Lakeshore Records Releases Javier Navarrete’s Score To 3D Fantasy ‘Zhong Kui’ — Academy Award Winner Peter Pau and Zhao Tianyu’s Epic Australia-US-China Co-Production
I love ‘To Use Your Power’ which uses thematic material mixed in with horns of war and massive choirs. Now for some zen time finally. ‘Little Snow’ and ‘Snow Girl’ is just like flying really. Lovely airy music and particularly that flute in ‘Snow Girl’ while the “sound effects” twinkling in the underscore makes for a great listening experience. Can’t mention ‘Snow Girl’ without mentioning ‘Snow Girl Dance’ which is a lovely vocal cue with what sounds like a more Middle Eastern type of music. It’s beautiful. –Soundtrack Geek
