OK, does anyone besides me think that this is one of the most underappreciated scores of the last five years or so? It's just a wonderful fantasy score that was overshadowed by coming out in the same year as THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, as well as the fact that its film was actually a TV film as opposed to a theatrical release.
There's a lot of good oboe playing, for whoever was interested in that on another thread....
I couldn’t find another thread about this soundtrack, so I decided to refresh this one. I’ve played the CD the first time in several years today. Wow! Such a wonderful piece of art. There are no words to describe the beauty of this music. It’s majestic, magnificent, very melancholic, and powerful. It's an album that you can play as a background for a first date and have a guarantee that it will be the second Great vocals and choirs, wonderful oboe parts, unforced Celtic mood. Lee Holdridge is really a master.

Holdridge is a master, both in the film music and classical venues, and one of the nicest guys one could meet, a real gentleman. You describe this score quite accurately, methinks! :-)
I think "Morgaine's Journey" is as strong a piece of music as any cue ever written for any movie, TV or otherwise. It's a master class on how a piece can work both dramatically and musically.
I first heard this on the Varese 25th anniversary collection, and immediately had to purchase the music. Still my favorite part of the score, though it is all first rate.
