| Audio CD Description Big news on the Harry Potter musical front: After scoring the first three installments in the series, John Williams has been replaced by Patrick Doyle. Still, Williams never feels far away. His main theme pops up here and there, and a track like "Voldemort," which eloquently illustrates the soul of a blacker-than-black wizard with thunderous cymbal crashes, shrieking horns, tumultuous strings, and a stately finish, firmly belongs in the Williams mode. Overall, Doyle acquits himself well. He can do light when needed ("The Quidditch World Cup," which starts out like some kind of jig), but mostly he's required to be ominous ("The Quidditch World Cup," which ends in martial war chants). Among the highlights are the aforementioned "Voldemort," but also the frantic, overpowering "The Dark Mark." Note that the CD concludes on a jarringly different note with three songs by the Weird Sisters, the group that performs at Hogwarts' Yule Ball. Led by Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker, the ad hoc band also includes members of Radiohead and Cocker's side project Relaxed Muscle. "Do the Hippogriff" is a fast-paced rocker that somehow comes across like a grungy hybrid of Billy Idol's "White Wedding" and "Dancing with Myself." The other two songs--"This Is the Night" and "Magic Works"--are less obvious, and much better. Still, the contrast between these tracks and the instrumental score that precedes them may not be to everybody's taste. |

Tsk, tsk... All right, John was given the boot, and now Mr. Newell was in a rut. Who was to score his picture? Well, apparently, Doyle apparently got the job, and the musical doom of Potter fans was sealed.
... Delectably Different ... When I heard that John Williams wasn't doing the soundtrack quite frankly I was relieved. After listening to the music for the first time it was like a breath of fresh air. Don't get me wrong I am a big fan of John Williams. his music just is always obviously JOHN WILLIAMS, and it is really hard to get away from that. I like how Patrick Doyle changed things around and did his own thing. It is a very well composed soundtrack and is definitely a must-have.
Complete and Utter Disappointment I have to admit, when I learned that John Williams didn't do the score for this film, I felt a little weary about the quality of this new installment. But having no expectations, I went into it very opened minded and willing to accept whatever new motifs, themes, and lyrical expressions Patrick Doyle had come up with. Unfortunately, my assumptions were correct.
