An enjoyable and authentic soundtrack January 17, 2005

Filled with original movie score, beautiful classical music and authentic period pieces, Master & Commander is one of the best soundtracks from 2003. Although there were several better original scores, Master & Commander is a classic soundtrack. Especially beautiful are the cello and violen renditions that show up in the movie. Another great strength of this cd is that it is very authentic in its music. I was in Colonial Williamsburg recently and the music performed there was very similar to the Master and COmmander soundtrack. The authenticuty makes it a great soundtrack.

It is good to have a soundtrack of diverse music as on this CD. It is very enjoyable. I put it on when I am doing work on my PC. It really creates the background mood in your subconscious.
A SPLENDID COMBINATION OF CONTEMPORARY AND CLASSICAL! December 26, 2004
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
The soundtrack for MASTER AND COMMANDER is simply splendid! Contemporary compositions made for the movie are absolutely wonderful and complement beautifully the classical offerings featured in the movie that include Mozart's Violin Concerto, No. 3: "Strassburg" K. 216, 3rd Movement, The Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Corelli's Adagio from Concerto Grosso Op. 6, No. 8 in G Minor: Christmas Concerto and J. S. Bach's Prelude (From the Unaccompanied Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007) performed by Yo-Yo Ma.
One might expect a movie like this to be filled with heavy music to carry war scenes characterized by cannon fire and death. Instead what you will find here is a wonderful collection of musical moods that range from the light and airy to the the solemn and serious.

hi all..i loved the film Master and Commander and i also loved alot of the music in the film..however, when i bought the cd , my first disappointment are the songs they sang around the dinner table...
but more than that...is the musical piece played while they are burying the sailors at sea..and whilst saying "the our Father".
that music is soooo beautiful..yet its not on the cd..its not listed in the credits..there is no mention of it anywhere..and its my favorite music of the film!
can anyone help me with this?
it sounds very baroque.
thanks alot.
