This is my first post for my listening walking sessions. I have been walking since my heart attack in 2018… I average around 2 1/2 – 3 hrs of walking a week. During the walk I would listen to a variety of genres of music (mostly soundtracks) and find myself learning by analyzing the orchestration, arrangement and emotion of the music while I’m walking.
Today’s listening session is Harry Greyson-Williams’s score of “The Equalizer”
Synopsis
The storyline of this movie portrays a retired special force agent name Robert McCall who faked his own death and now lives a quiet life; he eventually comes out of retirement to save a young girl who happened to be involved with a brutal Russian gang and therefore takes justice in his own hands; he is the only one with the commando skills to do the task to defeat the Russian gang.
The Score
A very modern action drama hybrid orchestral score, Harry’s music compliments the storyline that creates lots of emotions that evokes anticipation, distance, reflection, drama, suspense, justice, and vengeance. This score at times can have a dark sinister side to it and then meditative keeping you engage emotionally with the main character of the film.
