Music reviews of The 10th Kingdom - TV Score

Music Review: A Simple Yet Enchanting Orchestration
Rating: 4 Stars

"The 10th Kingdom" was an epic fantasy/modern fairy tale hybrid of a TV miniseries. At nearly seven hours in length, the soundtrack to such an ambitious project could have been any number of things, from epic and sweeping to campy and childish. The score to "The 10th Kingdom" is neither of these things; instead, it is a somewhat simplistic, pleasant orchestration that contains a little of both and manages to capture the story to great effect.

The theme song is featured as the closing track, and this was the song that many purchased this soundtrack for -- "Wishing on a Star" was a haunting, magical tune that Miriam Stockley's soaring vocals gave great power (it aided "The 10th Kingdom" in capturing an Emmy for Best Opening Sequence). Ms. Stockley was thankfully used in many instances as the vocalist on the rest of the score and she was never wasted.

There are simplistic tracks that are still emotive, such as "The 4 Who Saved the 9 Kingdoms" and "Addicted to Magic," as well as fun tracks such as "Troll Trouble" and the lovely harps featured in "Kissing Town." There are haunted, creepy themes such as "Nothing Escapes the Huntsman" or "Gypsy Incantation."

Anne Dudley's true strength as a composer, however, truly shines on the songs that dealt with Snow White, her wicked witch of a stepmother, or the current Evil Queen. Orchestrations such as "The Stepmother's Curse" and "The House of White" enthrall the senses with their sweeping themes; "Blood on the Snow" is suitably haunting, and the magic mirror themes ("Travelling Mirror") shimmer in emotive capability.

While the score to "The 10th Kingdom" might not have entirely reached the epic heights to which its rich source material ascended, it is a worthy addition to anyone's musical library and manages to enchant the listener with both the simple and the complex, the magical and the mundane, the sweeping and the pleasant.
