All of the music in this soundtrack seems, to me, as though it were written for the film. It captures the feel and the vibrance and the sheer desperation of a nation who knows that its days, and the days of the original founding fathers, are finally over.
The genteel culture, and the antebellum charm... the Jeffersonian view of the general government... and the loss
of national innocence... all of these feelings were captured
completely in the haunting strains, lovely melodies, and the uplifting crescendoes of these soundtrack works. I am very pleased with all of them. - e-mail from director
