The Times Online has a new interview with Patrick Doyle in which the composer talks about working on the '
Goblet of Fire' soundtrack.
Quote:
“The Scottishness comes through in my music,” says Doyle, 52, who is now based in London. “There’s a musical phrase in Harry Potter before one of the challenges that’s very like a Scottish snap — it’s an octave leap thing."
Quote:
“I’m particularly proud of my score for Harry Potter because it’s the biggest commercial picture I’ve ever done,” says Doyle. “It’s an enormously high-profile project and the pressure is substantial. I’ve done enough now to be confident I could pull something out of the bag, otherwise I wouldn’t have taken on the job. It’s been hard work but hugely enjoyable and it’s made me a bit of god among my kids.”
Quote:
“I’ve never written so many different themes, waltzes, dances and motifs,” he says. “It’s been a great opportunity to explore new ideas.”
Quote:
“The art is to choose your moments. There was one scene in Harry Potter that stood up very strongly because the plot was so great. The temptation to add music had to be avoided.”
