I’ve blogged about wedding music last year, and in the pair of posts noted that one of my choices for Ling’s Processional was “I’ll Always Go Back to that Church”, better known as “Kip’s Lights”, from The English Patient by Gabriel Yared.
The original motion picture soundtrack on CD has a marvelous recording of this track. For those of us who don’t mind picking up an alternative recording of the same music, Naxos has just released a soundtracks CD of film music performed by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Carl Davis – and one of the tracks is an arrangement of the piano solo theme from The English Patient and “Kip’s Lights”. Easy way to pick up two very lovely pieces of music at a go.:)
The MP3 version of the track is available at Amazon here for those of us with US Credit Cards. Alternatively, you can pick up the track for free at eMusic as a trial subscriber, or just USD0.20 in my case as a current subscriber.
Either way, it’s well worth the acquisition.:)
I love all the sougs in this soundtrack, so haunting & evocative- Adriel hates the show though….he thought it excuciating to wait for 3 hours for the guy to die! ;p
