Based on Nicholas Sparks' novel, director Nick Cassavetes film spins the bittersweet tale of a 60-year romance, as seen from the polar perspectives of its promising youth and the travails of an old age cursed by Alzheimer's. Its soundtrack effectively echoes those polar dramatic concerns, with composer Aaron Zigler's gentle orchestral score largely giving voice to the character's melancholy present, while a rich, well-chosen slate of vintage material by Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller imparts a restless energy to their youth. There's a certain schmaltz to much of Zigman's work here, yet cues like "House Blues/The Porch Dance.." and "Noah's Journey" argue he's achieved something more elusive than mere melodramatic wallpaper with the deceivingly difficult task at hand; it can't be easy to have your work seasoned with the likes of Ellington's sassy "Alabamy Home" and Goodman's still-vibrant "One O'Clock Jump." Sharply contrasting versions of "I'll Be Seeing You" by Holiday and Jimmy Durante bookend the soundtrack, perfectly evoking the story's alternating shades of hope and fading nostalgia and framing Zigman's understated work in the bargain. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

Based on the best selling novel by Nicholas Sparks ("A Walk To Remember", "Message In A Bottle"), "The Notebook" is the story of Noah and Allie, teenage lovers torn apart by WWII and Allie's parents' demands to marry a respectable lawyer. After 14 years apart, they meet again and rekindle their true love. Starring Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, James Garner, and Gena Rowlands. The soundtrack is a propelling force. In addition to classic WWII era pieces, Aaron Zigman's score suites enhance the record with beautifully dramatic themes. Score performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony.

There isn't much I can say about this beautiful movie, except that it was so touching!
It say's go for the "true love", settle for nothing else no matter what may be in store, because love that is "true" and as beautiful as their's was, is a rare thing!
I absolutely loved the ending.
I also loved that a movie CAN be truly wonderful, beautiful and touching WITHOUT grafic "sex scenes!" Also sadly a rare thing in movies today.

Ever seen "Hanover Street?" Equally beautiful. No SEX scenes either!

5 out of 5 stars Pays music a complement. I love the classical pieces!.......2007-05-27

I do not have the soundtrack to The Notebook, but I do have the movie itself. Having said that, every song is wonderful. Some music carries with it, a wealth of emotion and a sense of timelessness. I love all of the classical pieces , perhaps the best, in this particular movie. Classical has never been my speed when it comes down to music, but something about this movie's classical masterpieces struck a chord in me...made me smile and maybe even sniffle a bit. If you are a fan of the movie, I'm sure you would love its soundtrack too. Music like this is ideal for a romantic evening or just for pleasure listening. You don't know if you'll like something until you give it a chance! So give this a chance!!

5 out of 5 stars the Notebook soundtrack (Audio CD).......2007-05-13

This is a beautiful collection of music from the movie, The Notebook. Most is instrumental, very relaxing, as well as lively at times. Two renditions of "I'll Be Seeing You" are included.

5 out of 5 stars Very Nice.......2007-03-30

I really enjoyed listening to the soundtrack, but I'm also a big fan of background music and this cd was great for both. Listening to the cd took me back to the movie and reminded me how much I enjoyed it, but I also put the cd on during a nice meal with friends and it worked out very well, they all enjoyed the music.

5 out of 5 stars A sweeping, emotional standout!.......2007-01-11

The music from The Notebook brings you right back to the film, capturing your heart and soul. It's music will roll live waves through your soul and bring you from nostalgia to your own feelings of love and desire. The selections, arrangements and orchestrations are to be admired, and Mr. Zigman is to be praised. This soundtrack truly completes the legacy of "The Notebook".

4 out of 5 stars Indian infused World Music.......2006-07-04

In each of Mickey Hart's albums, the artist submerges himself within a concept and reinvents himself through the project dujour. Hart's rhythmic journey as recorded in the studio has created some duds and crafted some gems. Fortunately, the Diga Rhythm Band produced one of his jewels. In this project, Hart's focus was on the sounds of India. That written, vibes and marimbas are the primary musical instruments on "Diga" -neither of which are Indian and no attempt is made to have them play Indian melodies. The absence of sitars on such a project almost seems odd. Unless the listener is expecting classical Indian sounds, this isn't necessarily a drawback. With respect to authenticity, Mickey Hart always produces his albums in a way that makes ethnic music more accessible to Western ears. In other words, this isn't Indian music, it's really World Music. When it came to the sounds of India, Hart's focus was on rhythm; the tablas are the main vehicle. 'Razooli' sounds like it could be an outtake from the Grateful Dead's "Blues for Allah." 'Sweet Sixteen' is so sugary, it's difficult not to describe it as 'World Pop.' Jerry Garcia plays 'Happiness Is Drumming' as if it were a prototype version of 'Fire on the Mountain.' In terms of rhythm, 'Magnificent Sevens' is the most accomplished composition. The song showcases the group's improvisation within the Diga Rhythm Band's most challenging arrangement. As a drum album, the percussion is stellar thanks in part to Zakir Hussain's nimble hands. Easy to listen to, "Diga" delivers Indian infused World Music.

This is the album when Indian Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain worked with Mickey Hart and Jerry Garcia and came out with wonderful piece of music. This album shows the power of percussion.

5 out of 5 stars Ethereal!! Transcendental!!.......2004-05-14

I have no words to praise this record. It is a must buy for anyone having even the slightest interest in percussion music. It also benefits from the guitar of the memorable Jerry Garcia on two of the tracks, one of which (Happiness is Drumming)is reminiscent of The Grateful Dead's song Fire on the Mountain. I would also like to mention that it's not just dry drumming but the songs include Vibes which give an deep glass sound dimension to it. It is a great record, you wont be dissapointed.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent CD!.......2002-08-21

This CD by the all percussion ensemble "Diga Rhythm Band", is so good!

No track really stands out for me. All of them shine! But you do have to check out the instrumental based on the 0"Fire On The Mountain" Theme called "Happiness Is Drumming" as well as the opening track "Sweet Sixteens".

BTW, the track listing that Amazon posted is not in the correct order (if not, then my CD is)

The correct track listing:

1. Sweet Sixteens
2. Magificant Sevens
3. Happiness Is Drumming
4. Razooli
5. Tal Mala

Any-...... enjoy the CD.

Eliana is a full woman: she sings a lot, dances very well, acts and has a TV show. Besides, she is so pretty! This CD is just great: it has some electronic music, some rock, some pop, it's really a cool "mess". The best song is "O Que Passou Já Passou". This album is a must-buy!
