Music reviews of The Prince Of Egypt: Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Music Review: Fav Movie, Fav Soundtrack
Rating: 5 Stars
The Prince of Egypt is, as shown above, my FAVORITE movie. I knew I would love the soundtrack, and what better place to find old stuff at an amazingly cheap price than Amazon.com. This movie and soundtrack came out when I was only three, but I have come to love both so much it hurts. So I thought I'd write a review of the soundtrack (the movie is too awesome to be described in words). My most favorite tracks on the soundtrack are the following: Tracks 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 12, 14, 15, 19. (Yes, it's a lot.)
Track 1; The Prince of Egypt (When You Believe) by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston: A lot of people when discussing this track diss it and say that it wasn't good. Yes, the original from the movie was MUCH better, but I love this one too. It's a really close second. I love Whitney's voice. I like Mariah's as well. I'll admit, the bridge replacing the Hebrew part in the original is awkward, but it's okay. I like to play this song loud on my iPod, especially the ending after the bridge. It's beautiful.
Track 2; Deliver Us by Ofra Haza and Eden Riegel: This song is great. I love the beginning with the male choir and how their voices set the mood of toiling slaves. The Hebrew in Yochebed's (I have no idea how to spell her name) part is beautiful and I especially like how she draws out the Deliver us the two times she says it. This is another song I blast on my iPod. I like singing along to it (even though I can't sing so well.)
Track 3; The Reprimand: This is my second favorite musical score on this soudtrack. I like the way the music intensifies and softens. My favorite part is the part that plays during the movie when Ramses and Moses enter the banquet. I even dance to it! And it's only one of the beautiful scores on the track. The others I won't mention, except for my favorite, but they are all beautiful and an essence to the movie.
Track 5: All I Ever Wanted (with Queen's Reprise) by Amick Byram and Linda Dee Shayne: This is a song I listen to all the time. I love it. Though short, I get a lot out of it. My most favorite part of that song is Amick Byram's part towards the end: "I am a sovereign prince of Egypt/ A son of the proud history that's shown/ Etched on ev'ry wall". It's the only place in the movie save one where it mentions the phrase "Prince of Egypt" (the other time is when Moses comes back to Ramses and Ramses pardons him for killing the Egyptian overseer) and that's only ONE of the reasons I like it.
Track 9; Playing With the Big Boys by Steve Martin and Martin Short: I like this song, and my mother does too. I like the repeating of the gods' names at the beginning of the song, though if I listen to it at night, chills run through me. (Go figure) There's not a lot to say about this song, but it's essential to the movie.
Track 12; The Plagues by Ralph Fiennes and Amick Byram: This song is the BOMB!! Whenever I hear this song on my iPod, I turn up the speakers loud!! Something about it, it's just beautiful. One thing the song reminds me of is, of course, the plagues and the fact that my God did all of this for real!! It enhances how amazing and powerful my God is, and I love the song for capturing that. Even though Ralph Fiennes can't really sing (He is ALL out of breath at the end, though I don't pick it up while watching the movie), it's an amzing song.
Track 14; When You Believe by Michelle Pfeiffer and Sally Dworsky: I like this version from the movie the best. I like the way the women blend their voices together and make a glorious harmony. The Hebrew children's part is my absolute favorite. It's so lively and whenever I hear it on my iPod and I'm out in public, I always think of the fact that no one else knows about this little party going on in my ears. It's great.
Track 15; Red Sea: Of all the songs on this soundtrack, Red Sea is the best by FAR. Oh, my gosh. It would be totally hard to find music to go with this majestic scene of the parting of the Red Sea, but somehow, Hans Zimmer did it. How, I don't understand. The music totally captures the essence of the miracle God worked. I always turn this song up LOUD on my iPod because it makes it even better, and I always think of the fact that THAT REALLY HAPPENED. GOD REALLY PARTED THE RED SEA. MY GOD!!! He is amazing, this song is amazing, and I will be listening to it when I'm eighty-nine. Loud, too. Enough said.
The songs following Track 15 weren't on the movie. I HATED the version of Through Heaven's Eyes and River Lullaby thrown on at the end. They had no idea how awful they were. I listened to them once and didn't put them on my iPod. I will never listen to them again.
Humanity is not one of my favorites, but it is a nice song. It had a little something to do with the movie, if you kinda listen to the lyrics. About how everyone is part of one race, Humanity. In the movie, Pharaoh dismissed the killing of the Hebrew baby boys because "they were only slaves", which horrified Moses apparently. This song somewhat addresses that.
Track 19; I Will Get There (A Cappella) by Boyz II Men: I love this song. Some people say they hate the "pop songs" at the end, and I, as shown above, agree with the most part, but I love this one. It has everything to do with the movie. It talks about, apparently, getting there. Crossing that river. I will get there somehow. If you think about it, it's kind of like a continuance of the story, because the story didn't end there. The Israelites were still headed to the Promised Land. Although only two people actually made it to the Promised Land, the song captures what must have been the Israelites mood at that time in their story. (Their mood, sadly, drastically changed.)
So there you have it. My view of the Prince of Egypt soundtrack. If you are considering buying this CD, I encourage you to buy it. You will be greatly blessed and you will be listening for years, I guarantee it. I know I will.

Description of The Prince Of Egypt: Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
CDIt should be little surprise that of the three Prince of Egypt CDs, this one, which contains music actually used in the picture, is the best. The disc features songs written by Academy Award winners Stephen Schwartz and Hans Zimmer. It also showcases the always impressive vocal talents of Ofra Haza on several tracks. The disc also crams in a few singles--ranging from the solid Boyz II Men track "I Will Get There" to the average "The Prince of Egypt (When You Believe)" by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey to the dismal "Through Heaven's Eyes," by K-Ci & JoJo. But ultimately, Haza steals the show on tracks like "Cry" and the gorgeous "Deliver Us," performed with Eden Riegel. Other standouts include "Playing with the Big Boys," by Steve Martin and Martin Short, and a pleasant, if not unexpected, vocal by Michelle Pfeiffer on "When You Believe." --Aaron Tassano
