brings tears to my eyes the most emotional piece of music j have ever hear it brings chills down my spine !!!!
Hermosa película, la vi cuando tenía 15 años y me encantaba el actor 😍.
i love we all agree. the fluidity of this movie and music. like water. love this so much
A masterpiece
todo es especial, la película, la música :)
😢 so moving music, very beautiful movie which is lovely to watch but hard to understand why love needs time, hurt to gone sometimes and back
Genius! ................. simply....
2018 and still one of the greatest movie soundtracks
Nothing ever last forever and it seems heartbreak is enevitible and a lesson I wish no had to learn but we never truly break we banged up dented and bruised but never truly break don't ever give up on yourself like madam did
what a musical journey this Doyle's selection takes on. Great job!
I LOVE this and the movie was beautiful.great homage to the movie.
Bellissima! bellissimo film e bravi gli attori.L'amore è l'unico scopo per vivere!
new tune, but the original score from 1998 Great Expectations is a Classic, A Masterpiece !
L'amore è in questa musica e nel suo film e da allora sono innamorato dell'amore.
Maravillosa banda sonora, remueve el alma, al igual que la pelicula...
This goes out to all those who know.
4.44! Beautiful sequence.Gwyneth ..is she LOVELY? YES!
Hi, I just want to say, that this is probably the most beautiful video I have seen on youtube. The way it suits the score is outstanding. One of the rare ocasions when a fan made video has just as much feeling as the movie itself and this is achieved with simply one shot of the sun sinking in to the sea. I just wish it was of a better quality. Congratulations and good luck!
3 favs....book,movie,soundtrack ...unique, superb.
me encanta esta película! todo no me canso de verla muy buena la música! !!
A swollen sun melting in the horizon
Between those sheets where I wait for her to come
A burning flame impossible to resist
Burning me deep with every bite, kiss, and lick
Oh I'm Haunted
By her
Invades my sleep with tumescent intentions
Hades I'm sure must be missing a demon
Oh how I hate the morning
Light
Hades tambien sintio Lo mismo por Persefone
Quise evitar una historia como esta, ese dolor ..jamas imagine que al ver esta pelicula de muy joven iba a pasar por esto quise evitar
here after rewatching the movie after 18++ years
la pelicula grandes esperanza le dio inicio a mi vidad amoraza en esta pelicula comprendi lo que es amar
Must....not....cry!
Una de mis favoritas!
Filme lindo, atores excelentes e música maravilhosa!💟💟
Aún amo esta película y sountrack, me encanto desde la pimera vez que la vi como en el 2003 cuando tenía como 13 años
Adriana Calvillo yo la vi también en ese tiempo y de vez en cuando la vuelvo a ver . Cuando me siento solo entonces la veo sólo para ver que algo imposible como el amor entre ellos se hizo posible. Eso es lo que me gusta mucho de la película es una de las mejores que he visto hasta ahora 😊❤👌
Igual dude, todo estetiempo busque el soundtrack
Yo la vi con alrededor de 19-20 años. Justo después de k me rompieran el corazon en mil pedazos. Imagínate lo k sentí al verla. Eso sí, ahora con 40 años, no sería tan bueno como el. Reconozco k no podría volver a amarla. No porque no quiera, sino porque fue tan grande el dolor, k ya nunca podría. Es increíble cómo la persona k más quieres en el mundo, es la k más daño te hace. Así es el amor.
A Masterpiece!
i love this movie so much
BEAUTIFUL

You guys do realise that that sunset is proof the earth is flat lol. As I watch that sun reach the (flat)horizon it is very clear that it is just reaching the end of our perspective vision. It doesn't disappear behind any curve.
Love this soundtrack, good movie too!
Beautiful...
