Nicholas Britell Finds The Sound Of Poetry For ‘Moonlight’ + Hear ‘Chiron’s Theme’ From The Soundtrack! | Deadline

moonlight_vinylcomp

Composer Nicholas Britell asked himself what was the musical sound of poetry, and the film, Moonlight, is that poetry in three acts.  With credentials like writing songs for Academy Award winner 12 Years A Slave and last year’s The Big Short, Nicholas has come a long way from first being inspired by Vangelis’ Academy Award-winning score to Chariot’s Of Fire in his youth.   Read the composer profile and hear “Chiron’s Theme” now at Deadline!

Moonlight (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is out now on Lakeshore Records, get it here on iTunes or Vinyl.

A24 presents MOONLIGHT, in theaters everywhere on November 18 (find a theater).

Vinyl Pre-Order [MERCH NOW]

MOONLIGHT is the breathtaking soundtrack to the film Rolling Stone has called “A Masterpiece”. The album features the critically-acclaimed score by composer Nicholas Britell, as well as choice songs including “Every N****r Is A Star” by Boris Gardner, “Cell Therapy” by Goodie Mob and “Hello Stranger” by Barbra Lewis.

Nicholas Britell is an award-winning composer, pianist, and producer. In 2015, Britell scored Adam McKay’s Oscar-nominated film THE BIG SHORT, and his music also featured prominently in Steve McQueen’s Oscar-winning film 12 YEARS A SLAVE, for which he composed and arranged the on-camera music including the violin performances, spiritual songs, work songs, and dances. As a producer, Britell produced Damien Chazelle’s short film WHIPLASH, and subsequently co-produced the Oscar-nominated feature film WHIPLASH.

Britell’s emotional and evocative score to MOONLIGHT has resonated with audiences from early festival screenings, earning accolades from critics in their reviews of the film which underline how the music is wrapped into the very fabric of the film itself.
