A Soldier's Story - Musical Score

Musical Score

Herbie Hancock delivered an interpretative impromptu score. Patti Labelle and Larry Riley, who plays guitar, wrote and performed their own songs. The blues played a large role in the film's music.

Unfortunately there was no known consideration given to the production of an official soundtrack due to the aforementioned budgetary restraints -- this, despite the film's relative box office success.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or score:

    I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
    When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
    With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
    Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves,
    The skies, the fountains, every region near
    Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard
    So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I have a Vision of the Future, chum.
    The workers’ flats in fields of soya beans
    Tower up like silver pencils, score on score.
    Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
