Original soundtrack from George A. Romero moderday take on knights, chivalry, rivalry, starring Ed Harris. Donald Rubinstein centers with trio of musicians to recreate courtly period flavor, then surrounds with larger orchestral score plus slightly jazz-ish colors from sax, electric guitar, vibes. Some nice medieval dance pieces also play role: energetic "Bravery" for fiddle, pennywhistle, drums just one such highlight. Generous booklet with highly informative notes by Daniel Schweiger complete nice package.
