Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
CALVARY
Music Composed by
Patrick Cassidy
“Brendan Gleeson gives a performance of monumental soul … This literate, beautifully crafted picture should translate near-certain critical plaudits into a distinguished arthouse reception worldwide.” —Variety
CALVARY is the new film from acclaimed writer/director John Michael McDonagh (The Guard), and stars Brendan Gleeson (The Guard, Harry Potter), Chris O’Dowd (Moone Boy, Bridesmaids), Kelly Reilly (Sherlock Holmes, Flight), Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones, The Wire), Dylan Moran (Run Fat Boy Run, Shaun of the Dead), Marie-Josée Croze (The Diving Bell and The Butterfly, Maelstrom) and Isaach De Bankolé (The Diving Bell and The Butterfly, Machetero). CALVARY also features a host of other well known Irish actors including Domhnall Gleeson (Anna Karenina, Shadow Dancer), Pat Shortt and David Wilmot.
Calvary’s Father James is the flipside to The Guard’s Sergeant Gerry Boyle. A good man intent on making the world a better place, he is continually shocked and saddened by the spiteful and confrontational inhabitants of his small country town. After being threatened during confession, he must battle the dark forces closing in around him.
Celebrated Irish composer Patrick Cassidy — renowned for his acclaimed works based on Irish mythology — has here created a powerfully emotional and spiritual score, certain to be one of the most talked-about of the year.
CALVARY opens in The U.K. and Ireland on April 11, and arrives in American cinemas this August.

WOW! I have been trying to play catch up on a LOT of scores that I haven't had time to listen to and after one after another of music that is just bland, I put this in and I'm like HOLY CRAP! A nice theme and a lot of really gorgeous music. I must have listened to about 20 scores that were, well, boring and bland and this baby comes on.
Pick this up. If you are like me, majority of modern film music is, well boring, I think you will like this little gem.

I haven't listened to the CD yet, but watching the film I thought it was one of the better new scores I've heard onscreen this year (and it's such a joy to be able to see a film with a score that seems, well...musical).
(I specified "new scores" since I've seen Ten Commandments, Mysterious Island and Poseidon Adventure in theaters in the last few months, and it's damn tough to compete with the likes of those).
