Mark Isham's scores have been kindling the silver screen for decades, but his stylish, synth-heavy contributions to movies like Bobby and Lions for Lambs represent just one side of his talent. Equally striking is his feel for traditionally rich orchestral work, as demonstrated by the soundtracks for The Secret Life of Bees and Don't Say a Word. His pieces move gracefully between chamber ensemble arrangements and folk-influenced interludes, and in compositions like “Can You Do It” and “A Journey Begins”, Isham shows a knack for dramatising moods of inner turmoil.
