Film composer Patrick Doyle sings Shakespeare's lines himself and... hence also acts in Kenneth Branagh's Shakespearean movies.

i do genuinely hope you enjoy :)

p.s. my fave is totally track #5: "the break", minute 5:28–7:51 in the upload. it has all the little symbolic motifs AND THE OBOE BREAKS MY HEART BC I KNOW HOW THE STORY'S GONNA GO AHH MY GOD

if anyone's nerdy enough, i'll write up an explanation of all the symbolism woven into the themes and instrumentation in the soundtrack lmao (im gonna have to do it anyway at some point so :shrug:)

((oh and if anyone wants book excerpts to read with the different tracks, check here, but be warned! bc i haven't actually written the parts of the book that pertain to tracks 5 and 6, there will be spoilers in the form of a rough outline in the excerpt doc, if that's smthn you care about!))

A guy walking down the aisle gave me a look of deep sympathy but I didn’t want to take my headphones off to explain that I’m completely fine, just comically easily stirred emotionally and “King of Pride Rock” had come up on shuffle.

Howl's Moving Castle may not be my favorite Ghibli film, but it's absolutely one of my favorite Hisaishi scores

For a lead actor to take an interest in the score and supply some form of inspiration, that has to be a pretty rare occurrence.

He [Tom Hiddleston] didn’t do it in a pushy way. He was like, “Only if it’s helpful.” So he was very polite about it, and I was really delighted to have his insight. And it was quite funny because I think people just thought I was an extra, but when Tom came on set and he walked over to me, all the extras [did a double take]. (Laughs.) So I was hidden until that moment.

The Night Walker (1964)

"Have you ever dreamed that you were flying, flying into strange places, far beyond the worlds we know? Yes, that's it: fly. Fly! Maybe you can get away after all... fly! Fly! No. There's no escape. Now you're falling, falling... and they say if you ever complete that fall in a dream, you'll be dead. Yes, there's death in your dreams, too. Death and blood and the realm beyond death - the realm of eternity."
