Press release
announcement
: Celebrating the
holidays in the most beautiful way we can imagine, we are very proud
to release this wonderful orchestral score from the British family
movie The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey, directed by Bill Clark and starring Tom
Berenger and Joely Richardson. The music is composed by Guy Farley,
one of UK's most interesting new composers with whom we previously
worked on the release of Land of the Blind last year. The melodic score for The
Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey
once again showcases the composer's Georges Delerue-like sensibility
when it comes to writing memorable themes, and the score has a
special way of combining a magical fairy-tale feel with a sense of
intimacy and reflection. The film, which is based on the Award
winning book by Susan Wojciechowski, was released on DVD in the US
on October 23, 2007.
Plot
Summary:
When a
broken hearted boy loses the treasured wooden nativity set that
links him to his dead father, his worried mother persuades a lonely
ill-tempered woodcarver to create a replacement, and to allow her
son to watch him work on it. The commission takes their relationship
to unexpected places as the young client makes greater and more
difficult demands of the woodcarver's ability, and as Christmas
approaches, the three struggle to come to terms with each other,
their painful memories and the process of putting their unhappiness
behind
them.
