Original score from the 2008 fantasy feature film directed by Gabor Csupo, starring Dakota Blue Richards, Juliet Stevenson and Tim Curry.

THE STORY: Maria inherits a book of secrets from her dad. She moves to her uncle’s Moonacre estate. A family curse was cast on the valley. Only Maria can break it using her book.

THE SCORE: Based on Elizabeth Goudge’s award-winning children’s book The Little White Horse, The Secret of Moonacre is an epic adventure film directed by Gabor Csupo, who made the acclaimed Walt Disney family movie Bridge to Terabithia, and starring Ioan Gruffudd, Tim Curry and Natascha McElhone. The inspired orchestral score by Christian Henson (Severance, Chasing Liberty) reflects the elegance and magic of the story, and is a colourful fantasy film score in the best of cinematic traditions. Beautiful themes, dark and foreboding suspense music, exciting action music and moments of both innocence and humour form the backbone of the soundtrack. Highly original portions of the score include glassware smashing and fingersnaps! Album also features the song “Stars” featuring Skye.
