I started consciously noticing the phenomenon of the movie soundtrack (as opposed to just a background music in the film) after "Sabrina". Not the original one, with beloved Miss Holly ;), but the remake w/Julia Ormond. I was swept away by the "Moonlight". Despite being Sting's fan, I didn't realize he could sing like that. And then, of course, I was intrigued by the song itself - a very exquisite melody, with elegant turns, kind of bossa-novish. Composed by, let's see, some John Williams. Some?! Internet search turned up that we're looking at one of the most prominent score composers of all times. Of course I knew his work (without realizing it's his.) But I would never think the creator of the Starwars theme, Jurassic and other monumental scores has it in him to create a jewel like "Moonlight".
Thank you for your kind offer. I'm sure I'll have questions as I go deeper into the matter. :)
