"At the heart of every story is a sound - something so deep that is resonates like a pressure in your chest. It is this feeling that the film composer seeks to make heard; not merely to underscore the chases, clinches, climaxes, or to smooth over the directional inadequacies of soft cuts and shaky transitions, but to give voice to an inner life - it's soul, if such a thing can be said of film."
-Ed Zwick, director of Legends of The Fall
-film score by James Horner
