When I saw the wonderful presentation of the reading of the Declaration of Independence before this year's Super Bowl, I immediately recognized the background music chosen for the presentation as being part of the soundtrack from "The Patriot." Not only is the movie one of my personal favorites but so is the soundtrack. Some soundtracks give you one or two really good cuts, but the soundtrack to "The Patriot" is solidly good throughout the various parts of the score. One main motif in particular weaves through many of the tracks, but there is enough variation in tempo, instrumentation, etc. that it's effective and doesn't get repetitive or boring. Written by John Williams with violin solos performed by Mark O'Connor, this is one of those "feel good" CDs that I really enjoy and find inspiring when my soul needs a bit of "lifting up" and encouragement.Read full review
John Williams has been scoring music for a long time. Since John Wayne rode the range with a bunch of kids in “The Cowboys,” John Williams’ music filled the screen with emotion. “Star Wars,” “Superman,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” the list goes on and on. But the soundtrack to “The Patriot” is one of his finest works. It is perfect for this movie…stirring and patriotic. It matches Mel Gibson’s performance perfectly. I am very happy with this product.

as always, anything mel gibson does is "first class only" - this soundtrack is no exception. even without the movie and listening just to the cd/soundtrack - the music literally "tells the story". it is an excellent composition of music - particularly if one is drawn to classical music. it is a wonderful collection of music. sometimes romantic, sometimes nostalgic, and other times just plain tells the story of the battles. a good buy for sure.
John Williams is the master of soundtracks and The Patriot soundtrack is no exception. It is a wonderful composition of classical music as only Williams can make. "The Patriot Reprise" is my favorite track with its beautiful melody and uplifting patriotic sections. If you are a Williams fan, then this soundtrack is a must have for your collection! Highly recommended!
