Martin Scorsese's sprawling meditation on the rise of street gangs in
19th-century New York (the roots of the modern mafia) also became another
soundtrack buff's "What If?" after the director scrapped the original orchestral
underscore of modern collaborator (Cape Fear, The Age of Innocence, Bringing Out
the Dead)/veteran scoring legend Elmer Bernstein and replaced it with this
typically rich, Robbie Robertson-supervised collection of eclectic pop, folk,
and neo-classical tracks. The latter come courtesy of three brooding excerpts
from film composer Howard Shore's previously unpremiered concert piece Brooklyn
Heights, tracks that help emphasize the film's darker emotional gravitas. Much
of the other catalog choices by Robertson and Scorsese lean on an evocative
slate of Celtic and folk-tinged selections that range from hammered dulcimers,
fiddles, and tin whistles to the spare, emotive balladry of Linda Thompson and
Shu-De; even U2's main theme, "The Hands That Built America," is cast in a
similar mold. But that Irish musical stew gets leavened by everything from the
postmodern dirges of Peter Gabriel and Jocelyn Pook to a black field hand
recording by legendary musicologist Alan Lomax and even the Chinese flavors of
"Beijing Opera Suite." It's an imaginative, compelling mix, one that
gratifyingly pushes the usually staid boundaries of what film scores can truly
encompass. --Jerry McCulley
