If a picture is worth a thousand words, one musical composition can evoke a thousand emotions. What struck me when I first heard the music that Brian Tyler had composed for Partition was how beautifully it captured and embodied the emotion of the movie. When music and picture come together in this way, I feel true movie magic is created. One of my hopes for the music in Partition was to have a distinct theme for the film that captured the heart of the love story and that when heard, immediately takes you back to the movie. Because the film is set in India but explores universal themes, we wanted a score that incorporated western concepts of theme and melody, while maintaining an Eastern flavour. It needed a fine balance. Brian's music gave the film all that and much more. From intimate moments played on classical Indian instruments to the epic orchestratl pieces played by the Hollywood Studio Symphony. Brian's music captures the essence of the movie and transports us to another place and time. Weaving together instruments and styles from the east and west. Brian's score, like the film, is gentle but powerful, never drawing attention but consistently enchancing the emotion of the story line. Hauntingly melodic and instantly memorable, Brian's music for Partition is one of the most original and beautiful film scores I have had the pleasure to hear.
