Album Notes Personnel include: Craig Armstrong (piano); Metro Voices (vocals); Simon Chamberlain (piano).Recording information: AIR Studios, London, England.Craig Armstrong's score for the film RAY is largely orchestral, although keyboards and synthesizers often supplement the rich arrangements. Armstrong also regularly incorporates clips of dialog from the movie. Along with co-orchestrator Matt Dunkley, Armstrong focuses on the mystical, as he builds emotional climaxes, ghostly interludes, and other atmospheric blankets of sound.On certain selections, Armstrong uses bluesy piano chords and gospel singers to show the connection between his score and the music of Ray Charles. "Remember Your Promise" is the best example of this, as it is propelled by the soft wail of a female gospel vocalist. Other tracks, such as "Dreams of Ray I" and "Dreams of Ray III," use sleek drum loops to drive the music; on the latter, a choir also sings soft harmonies in the distance. Similarly, "End Credits" uses drum loops, legato strings, and spacey keyboards to accompany a bluesy vocal. The beauty of Armstrong's music lies in his ability to capture the drama of Charles's life. The mix of gospel music with ethereal orchestrations is essential to the film and makes for an intriguing score. | |||||||||||||
