In later cues the composer introduces alto sax on a number of the cues, these performances are fleeting but make an impact helping to create a sound that is pleasing. Track number three ELEGY FOR CHARLOTTE is a cue that is a surprise and also a delight, the composer utilising the distinct vocal talents of Miriam Stockley, in a very similar fashion to that of Morricone and other composers from Italy when they employed the unique aural talents of Edda Dell Orso within their scores. The second cue, FOREVER AUTUMN is also very much in the same vein as cue number 1, but it give prominence to the strings as they give the central theme of the score a thorough work out. Piano solo with understated strings begin the cue, these are soon joined by solo oboe, the string section then becomes more prominent taking on Yared’s romantic and highly lyrical theme. CHARLOTTE AND WILL as it is entitled could be the work of Morricone it has that almost forlorn, solitary but romantic sound to it. The compact disc opens with 4 vocals all of which are used effectively within the movie, track 5 is the beginning of the original score proper, and Yared immediately grabs the attention of the listener with a graceful and subtle tone poem performed on piano which is supported and enhanced by strings. Gabriel Yared has penned a poignant and delicately touching soundtrack for this production from 2000. This is a score that has been around for a while, from a film that did not do that well at the box office in spite of being a tear jerker and starring Richard Gere and Winona Ryder.
