Anthony Minghella's 1996 film The English Patient won nine Academy
Awards_, including one for Best Original Score. Though Gabriel
Yared had previously composed scores for several films, including
Betty Blue, Camille Claudel, and Vincent & Theo, his work on
The English Patient launched him into international public
consciousness. His score for this film testifies to the continued
appeal of a classical, noncommercial style of scoring, eschewing
the use of contemporary pop music for a more 'timeless' sound. In
Gabriel Yared's The English Patient: A Film Score Guide, author
Heather Laing offers the most in-depth examination to date of the
work of the composer. Laing examines Yared's approach to film
scoring, his compositional techniques and the impact of his
partnership with Minghella before and after The English
Patient_through an exploration of such films as The Moon in the
Gutter, Betty Blue, Tatie Danielle, IP5, The Lover, City of Angels,
and The Talented Mr. Ripley. The integral role of music in The
English Patient is contextualized within a detailed analysis of the
film's narrative construction, themes, and motifs. The soundtrack
is examined as a whole, and the specific 'soundworlds' of each
character, location, and relationship are drawn out as the basis
for the overall style and construction of the score. Musical themes
are viewed in both musical and narrative terms, and musical
connections between the themes are identified. A close analysis of
the placement and development of musical themes throughout the film
reveals the complex musical journey that forms a unique and
integral element of the characters.
