SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:57 Min.
Composer-conductor Michael Kamen devised the instrumental, “Rowena,” for the soundtrack of the acclaimed 1995 Richard Dreyfuss drama, Mr. Holland’s Opus. A few years later, the Seattle Symphony Orchestra performed the track for the 1998 Michael Kamen’s Opus retrospective album.
REVIEW:
It isn’t distinctive, but composer Michael Kamen imbues “Rowena” with an intriguing sense of melancholy. This somber track conveys a down-to-earth narrative with appropriately poignant touches at the right moments. Though the theme perhaps overstays its welcome, “Rowena” should blend in well with instrumental and classical music playlists.
