Director Lee Toland Krieger’s Aunt And Uncle Play A Musical Role In ‘The Age Of Adaline’

Nancy McCallion is going Hollywood, and so is her husband, fellow Tucson musician Danny Krieger.

The couple makes its major motion picture debut in “The Age of Adaline,” a movie directed by McCallion’s nephew Lee Toland Krieger (“Celeste & Jesse Forever,” “The Vicious Kind”). Danny Krieger gets a one-line voice-over: “Keep it down in there!”; you’ll hear Nancy’s a bit longer as her song “Brighter in the Night” wafts from a car radio… But buy the soundtrack and you’ll hear the full version, the one she recorded on her 2009 indie album “Take A Picture of Me.” It’s included on a playlist that features Bob Dylan’s “Simple Twist Of Fate” and Jefferson Airplane’s “Comin’ Back to Me.” –Arizona Daily Star

The Age Of Adaline: Rob Simonsen’s Score Is Perfection On The Film’s Opening Weekend

Critics Love Rob Simonsen’s Score On ‘The Age Of Adaline’ As Fans Turned Out In Droves

Not long after Adaline’s brief encounter with the young document forger, there’s a flashback to 1906, where the story really begins. This is when her charmed life starts unraveling. The back story is mostly transmitted through picture postcard imagery, her handsome engineer husband’s untimely death, the grief-stricken young widow skidding off the road in a freak snowstorm. Which requires another detour to mention the gently aged sensibility caught like lightning in a bottle by cinematographer David Lanzenberg and production designer Claude Pare. Rob Simonsen’s lyrical music accompanies all this beauty. –Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times

Over the weekend, movie fans turned out for The Age Of Adaline, starring Blake Lively, Michiel Huisman, Kathy Baker with Harrison Ford and Ellen Burstyn. Rob Simonsen, founder of The Echo Society and composer of last year’s acclaimed Foxcatcher, scored “Adaline” and collaborated with Faux Fix (who, last year, collaborated with Son Lux on The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby) and Elena Tonra (on vocals) for the end credits song, “Start Again.” Released by Lakeshore Records, the score album is available now on iTunes. The various artists album will be released by Lakeshore Records on April 28. Preview the official The Age Of Adaline Playlist below.

Rob Simonsen-Scored Film ‘The Age Of Adaline’ Opens In Theaters Nationwide On April 24

Simonsen responds with a beautiful, longing score that proves to be his most sumptuously traditional work yet. Beyond-lush romantic strings, angelic voices, gossamer bells combine for a gloriously thematic tapestry that’s nothing less than heaven-sent music. It’s longing beauty as the height or irony for a woman who’d like nothing better than to once again be touched by the hand of age – anxious music conveying a constant navigation of identities to hide her true self. -Daniel Schweiger, Film Music Magazine

Film music critic Daniel Schweiger recently interviewed Rob Simonsen, the composer of The Age Of Adaline. The score album is out now via Lakeshore Records, and the film opens this Friday nationwide. See below for more on the interview.
