Hugo Original Score

HUGO

Soundtrack Nominated for a Grammy Award

Hugo marks the sixth collaboration between director Martin Scorsese and composer Howard Shore. Like Scorsese’s film, Shore’s score to Hugo is a love letter both to the French culture in the 1930s and to the groundbreaking early days of cinema. Shore’s music is composed for two ensembles, inside a full symphony orchestra resides a smaller ensemble, a sort of nimble French dance band that includes the ondes Martenot, musette, cimbalom, tack piano, gypsy guitar, upright bass, a 1930s trap-kit, and alto saxophone. “I wanted to match the depth of the sound to the depth of the image,” says Shore.

Order at: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes or your preferred retailer.

for A Dangerous Method

On the eve of World War I, Zurich and Vienna are the setting for a dark tale of sexual and intellectual discovery.
