Human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars
Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary, 1857

If you were impressed with James Horner's Apollo 13 soundtrack, here's good news for you: His music in the highly acclaimed Braveheart is probably the nearest thing to symphonic perfection ever produced in the twentieth century. It is simply exquisite. And that's putting it mildly.

The score includes such earthy Scottish ingredients as the uillean pipe, bodhran drum, whistle and kena. You might not have heard of them, but you'll definitely love them.

Beautiful and powerful, the soundtrack ranges from the soft and slow to the thunderous. It varies in mood and will, over eighty minutes, soothe you, excite you, break you.
