I am a silly and impatient fangirl who needed a PoA fix and can't go seee it again until tomorrow, earliest.

So when I got off work last night I bought the soundtrack. ^^;

There is this neat - comment? Note? John composed "Double Trouble" during the production of the film as we decided that a children's choir would be a warm welcome back to Hogwarts. The theme, a melodic mischievious close cousin of the "Hedwig's Theme" composed around text from Shakespeare's Macbeth, became the foundation stone for the rest of the film score. Its medieval color became the musical identity of the wizarding world in this third installment of Harry Potter.

John juggled this medieval motifs with a late 19th century rossini-esque narrative, a delirious big band jazz number, and 20th century music (which we both share a love for). How he managed to create a unity out of it all, beats me!

It was a great privilege to witness, as the scoring sessions unfolded, music breathing life into what has become a much better film.

Gracias Maestro! - Alfonso Cuaron
