TREVOR MORRIS - The Borgias (2011) (tv) (CD)

After Delerue and Illaramendi, Trevor Morris is the third composer to write for the BORGIAS universe. Check out the opening from the series, containing his music which will be soon released by Varese Sarabande (see info below). 

Original Television Soundtrack

THE BORGIAS

Music Composed by

TREVOR MORRIS

(The Tudors)

Oscar®-winning actor Jeremy Irons stars in the epic drama series as Rodrigo Borgia, the cunning, manipulative patriarch of the Borgia family who ascends to the highest circles of power in Renaissance-era Italy. The series is created and executive produced by Oscar®-winning director Neil Jordan (The Crying Game), who is directing the first two episodes.

THE BORGIAS is a complex, unvarnished portrait of one of history's most intriguing and infamous dynastic families. The series begins as Rodrigo schemes his way into the position of Pope, causing him, his two Machiavellian sons Cesare and Juan, and his scandalously beautiful daughter Lucrezia, to become the most powerful and influential family of the Italian Renaissance.

Composer Trevor Morris, fresh from four seasons on The Tudors, weaves a thrilling sonic tapestry for another notorious European family.

THE BORGIAS premieres Sunday, April 3rd with a special 2-hour pilot, only on SHOWTIME®.

ALEXANDRE DESPLAT - La Fille Du Puisatier (2011) (cd)

Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

LA FILLE DU PUISATIER

Music Composed by

Alexandre Desplat

(Twilight: New Moon, The King’s Speech, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows)

One afternoon while cutting across the field to take lunch to her father, Patricia meets Jacques.  She is 18 and pretty, with the manners of a young lady; he is 26, a fighter pilot and handsome.  A bit of moonlight holds sway over their second meeting.  There won’t be a third — Jacques is sent to the front.

Patricia finds herself pregnant, and the boy’s rich parents cry blackmail.  Patricia and her father, the well-digger, are the only ones to welcome the infant with joy — a joy that Jacques’ parents soon begin to envy and want to share because Jacques is reported missing …

Academy Award nominee Alexandre Desplat (The King’s Speech, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Queen) provides a beautifully pastoral score.  The CD also features Enrico Caruso’s performance of the song, “Core ‘Ngrato,” used so prominently in the film.

La Fille Du Puisatier opens in France on April 27.
