SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 6:04 Min.
Composer-conductor Michael Kamen devised this instrumental theme for the 1994 Johnny Depp-Faye Dunaway-Marlon Brando comedy-drama, Don Juan DeMarco. Four years later, the Seattle Symphony Orchestra performed the track for the 1998 Michael Kamen’s Opus retrospective album.
REVIEW:
Timelessly romantic, “Dona Ana” proves a wistful delight. Starting with a melancholic bent, it’s a red herring when the track comes to life, as if narrating a musical stage play. Mixing light-hearted elements with Spanish-Italian flavor and a medieval-like classical tone, Michael Kamen’s composition of this track is inspired. One idea would be that “Dona Ana” could be ideal for a Shakespearean comedy, like Much Ado About Nothing. This low-key theme ought to be considered for any instrumental and/or classical playlists – it’s certainly worth it.
