David Arnold
The Musketeer – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Universal
Fine bit of dramatic adventure movie music. The movie was pretty unnecessary from my standpoint (“it’s been done, man”), but the music conjures up some half-decent swashbuckling mixed with romance. I reckon that’s to be expected from David Arnold, with credits like Stargate, Independence Day, Tomorrow Never Dies, Shaft, and other 1990s-era blockbuster films, the black mark being Godzilla. There’s some fine Web sites about the man, including several shrines, though.
