5 out of 5 stars Perfect Patriotism.......2007-07-15

Lee Greenewood's CD continues to be one of the best on the market. It's a well-rounded collection of patriotic music sure to satisfy young and old alike. Great for introducing young people to America's patriotic music.

5 out of 5 stars Patriotic.......2007-01-16

I bought this CD for my car, so when my grandkids want to listen or if I need a "patriotic" lift, these songs do the trick. There is one favorite of the kids that I too have gotten to like, as it pays tribute to each of our armed services, specifically mentioning the Army, Navy, Marine corps and Coast Guard.

1 out of 5 stars Just give us a sermon instead.......2006-10-05

There are of course, several songs on this CD which are actually songs, i.e., tracks 2-7 and 9-10. But Lee Greenwood only wrote one of them, and it is the least melodic and the most hokey.
Tracks 1 and 8 are just awful. "Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, ugh!" Puh-leeez. It's not even good music.
Not to mention the fact that one track lists two freedoms of - speech, religion - and then two freedoms from - want and fear ... a complete butchering of the First Amendment.
But what else is new in our hyper-patriotic, hyper-consumerist country?

4 out of 5 stars We should all be real Patriots.......2006-07-06

Lee Greenwood at his best. A real classic in American music. John Phillip Sousa would have loved it. It exhudes the kind of Patriotim that your parents and grandparents knew and understood. Now it is time to "rally-round-the-flag" in our generation with Lee Greenwood. It makes you feel good about yourself and your country!

4 out of 5 stars Four Stars for God Bless the USA..........2006-05-16

but I didn't really care for the arrangements of the rest of the songs on this CD. The musical accompaniment as well as the vocal improvs were too over the top for the classics included in this collection.

Though Hollywood has long had a love affair with historical epics, it has sorely shortchanged America's own most compelling chapter, the War of Independence. And if this tale of a retiring Colonial hero whose family gets drawn into the war against the British has no shortage of production ironies--being helmed by a German director and starring Australian-raised Mel Gibson--its score is a solid, stirring effort by American John Williams. Largely eschewing typical bombastic epic fodder for a mostly understated score rich in his distinctive writing for brass and strings, Williams's music seeks out the story's emotional underpinnings as much as its battle-scarred action sequences. The haunting main theme here begins as a Celtic-flavored reel for guitar and violin, then wells into strings, martial drumbeats, and full-bodied brass. Much as he did for the Oscar-nominated Saving Private Ryan, Williams paints a mature, alternately abstract and pastoral portrait of armed conflict, often as not reinventing the genre's heroic traditions as he goes. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars John Williams at his best yet again..........2007-03-19

John Williams, known for so many soundtracks of great, block-buster movies, never seems to lose his stride for writing powerful compostitions. The music to The Patriot is emotionally moving to one's spirit within as well as moving to the spirit of patriotism for our country. Highly recommended listening!

5 out of 5 stars Great Soundtrack...just try not to love it..........2006-08-23

As usual, John Williams has created a very special soundtrack. It's so patriotic sounding that you can't help but love it. Especially Track number 4 (The Colonial Cause). That is w/o a doubt one of the most impactful orchestral pieces that I have ever heard. Great job Mr. Williams....great job.

5 out of 5 stars Breathtaking!.......2006-02-07

Wow, John Williams thus again proves himself as THE BEST composer ever!!!

My favorite track is the Colonial Cause in which John Williams effectively shows off the rousing and majestic theme.

John Williams is able to craft another masterpiece by utilizing the big brass on his orchestra so effectively. The Patriot is a must for brass lovers!

John Williams is THE MAN!!

4 out of 5 stars Soul-stirring.......2005-09-06

Would recommend to friends solely for the entrancing, heart-rending solo by violinest (er, sorry, 'fiddler') Mike Myers. This Applachian-style melody is equally elusive and unforgettable in its haunted wandering. All the tracks are at least interesting and follow the strong Williams theme well, though its rather intense for casual listening. It is from an action-movie, after all...

