David Newman - Serenity (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack / Deluxe Edition) '2024

Tracks list

Serenity (2005) was the feature film sequel of Joss Whedon’s short-lived
space-western TV series, Firefly (2002–03). When fans lamented the loss
of the canceled show, Universal rescued the titular spaceship and its
charismatic crew (including Nathan Fillion, Morena Baccarin and Alan Tudyk) for
a big-screen adventure written and directed by Whedon.

Scoring Serenity was David Newman, whose vast and diverse filmography lent him
well-prepared for anything the film might throw at him. From worldbuilding to
character comedy to harrowing action, the score runs the gamut—but always
hews to a sense of family and “home” for the Serenity and her
offbeat crew. Solo cello and folksy percussion are found alongside eerie
“ethnic” approaches, which turn dark and brutal for the barbaric
villains, the Reavers, as the film explores their secret origin. But Newman
balances the weirdness with familiar, dramatic orchestral scoring, ultimately
creating an eclectic tapestry for Whedon’s unique vision.

Varèse Sarabande’s 2005 soundtrack CD for Serenity was released as a
23-track, 50-minute program. This Deluxe Edition expands the album into a 2CD
set, with 54 tracks featuring 90 minutes of prime David Newman sci-fi action,
adventure, and emotion, as chronicled in new liner notes by Daniel Schweiger.
