████ There are movies where you notice the soundtrack, and others ████
████ where you don't. The latter is usually considered ideal, and yet ████
████ it's impossible to ignore Philip Glass' pervasive, ████
████ all-encompassing soundtrack while watching Stephen Daldy's ████
████ celebrated follow-up to Billy Elliot (the same could just as ████
████ easily be said of Elmer Bernstein's majestic music for Far From ████
████ Heaven). This isn't such a bad thing -- far from it. The ████
████ piano-dominated score, incorporating motifs from Glass' ████
████ Satyagraha, Glassworks, and Solo Piano is, by turns, lush, ████
████ sumptuous, and stirring. Michael Riesman is the pianist, the ████
████ Lyric Quartet provides the strings, and Nick Ingman is the ████
████ conductor. The fruits of their labor -- and artistry -- add depth ████
████ to the action on screen without ever quite overwhelming it. The ████
████ complicated storyline, based on Michael Cunningham's Pulitzer ████
████ Prize-winning novel (which was, in turn, inspired by Virginia ████
████ Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway) is inherently dramatic and emotionally ████
████ compelling enough that it doesn't really "need" music to get its ████
████ message across. And the actors, including Nicole Kidman (Virginia ████
████ Woolf), Julianne Moore (Laura Brown), and Meryl Streep (Clarissa ████
████ Vaughn), breathe such life into these three distinct characters, ████
████ living in three different time periods, that they don't need ████
████ really need the music either. But it's always there, like a ████
████ ghostly presence in each woman's life, helping to tie their ████
████ divergent storylines together as much as the themes that are ████
████ common to each. In the end, the score is as much a unifying force ████
████ as Peter Boyle's deft editing and, most importantly, Woolf's Mrs. ████
████ Dalloway, which was originally to be called The Hours. The CD ████
████ booklet includes liner notes by Cunningham (focusing on his ████
████ longtime admiration for Glass), excerpts about each character ████
████ from his novel, and stills from the film. ████
