The A Beautiful Mind Soundtrack features music composed and conducted by Academy Award winner James Horner, with vocals performed by 15 year old singing sensation Charlotte Church.

James Horner, whose acclaimed soundtracks to Braveheart and Titanic have sold millions of copies worldwide, has composed the music to several Ron Howard films, including Apollo 13, Willow and Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas.  Horner's emotional score for A Beautiful Mind features the angelic vocals of Charlotte Church, the platinum-selling Welsh soprano, who is the youngest artist ever to reach #1 on the Billboard's Classical Chart. Church also adds her soaring vocals to "All Love Can Be," a new song played
over the film's end credits.  This beautiful new ballad was composed by Horner with lyrics by Will Jennings, who wrote "My Heart Will Go On" for Titanic.

In addition, the soundtrack album is an enhanced CD containing exclusive bonus materials including notes from the composer and director, the movie trailer and exclusive photos.

All Love Can Be 
Transcribed by VAFan

I will watch you in the darkness
Show you love will see you through
When the bad dreams wake you crying 
I'll show you all love can do
All love can do

I will watch through the night 
Hold you in my arms
Give you dreams where love will be
I will watch through the dark
'Til the morning comes
All the light I'll take you through the night to see
A light showing us all love can be

I will guard you with my bright wings
Stay 'til your heart learns to see

All love can be...

This Ron Howard film parlays the troubled story of Nobel laureate John Forbes Nash Jr., a gifted Princeton mathematics professor tormented for decades by paranoid schizophrenia, into something considerably richer than typical Hollywood triumph-against-all-odds fare. Howard has teamed here again with frequent collaborator James Horner, and it's the composer who deftly shades the film's difficult emotional landscape and helps impart a compelling humanity. Horner's first task is not inconsiderable: musically portraying the arcane realm of mathematical theorems that are the story's backdrop. In doing so, the composer leans heavily on modern minimalist technique, bright flourishes that recur briefly throughout an orchestral score that increasingly reflects Nash's bleak inner landscape in its quietly somber and brooding tones. And while Horner has frequently been accused of excessively repeating himself in his scores, the neo-minimalist gambit employed on this reflectively pastoral, postmodernist soundscape neatly nips such criticism in the bud. Nash's triumph is ultimately an intensely personal one, well reflected in Welsh soprano Charlotte Church's lilting performance of the Horner/Will Jennings ballad "All Love Can Be." This enhanced CD also features notes by the director and composer, as well as exclusive photos and the film's trailer. --Jerry McCulley

James Horner's Academy Award-, Grammy-, and Golden Globe-winning score for Titanic became the top-selling film score of all time, but the composer, neither daunted or overshadowed by that success, continues to show his stylistic diversity, as he has repeatedly in the past with his work on Braveheart and Enemy at the Gates). His latest is an elegantly complex score complementing the drama of a brilliant, schizophrenic mathematician (portrayed by Russell Crowe) recruited by the U.S. government to crack Soviet codes. For a thriller segment, "The Car Chase," a solitary, plinking piano and wordless vocalizing against an ominously swelling orchestra embody the sound of danger. The main character's downward spiral into madness is implicit in "Alicia Discovers Nash's Dark World," and is eloquently expressed by a chorus of swirling violins and muted piano chords. To illustrate the romantic and optimistic aspect of the story on "The Prize of One's Life," a harp cascades luminously, only to be capped by the otherworldly purity of Charlotte Church's soprano in "All Love Can Be" (lyrics by Will Jennings). Horner's masterful score, coupled with Crowe's compelling performance, show that A Beautiful Mind would indeed be a terrible thing to waste. - Andrew Velez