4 out of 5 stars Sound that Exceeds Far Beyond the Track.......2005-08-01

I wouldn't essentially call myself an ardent enthusiast of John Williams, although I have benefited from the majority of his work. Granted, Star Wars never really did it for me; not musically, you understand, I just could never really enjoy the film enough to identify with the musical score I'm certain Williams worked awfully hard to craft.
Nevertheless, achievements such as Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park, and the Indiana Jones trilogy have left me in awe of Williams' talent. With that said, I firmly took pleasure in The Patriot far more than any of his work with director Steven Spielberg.

I have no intention of going into detail my fascination with this soundtrack, but I will explicitly clarify my motives for favoring this score over any others, for I know many Williams admirers will be reading this:

For starters, I believe Williams captured the quintessence of the Revolutionary War - that whole time era in general, in fact - quite superbly. The violins are a charming sound to outline for such an introductory track, and I suppose that's what formed my biased perspective on the musical score, were his influential melodies with the instrument. And the way he re-introduces the main theme with track four, "The Colonial Cause," was magnificent; and furthermore how he continues it inconsistently through to the end.
I suppose I could lie and say Mel Gibson's acting, the sentiment he brought to the screen, helped amplify the soundtrack's main theme, but that would, indeed, be proven false, for Gibson had no contact or persuasion at all with regard to this score. Sure, his acting was worthy of exposure, but the music itself was all Williams, and I respect him for that.

Oh, well, I don't want to ramble on with the same manure I see other reviewers doing, so I'll end it promptly with a short conclusion: if you've enjoyed such musical scores as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Hook, and/or Jurassic Park, then you'll at the very least find this one out of the ordinary. All that I ask is that you give it a chance; there are so many striking fundamentals about this masterpiece that I can't even illustrate, and for that basis alone obliges me to value it.

2 out of 5 stars not to great.......2007-04-04

We were disappointed with this CD, but for the price I guess we can't expect much. I didn't care for the new style presentation of the songs. I like a more traditional rendering.

3 out of 5 stars Not so bad, 100 tunes for 4$.......2005-06-22

I red the comments of two other people who have bought this 4 CD BOX SET and it is not really so bad. I will even add that there are some excellent tunes. However, I must agree with the fact that few tunes seem to have been recorded 40 or 50 years ago, mainly when you hear the scratches of an old turntable but it is just 2 or 3 tunes. Furthermore, if you do not know American music, it is a good BOX SET to buy if you consider that you received 4 CD for 4$ including 100 tunes. On these 4 CD, I have heard some orchestration that I have never heard before and I consider that they are different but interesting. Any way, after hearing these 100 tunes, you will say to yourself that you like this tune, this other tune, this other tune and so on and you will be able to buy a more expensive CD with the tunes that you like. However, I have bought many CDs in the last few weeks and as you know, there are always some tunes that you like and some tunes that you do not like on every CD that you will buy. So, don't buy it at 25$ but at 4 or 5$ dollars, it is a very good choice for 100 tunes.

1 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for........2004-07-04

You get what you pay for. The singers put their own spin on the singing of each song. If you didn't hear the words you would not recognize some of them. Even some of the music sounds like a bad recording of music played on a turntable. Definitely not worth the price.

1 out of 5 stars Now I know why there were no song samples to listen to ..........2004-07-04

I wish this review had been here when I was thinking of purchasing it. I guess you get what you pay for. If you are thinking of buying this, you are better off recording your own CDs (or at least buying one that you can listen to a sampling of the songs). This album includes songs that were mere recordings of the songs playing on an old record player. It's almost so unbelievable that it is funny.

5 out of 5 stars It IS Good!.......2006-03-16

I'm SO GLAD I am not the only one who likes Horner's work for PATRIOT GAMES!
James Horner is one of the most controversial score composers because of his habit to quote works from other composers, but I don't care.
Three reasons why I started collecting soundtracks: James Horner, John Capenter, John Williams.
Many people consider Horner's Patriot Games one of his weakest works, and I don't know why!
Horner just knows how to score an action movie, and he reached the pinnacle with COMMANDO. And why does his RED HEAT score get so bad reviews? Whatever.
James Horner did things only James Horner could have done(COMMANDO, RED HEAT), and PATRIOT GAMES is another score from Horner that is full of excitement.
When Horner scores an action scene he throws in everything plus the kitchen sink, resulting in such tracks as THE HIT, and achieving something like a musical orgasm. Wow!
There are many great moments on this CD like the quieter MAIN TITLE and HIGHLAND'S EXECUTION.
All in all, highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars One of the most exciting soundtracks you'll ever own.......2004-10-13

One of the most common complaints about James Horner is that all his stuff sounds alike. Perhaps, in general, but he was at the very top of his "game" for this one. PATRIOT GAMES really is one of the most exciting and fun-to-listen-to soundtracks I've ever heard.

