The Diverse Score of Carl Davis

By:	Twopop
Date:	8 Apr 2008
Rating:

The French Lieutenant’s Woman (1981) is a story within a story – with a span of a hundred years or so, so it’s no surprise that Carl Davis’ beautiful and interesting score is diverse.

A film is being made of a story, set in 19th century England, about Charles, a biologist who's engaged to be married, but who falls in love with outcast Sarah, whose melancholy makes her leave him after a short, but passionate affair. Anna and Mike, who play the characters of Sarah and Charles, go, during the shooting of the film, through a relationship that runs parallel to that of their characters.

Most of the score is full, symphonic beautiful and brooding music, very much what you would expect of a 19th century period movie. But several tracks for the present day scenes are original disco, dance, or synth cues:

03-Period Research
07-Location Lunch
09-Domestic Scene
12-End Of School Party

These four were arranged by Brian Gascoigne.

In addition, Track 11-A House In Windmere is actually "Adagio" from Mozart's Piano Sonata in D, K576.
