Music reviews of John Adams

Music Review: Great soundtrack for a great movie
Rating: 5 Stars

Great soundtrack for a great movie. It really gives one the sense of being transported back to an earlier time in our history. The tracks are a miix of songs with an American colonial-era undertone and more modern dramatic music. It is generally softer and more relaxing than a lot of movie soundtracks, so you can listen to it while you're working or reading a book. Be sure to check out the movieJohn Adams [Blu-ray] - it's a great historical drama.

Description of John Adams

Starring Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney, executive produced by Playtone's Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, and directed by Emmy?-winner Tom Hooper, JOHN ADAMS is a seven-part epic miniseries event that explores American history through the eyes of one of the greatest of the founding fathers, John Adams (Giamatti), a fiercely independent spirit whose unwavering vision steered America through a tumultuous period.

Based on David McCullough's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, the miniseries is produced for HBO Films by Playtone.


HBO's lavish, sprawling John Adams epic was given vital emotional wallop by the soundtrack. Two composers created music which was needed to convey the fervor of a newly emerging nation, and the quiet moments of a proud man who lived a long life shot through with sadness--losing his first a child, and then later, in his twilight years, his beloved wife Abigail. The orchestral sweep is clearly of the Twentieth Century, undulating like American landscapes. However both Rob Lane and Joseph Vitarelli are adept at drawing on our shared cultural sensibilities. They evoke the period of the Revolutionary War without stilted mannerisms. While the script, actors and the director portray history, the soundtrack resonates emotionally with the modern world. --David Greenberger
