SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 8:16 Min.
Climaxing 1985’s Ladyhawke, British conductor/composer Andrew Powell (with some help from Alan Parsons) provides a thorough montage of Ladyhawke themes. Its symphonic sound comes from the New Philamornia Orchestra London.
REVIEW:
Its ethereal first portion proves an ideal means of narrating Ladyhawke’s fairy tale finale. There’s no mistaking that it’s also an unique approach to Hollywood medieval adventure.
In particular, the unmistakably synthesizer-like melody (including some electric guitar) is a wonderful transition into the end credits. Continuing this medley is the Ladyhawke single, which doubles as the movie’s end title
One might also notice that some elements of the main title are thrown in for good measure. Symphonically summarizing Ladyhawke, this track is a mid-80’s gem for soundtrack and instrumental enthusiasts.