In addition, the score boasts a fast musical pace, and mixed in throughout is a wonderful blend of Irish/Celtic themes and a couple of songs sung by the Irish singing family Clannad (which formerly included the world-renowned Enya) including what is perhaps their most famous piece "Harry's Game".

This soundtrack is perfect reading music, because it is intermittently fast-paced and peaceful and relaxing. Even if you haven't seen the film, if you enjoy Irish instrumental music, you will not be disappointed with this purchase.

5 out of 5 stars Listen to the Music, then watch the movie again.......2002-07-24

This is such a great cd. It makes great background music when studying or entertaining.

The one thing that really made me appreciate the music and the movie even more, was watching the movie after having listened to the cd several times. I had the cd almost memorized, when I watched the movie for the first time in several years, wow, you really have a better appreciation for both, and for Horner's work.

5 out of 5 stars A Formula That Works........2001-11-20

Perhaps I spoke too soon when I originally called the combination of the soundtracks for "Legends of the Fall", "Braveheart", and "Titanic" the Horner Trilogy. After receiving this CD, it would appear that long before these three scores, there was "Patriot Games." There are so darn many similarities in all of them it's uncanny. My guess is that Horner created a formula that worked for this movie and then made different combinations from the same elements were needed for any future movies involving Scotland or Ireland.

As a listener, you will pretty much figure out that when the Celtic instruments begin playing it's because the terrorists are attacking in the movie. In another time and place, vocalist Maggie Boyle's traditional Gaelic song heard in the Main Title might be the sound of the choir at the beginning of "Titanic". The "Hit" track, heard when Sean Miller rams Katherine and Sally off the highway, follows much of the same kind of wood flute, keyboard and percussion patterns I described in my review of the "Legends of the Fall" CD. And the assault on the Ryan house is an eleven minute long track on this CD that sounds like an early-in-the-making-but-rejected version of the Revenge track on "Braveheart." And oh yeah, one last thing that I find rather amusing: all during the heavy action tracks on this CD you can hear either a flute or a pennywhistle soaring up and down all kinds of ways that don't seem to gel with what every other instrument in the track is doing. I wonder if this is Horner's way of trying to show two different sides of Ireland: the dark side affected by terrorists and the bright side that many tourists will see if they visit Ireland.

2 out of 5 stars One Of Horner's Laziest Works Ever.......2001-10-14

There was a time when James Horner used to write spectacular pieces of music for action movies, and I had high expectations with his score for "Patriot Games", based on Tom Clancy's best selling novel. I was far from finding out how disappointing this work really is.

The main title is kinda dull with a traditional gaelic song that should have worked better if Horner had given it more strength. 'Attack On The Royals' started sounding fine, but after the first minute, I could tell that he was noticing he was getting tired writing almost the same material he's written before. 'The Hit' and 'Assault On Ryan's House' present full synthesizers to the score, but -forgive me for saying this -the music sounds repetitive, with the same notes all over those tracks with almost no variations. Wow!! How I wished to have heard something like "48 Hrs.", or "Gorky Park", or "Commando".

The only good things about this soundtrack are Horner's own 'Highland's Execution' (with the voice from the main title singing mysteriously and enchantingly) and 'Boat Chase' (where the orchestrations sound powerful, even though it's something recycled from his previous work).

This is the kind of work that should be forgotten. James Horner should have done something better. However, I thank God for his "Clear And Present Danger" score.

