SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:57 Min.
As the 1998 film’s score composer, Alan Silvestri provides Practical Magic’s main instrumental theme.
REVIEW:
“Practical Magic” is wistful optimism in musical form, courtesy of Alan Silvestri. Much like he does for his Forrest Gump and Back to the Future scores, Silvestri’s own brand of ‘practical magic’ is stellar here. In that sense, this theme is reminiscent of his poignantly low-key work on Forrest Gump. Yet, with a magical wand-like twinkling sound effect, Silvestri reverses course and infuses “Practical Magic” with refreshing zest.
Suffice to say, this Silvestri gem definitely merits a reservation on instrumental and/or classical-themed playlists.
