I love the reverent tone throughout and the incredible music May 8, The animation is stunning. March 13, Prince gives great emotional depth to the story We also see a few seconds with him in Egypt during his November trip to the region with Katzenberg and about a dozen others.
This segment on him shows what I might call the "focused" Stephen, so it's only a tiny window on the guy and his work but I think it gives people who have never met him a little bit of a sense of who he is, in the context of one of his favorite projects. We also see Steve Hickner and others explaining the significance of Stephen's contribution to the film. The whole feature will really add to your awe of what is already an awe-inspiring film.

Many nights we've prayed With no proof anyone could hear- In our hearts a hopeful song We barely understood. Now we are not afraid- Although we know there's much to fear. We were moving mountains long before we knew we could! There can be miracles When you believe- Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill.
Who knows what miracles You can achieve When you believe Somehow you will, You will when you believe. In this time of fear, When prayer so often proved in vain, Hope seemed like the summer birds Too swiftly flown away. Yet now I'm standing here With heart so full Ii can't explain, Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say. There can be miracles When you believe- Though hope is frail, It's hard to kill. Who knows what miracles You can achieve When you believe Somehow you will- Now you will, You will when you believe.
You will when you believe. They don't always happen when you ask. And it's easy to give in to your fear. But when you're blinded by your pain, Can't see your way clear through the rain A small, but still resilient voice Says help is very near. Many nights we've prayed With no proof anyone could hear In our hearts a hopeful song We barely understood Now we are not afraid Although we know there's much to fear We were moving mountains long Before we knew we could.
There can be miracles When you believe Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill Who knows what miracles You can achieve When you believe somehow you will You will when you believe. Easy to despair When all you hear is fear and lies Easy just to run and hide Too frightened to begin But if we dare to dare Don't wait for answers from the skies Each of us can look inside And hear this song within:.
They don't always happen when you ask And it's easy to give in to your fear But when you're blinded by your faith Can't see your way clear through the rain A small but still resilient voice Says hope is very near.
For fans looking for the original score by Hans Zimmer for The Prince of Egypt , a completely satisfying listening experience is an elusive prospect. The score was the final entry in a string of quality production by Zimmer dating back to The Lion King.
While the major assignments continued to roll in after , Zimmer's scores would be more and more diluted by redundancy and a reliance on credited secondary writers. Interestingly, though, this score represented Zimmer's second Middle Eastern score in his previous three efforts at the time, and even though it was composed for a completely different genre of film, The Prince of Egypt expands stylistically on some of the ethnic traits heard in The Peacemaker 's Sarajevo material.
In some ways, Zimmer's fears about the appropriateness of his music were realized, while in other regards, he succeeded very well.
His themes for the film are diverse, covering eight different characters and plot elements. But his enunciation of these themes isn't as strong as necessary to truly identify specific themes with those ideas.
The only themes that stand out among the eight are those for God, Ramses, and the Egyptians. The Egyptian theme, heard most prominently in the last half of "The Reprimand," will recall The Peacemaker. Additionally, Ofra Haza's vocals will, to many Western ears, sound similar to Mamak Khadem's tones from the previous score. The theme for Ramses is a bold, prototypical Zimmer expression of gloom, existing prominently in "Goodbye Brother" and "Cry.
Singular moments of thematic complexity are littered throughout The Prince of Egypt , though Zimmer's heavy instrumentation can obscure them. The overlapping of the God and Egyptian themes in the fourth minute of "The Burning Bush" is a highlight, though.
The score's only moment of disjointed pounding is late in "Red Sea," an unfortunate slip back into Zimmer's action-oriented comfort zone. A few specific aspects of the score's production should be discussed to fairly evaluate Zimmer's work.
First, whether you like it or not, the composer's trademark style of a masculine rendering prevails throughout the recording. Despite the contributions by solo and ensemble voices, as well as an array of specialty Middle Eastern instruments, the synthetic backing to the orchestral recordings, or perhaps the usual mixing of that recording to replace the organic sound with a harsh electronic edge, causes the score to lose some of its authenticity given the topic.
At some moments, Zimmer excels past this habit, but The Prince of Egypt is, on the whole, extremely consistent with his occasionally overbearing 's style of simplistic bombast, and this will bother some listeners who are not convinced of the match with this subject matter.
In terms of Middle Eastern flavor, the minor-key cliches are there, but they aren't as obvious as Alan Menken's similar use in Aladdin. Both the scores for The Lion King and The Prince of Egypt rely on wholesale awe to float their major cues, with scope and straight forward beauty the specialty of the moment, though only the choral ensemble performances in the latter score can compete with the magical woodwind solos in the former.
Secondly, Zimmer doesn't utilize the melodies from the songs often in his underscore, creating somewhat of a disconnect between them. Another aspect of Zimmer's involvement with The Prince of Egypt that is worth mentioning is the even flow between the cast songs and the score. Their presentation on album is seamless, and this editing works because of simple fact that Zimmer's team of Media Ventures assistants arranged the accompaniment to the songs so that Zimmer's same drum pads, electric bass, and other trademark instrumental sounds existed in the songs as well.
The problem that Zimmer fans ran into with the score is that only half of its length was available on the main commercial album for the film and, as was typical for Zimmer as well, the versions of the music heard on the album did not match the mix that was used in the film.
Dreamworks initially released three major commercial albums for The Prince of Egypt , with only the official soundtrack featuring any of the music actually heard in the film.
The "Inspirational" and "Nashville" song compilations are useless to film score collectors and should be shunned. Shortly after the theatrical release of the film, Dreamworks issued "Collector's Edition" copies of The Prince of Egypt that include a short amount of music from the film in combination with songs from all three song compilations.
It was a teaser product bundled initially with toys and available only at Walmart stores, the soulless box store for the obese and destitute of America. Two versions of the short 20 to minute release exist, offering either one or two tracks of score not available on the main commercial album.
All of them have the stunning "Chariot Race" track, which not only features the romping survey of the score's themes in the first three minutes actually devoted to that scene in the film, but also tacks on the film's finale for another three minutes.
