Adventure, Fantasy, 01-Mar-2023
Nominated for a Grammy, this score by Desplat is one of our favorites. Interestingly, this main theme called 'Lily's Theme' was performed by Mai Fujisawa, daughter of Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi! This score is filled with incredible strings, vocal soloists, and triumphant yet dark themes that make the entire album and film concert experience unforgettable. Enjoy this to end your week.
