The BFG
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Disney
Music Composed and Conducted by John Williams
Set in a land ruled by giants and inspired by dreams, The BFG is about an unlikely friendship between two orphaned souls who find in each other, humor, adventure, strength, and courage.
If you know the Roald Dahl story, you can close your eyes and just by listening to John Williams’ compositions, you will emotionally experience what we experience with our eyes open.
A light symphony of musical poetry that complements Melissa Mathison’s adaptation, John’s score brings out all the heart, mystery, and magic in the performances of Mark Rylance as the BFG, and newcomer Ruby Barnhill as our headstrong and soulful Sophie.
The greatest film composer of our generation has written music so timeless and youthful, it makes me believe he is actually aging backwards.
BFG says, “All my dreams is beginning here,” and I feel the same way about John’s score. In fact, it is my dream come true.
