This score has to be among the most beautiful and most complementary I've ever heard in a film. "Gabriel's Oboe" as its called on the soundtrack, or what I would consider to be the "Main Theme" (first played by Gabriel on his oboe and reprised throughout the movie) is one of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard. And infusing it with tribal chants was simply breathtaking. Such a gorgeous score by Morricone. He deserved the Oscar.

Yes he finally got his Oscar - should have won his first years and years ago, but we all know Morricone is the Greatest with or without the Award, don't we!

I looooved the music, it told me what to feel amid the blank stares and hokey symbolism.

Agree. One of the most haunting piece of score ever composed for a film. The AMPAS laid an egg by not rewarding Morricone with a much deserved Oscar.

I'm sure that Falls has been used on other film trailers- any ideas?

''Gabriel's Oboe'' is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful melodies I've ever heard. It was played when we carried my grandfathers coffin out of the church, and it was such a powerful moment, grief blended with awe and appreciation of a beautiful piece of music. ''Gabriel's Oboe'' represents for me feeling of loss, but yet hopefulness.

My favourite theme has always been 'River,' which hits its zenith in 'Miserere.' But I agree, it'sn incredible score from start to finish, one of the most beautiful scores Morricone has ever composed.
This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.

I too liked that song, I never knew it was from this movie though.
I think there could have been a bit more variety to the soundtrack at times, especially during the final battle, but what they did have was good.

Yes, it is. I recently overheard a friend of mine watching a Korean drama "Beethoven Virus" in the other room that used a lot of classical music like Beethoven and Chopin. And then they also had Gabriel's Oboe theme there too. It took me forever to connect it to this movie since it'd been a while and I was expecting it to be an older music piece.
