- Glass was commissioned to write the score by Universal Studios Home Entertainment, which released the movie with the Glass-soundtrack on VHS and DVD in 1999. According to Glass, the choice of chamber music played by a string quartet rather than an orchestral score followed from the movie's setting, 'libraries and drawing rooms and gardens.'
Back Lot Music will release the official soundtrack album for M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass. The album features the film’s original music composed by West Dylan Thordson (Split, Joy, 3 Generations) who incorporated some of James Newton Howard’s themes from 2000’s Unbreakable Euro truck simulator 2 map booster download pc. into his score. The soundtrack will be released digitally next Friday, January 18 and is now available for pre-order on Amazon, where you can also check out audio samples. Glass is written and directed by Shyamalan and stars James McAvoy, Bruce Willis, Anya Taylor-Joy, Sarah Paulson, Samuel L. Jackson, Spencer Treat Clark and Charlayne Woodard. The comic book thriller will be released in theaters nationwide on January 18 by Universal Pictures. To learn more about the Blumhouse production, visit the official movie website.
Glass smartly decided that the music should serve as the inner voice of the film's main character, Barbara (Judi Dench). A great decision indeed! This score is a masterpiece of controlled writing, dramatic scoring, and beautiful musical logic- for instance, at the start of the last track on the CD, you will not find better writing for strings. These Cricut glass music plaques would make perfect sentimental gifts for almost anyone. Think birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, baby gifts, Christmas, etc. Everyone has a favorite song or a song that reminds them of a certain event in their life. I made a music plaque as a fun reminder of a Mother Daughter trip to NYC I took with my 16 year old.

Watchmen: Music from the Motion Picture is the film soundtrack album for the 2009 film Watchmen. The soundtrack features three songs written by Bob Dylan: 'Desolation Row', 'The Times They Are a-Changin', and 'All Along the Watchtower'.
The film uses some of the songs mentioned in the comic, including 'The Times They Are a-Changin', Jimi Hendrix's cover of 'All Along the Watchtower'; Simon and Garfunkel's 'The Sounds of Silence'; Nena's '99 Luftballons'; a muzak version of Tears For Fears' 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World'; and Nat King Cole's 'Unforgettable'.[2] Many of the period songs were up-mixed to 5.1 surround for the film using the Penteo process.[3] Tyler Bates, who wrote the film's original score, said the challenge was composing music that would transition effectively into these famous songs.[4] Director Zack Snyder and Bates received Dylan's permission to use the stems from 'The Times They Are a-Changin' so the three-minute song could play over the six-minute opening.[5] The story of how Dr. Manhattan came to be is accompanied by a montage of the pieces 'Prophecies' and 'Pruit Igoe' by Philip Glass, originally composed for the 1982 cult film Koyaanisqatsi. Nite Owl II and Silk Spectre II's sex scene aboard the Owl Ship is set to the tune of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah'. Originally Zack Snyder used a recording of the song by Allison Crowe for the scene, but decided Crowe's version was 'too romantic' and 'too sexy' for a scene that is intended to come across as ironic and 'ridiculous'. Snyder ended up placing the original Cohen studio recording in this scene.[6]My Chemical Romance, whose members are fans of the comic, covered Dylan's 'Desolation Row' for the first half of the closing credits.[7] The second half is followed by 'First We Take Manhattan' sung by Leonard Cohen.
The song 'The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning', composed by American alternative rock band the Smashing Pumpkins for the soundtrack of Batman & Robin, although used in a promotional trailer, was not included on the soundtrack of Watchmen. Also used in trailers but left off of the soundtrack is the track 'Take A Bow' by English alternative rock band, Muse, from their 2006 album, Black Holes and Revelations. Additionally, 'Bombshell', composed by American rock band Powerman 5000 for the soundtrack of Freddy vs. Jason Soundtrack (2003), although used in a music video and bonus tracks, was not included on Watchmen's original soundtracks. Also in the ads are Angel by Massive Attack.
