Today I would like to present you the composition of French musician Alexandre Desplat, namely "Griet's Theme" from the film "Girl with a pearl earring". To be honest, I love the soundtracks... For me this is a real music and Alexandre Desplat is one of the best composers in the world. This opinion isn't groundless because this year he has won the Academy Award for his soundtrack to the film "Grand Budapest Hotel", and received seven additional Academy Awards nominations.
But this time, I'll present you a composition that you can listen to below.
In my opinion this composition is very magical. It seem's to be calm and delicate, but a few seconds further it become more powerful and impressive. I have also the impression that the music is floating (thanks to the violins, I guess) and this make the composition very pleasant to the ear.
I have to add that I don't remember this film. Really... I have seen it a many years ago, but of course you can listening a soundtrack without knowing a film! For me a film and a soundtrack aren't inseparable. The soundtracks should "live their own life" and be juge regardless of the films, because sometimes it happens that a bad film has a beautiful score.
I hope you enjoy this composition! Please, tell me what is your favourite soundtrack, I'm very curious about that :)
Greetings,
K.
