James Newton Howard - Peter Pan (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) '2003/2023

Tracks list

The producers were wise in their choosing of James Newton Howard to compose the
score for P.J. Hogan's big screen rendering of J.M. Barrie's famous children's
book Peter Pan. The former Elton John keyboardist's work on M. Night Shyamalan's
Sixth Sense and Signs showcased his ability to blend suspense and whimsy, and
skillfully paint a scene from a child actor's point of view. For Peter Pan,
Howard builds the dreamy world of "Neverland" with harps, choirs, and the
occasional keyboard flourish, fleshing out the characters with fairy tale
precision, and creating a believable realm in the same fashion that John
Williams handled the magical world of Harry Potter. The string motifs he chooses
for Wendy and Peter are steeped in the bittersweet confusion of sexual
awakening, and the eternally youthful Lost Boys are treated with a light hand,
hinting at their enviable immortality. "Howard" goes to great lengths to capture
the myth of Peter Pan, never dumbing it down. His is a darker take on a story
that has spent years in the hands of cartoonists, and it delivers the tale a
much-needed edge.
