Desplat sagste just fall in interviews that he wanted to hold back more to the music of John Williams, a statement was what very well received, but Doyle and particularly Hooper went away very far from the original the Williams with 1-3 part delivered.
Desplat was known for his melodic and romantic music, but he would also bring the magic and the same time to fill the seriousness of the very dark novel with musical life?
Harry Potter 7.1 is certainly the most difficult film of the series, when it comes to the implementation of music, rather a road movie and a film which is very rushed and little of the wonderful world of magic shows in the Harry lives, but full of darkness and fear , The novel offered little room to excel with colorful elements and Desplat task was considering its Vorgängerfilmem very hard in my eyes. He has mastered in his very own way.
With "Obliviate" begins the album, and it starts the same with one of the finest pieces of the entire series. Strings, flutes and wind instruments play a majestic melody full of hope but also despair and lies just beautiful sounds. The theme is also the inspiration for the Harry, Ron and Hermione, and is indicated especially with the first three notes over and over again.
"Snape to Malfoy Manor" introduces the Death Eater theme, which sounds like Desplat and dark and menacing sounds without losing its beauty.
The following pieces are all very emotional and moving, a piano theme for Harry and Ginni, another small issue accompanied by the choir, a little out of the Obiviate topic and Hedwig theme from the glockenspiel, the album shows here for me with quiet emotional tones his best page and completely convinced. Nice full of sadness but also hope and love.
"Dobby" is the theme for the house elves, it sounds quite different than that of John Williams, much quieter and less playful. The medieval strike comes very clearly to the validity and the piece sounds really interesannt.
Unfortunately, the film also requires a great deal of ambience and pure Athmospärische passages, especially in the center is weakening the score here, there is every now and then to hear clever ideas but overall this little remarkable case.
"Ron Leaves" is a sensitive little piece in the Obliviate theme is indicated again and in "Godric's Hollow Graveyard" sounded eerily beautiful piano tones and produce a very dense atmosphere. "Lovegood" is a very expirimenteles piece what less important matches the rest of the music and more associated with something like Ghost Writer, a lot of flutes and more agents music - but not bad.
The following pieces are all nice to hear put with little accents, with "Farewell to Doby" closes the album from beautiful, a lot of emotions are presented here. The score is to make the most points, Desplat understood it well represent the vulnerable side of the protagonists and to give the film a very unique Charatker. Williams Hedwig theme is reinserted very discreet but fit and forms a nice connection back to Harry Potter world. The beautiful carefree days are gone but the score is still one thing that I personally now asoziiere with Harry Potter.
Desplat it creates very high standard to set to music a difficult template and creates between struggle, tension and anxiety always find time for the beautiful moments full of emotion