5 out of 5 stars "cinema's main stay themes prevail ~ City of Prague".......2004-08-15

What a crowning achievement to bring "Reel Chill:Cinematic Chillout Album", released by Silva America and featuring The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and the Crouch End Festival Chorus ~ conductors are Mark Ayres, Paul Bateman, Rick Clark, James Fitzpatrick, Nic Raine and David Temple director of the chorus ~ one can only expect the highest quality of performances and quench the thirst of all "film-score-buffs".

Sit back and unleash the first disc with composers ~ Albinoni, Craig Armstrong, John Barry, Vladimir Cosma, Enya & Nicky Ryan, Handel, Francis Lai, Ennio Morricone, Sean O'Riorda, Nino Rota, Ryvichi Sakamoto and Vangelis ~ taking each film score cue "BILITIS", "CHARIOTS OF FIRE", "CINEMA PARADISO", "DIVA", "GALLIPOLI", "THE LORD OF THE RINGS:THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING", "BARRY LYNDON", "MERRY CHRISTMAS MR. LAWRENCE", "MIDNIGHT COWBOY", "THE MISSION", "ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA", "ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST", "ROMEO & JULIET" and "ROMEO + JULIET", with arrangements that soar and then simmer into pure meditation of grandeur ~ classic film music prevails, as orchestration comes to the surface with pure originality ~ one masterpiece after another is long last presented as it should have been, is cause for celebration ~ each cue is a distinctive gift for striking modernism, touching on the transition of the period in this planets history.

Second disc is waiting in the wings are composers ~ Samuel Barber, John Barry, Patrick Cassidy, James Horner, Mahler, Mascagni, Stanley Myers, Thomas Newman, Michael Nyman, Howard Shore, John Williams and Hans Zimmer/Lisa Gerrard ~ take a musical ride with "AMERICAN BEAUTY", "A.I. ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE", "DEATH IN VENICE", "DEER HUNTER", "GLADIATOR", "HANNIBAL", "THE LORD OF THE RINGS:RETURN OF THE KING", "ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE", "OUT OF AFRICA", "PATRIOT GAMES", "THE PIANO", "PLATOON", "RAGING BULL", "SOMEWHERE IN TIME" and "YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE" ~ our composers with passion and skill for exploring human emotions, coupled with a unique gift for striking exotic orchestral colors, make this with all it's splendor unforgettable ~ themes that ring with familiarity as each film comes to mind through music.

Silva America gives the collector a treasure of thirty film cues that any "film-score-buff" would die for ~ in the past James Fitzpatrick (producer), Reynold da Silva (executive producer), mastered by Rick Clark and David Stoner (release co-ordinator) have given us compilation with such expertise and this one is no exception ~ keep up the outstanding limited editions and deluxe package releases, with your signature tidbits for all film music fans that's in all of us...gotta love it!

Like the book, A Patriot's Handbook, that inspired it, this album goes from rock to folk to r&b to traditional music to look at what it means to be a Patriot in America today. From classy traditional songs such as the U.S. Marine Band to modern poets such as Paul Simon, it's a great listen.

3 out of 5 stars God Bless America !.......2005-10-27

I bought this for the Kate Smith tune, but soon realized, I had Much more ! Many songs I've heard all My Life at Parades and at Church. In this day and age We live in, this certainly lifts your spirits. I think this would be a very good basic "CD" for everyone to have in their collection, who is America minded !

    5 out of 5 stars Great recording.......2007-06-14

    I purchased the CD for use with my students. It is an absolute "music have" for every high school band room. It is some of the most beautiful brass playing you will hear. Carl Lenthe is a world class trombone artist.

    5 out of 5 stars Audition Window--very good.......2007-05-17

    My son wanted this music as he is learning a solo for the trombone. He found several pieces he likes and the CD is very enjoyable.

    5 out of 5 stars Increbily Usefull to an trombone player, a must have........2006-01-05

    This is comiing from a guy who has played 3/4 of the tracks on this album myself. If you are serious about playing trombone, this is a must have cd, the tracks span many songs you WILL run across, and i dare you to find a better quality recording.

    5 out of 5 stars Fantastic.......2003-12-03

    This recording of Trombone solos with piano is incredible. The performer is a wonderful musician, and I find his rendition of J. Ed Barat's Andante and Allegro to be fascinating. I have performed the piece myself, and found this CD very useful in my own performance.
