Sleeve with Song Lyrics
Believed
for years to be lost, destroyed or even buried deep beneath a motorway, this
reissue contains original music to the cult 1973 film The Wicker Man.
Based
on the themes of fertile pre-Christian practices of pagan Britain, the
plot did not follow the predictable formula of 1960’s British horror movies.
The equally non-formulaic music score was provided by talented songwriter Paul
Giovanni, and his assistant Gary Carpenter.
Given only six weeks to research, write, and record the soundtrack, Paul
relied on the rich traditions of Celtic music to create a brilliant collection
of psychedelic folk songs underpinned by Wiccan verse.
“The
music to the Wicker Man is quite extraordinary. I think it is probably the best
music I have heard in a film” - Christopher Lee
