Album introduction:

Based on the novel of the same name by Canadian writer Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient describes the love story of a Hungarian nobleman and his ideal woman in World War II with the Sahara Desert in North Africa as the background. This film, which consists of desert, plane, map, war, murals and Hungarian folk songs, is known as "soft as oil painting", and its music is always filled with vicissitudes, bitterness and amorous feelings, as if telling people the helplessness and pain of love. Music can be said to have played a very important role in this film. The length of 28 segments of 75 minutes makes the film full of music rhythm. At the same time, he won Oscar, Academy of Performing Arts Award and Golden Globe Award for best score.

The soundtrack of the film "The English Patient" is the famous French film soundtrack master gabriel yared, who once became famous in the world music world by virtue of "The Wild Rose in Paris". His music with personal style and regional characteristics, coupled with the established music works carefully selected by director Minguela, gives the audience the impression that this album tries to tell people another story of World War II with music. Friends who are familiar with gabriel yared's music may know that his music always pays attention to atmosphere. In terms of expression, he likes to combine oboe and clarinet solo with flowing strings to reflect a kind of "lonely beauty", which we can have a more obvious feeling through the theme song of the film. From the music in the soundtrack album of The English Patient, it is not difficult to find that gabriel yared divided his music style into baroque music with retro flavor and Arabic music showing North African customs according to the characteristics of the times and geographical environment of the film. According to the author, this arrangement is in line with the director's wishes. There is a specially selected Bach's "goldberg variations" called "Aria" in the album, which was specially played by Julie Steinberg, a famous performer from Northern California, for Hana, a female nurse played by Juliette Binoche in the film. From this piece of music, we can also feel the feeling of loneliness that Hana wants to express. The choice of music is integrated into the Baroque movement created by Jared, which is directed at people's hearts and has a tearful effect.

In addition to the baroque music with retro colors mentioned above, another highlight of the album is the selection of Hungarian traditional folk songs. At the beginning of the soundtrack, you can immediately hear an ethereal and beautiful female solo, which is a Hungarian folk song "Love, Love" sung by Marta, a female singer who enjoys the reputation of "Hungarian National Treasure", and her band Muzkas. According to the film director anthony minghella, when he was writing the script, he specially listened to the songs performed by this representative group in the Hungarian folk revival movement, and greatly appreciated the special voice of the lead singer Marta from the depths of his soul. He believes that the song "Love, Love" plays a key role in the film and the original album. As the dramatist Catherine said, this song sounds like a ballad in the Arab region at first glance. In fact, this song that often reminds you of the vast African desert is actually an authentic Hungarian folk song. Such a peculiar effect is exactly the same as the surprise that "The English Patient" in the film originally brought to the audience by Hungarians. That's great! Speaking of this, it reminds me of a sentence said by the director: "The English Patient likes to write articles about the nationality of characters, and I think music can also play some tricks on the region, sometimes it will work wonders."

As a love epic soundtrack album comparable to doctor zhivago, The English Patient not only moved to Baroque and Arabic in overall musical style, but also adapted many songs with the characteristics of the times, including episodes deeply interpreted by senior jazz artists Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman, Fred Astaire and The Shepherd's Hotel. Although these songs often appear intermittently in movies, the music sketches of these times make fans unconsciously indulge in the background at that time and find it difficult to extricate themselves. Minguela and Jared are obviously interested in the so-called movie soundtrack album pieced together by many commercial songs today. The two film score awards are also well deserved.

As we all know, compared with the grandeur of American film soundtrack, European film soundtrack has always been academic. What they emphasize is to see the big from the small, that is, to express the characters' hearts with simple and simple melodies and to express dynamic scenes with static music. This sometimes gives people a dull feeling, but it is also worth chewing for a long time. Gabriel yared said: "The theme song of The English Patient could have been as touching as Schindler's List, but its theme was not as impressive as the latter. Although everyone thinks that the music in this album is very consistent with the content of the movie, I always feel that something is missing. Due to the limitation of repertoire, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, who has always been good at playing baroque music, did not perform as well as they did in The Biography of Mozart. But anyway, I am very satisfied with the arrangement of pianist john constable and music songs. " Excerpt from crying angel
