Original score from the 2010 history drama feature film directed by Daniel Benmayor, starring Juan José Ballesta, Vincent Perez and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey.

THE STORY: 1808. The Napoleonic Army suffers its first defeat at the hands of a single man: a drummer boy who used the Montserrat mountains to echo his drums and send the enemy troops into a panicked retreat. When the news reaches Napoleon, he furiously orders the captain of the Imperial Guard to bring back the head of the young hero responsible for his army’s defeat. The captain gathers together a band of his best and most deadly men and so begins the hunt to death of the soldier who was to become a legend.

THE SCORE: Bruc is a big, epic score where Capellas combines the forces of a large orchestra and choir with ethnic instrumentation (duduk, bouzouki) and ethereal solo voice (performed by Beth). Bruc takes place in the early 19th century and tells the story of the manhunt for the hero who single-handedly put a stop to Napoleon’s victorious march across Europe.
