Maestro Williams\u2019 masterwork encompasses the depths and heights of human experience, unleashing unforgettable moments of anguish and uplift as it supports the film\u2019s true chronicling of the 1839 African slave ship revolt abord the La Amistad and its subsequent landmark U.S. court case.<\/p>\n<p>A breathtaking fusion of orchestral Americana with African percussion rhythms and vocal chanting, this important John Williams score finally gets a definitive release with this deluxe 2-CD presentation, meticulously produced, edited and mastered by Mike Matessino, in consultation with the composer and director.<\/p>\n<p>Remastered in high resolution from studio master elements, Disc One and Disc Two of this program features the film Score Presentation, which expands the original 1997 soundtrack album by almost double its length, including cues not used in the film. The score presentation is followed on Disc Two by 50 minutes of bonus tracks including source music, concert arrangements, and alternates &#8211; some of which offer completely different approaches than the film versions. The exclusive, in-depth liner notes are by writer Jeff Bond, with the packaging\u2019s elegant design by Jim Titus. This is a limited edition release of 5000 units.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TRACK LISTING<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SCORE PRESENTATION\u00a01:45:04<\/strong><br \/>\n1 Introduction And Retribution 4:40<br \/>\n2 July 4, 1839 4:04<br \/>\n3 Steering East 1:27<br \/>\n4 The Capture 5:00<br \/>\n5 Introducing John Quincy Adams 5:15<br \/>\n6 Meeting Of The Minds 3:58<br \/>\n7 Counsel Meets Client 1:36<br \/>\n8 The Ship Remembers 5:32<br \/>\n9 Visiting Adams 1:32<br \/>\n10 What Is Their Story? 3:44<br \/>\n11 Learning To Count 1:57<br \/>\n12 Tale Of The Lion\u2019s Tooth 5:48<br \/>\n13 The Capture Of Cinqu\u00e9 4:03<br \/>\n14 The Crossing 4:41<br \/>\n15 Tales Of Horror 7:40<br \/>\n16 Discovering The Bible 5:05<br \/>\n17 Prisoners\u2019 Song 1:33<br \/>\n18 The Letter To Massachusetts 2:09<br \/>\n19 Cinqu\u00e9\u2019s Legal Mind 2:26<br \/>\n20 African Violet 5:33<\/p>\n<p><strong>Disc One Time: 78:10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>DISC 2<br \/>\nSCORE PRESENTATION CONT\u2019D<\/strong><br \/>\n1 Adams\u2019 Address To The Court 7:21<br \/>\n2 Adams\u2019 Summation (Film Version) 3:01<br \/>\n3 The Verdict 5:10<br \/>\n4 Liberation Of Lomboko: Dry Your Tears, Afrika 2:17<br \/>\n5 Going Home 2:05<br \/>\n6 Dry Your Tears, Afrika (Reprise) 3:37<br \/>\n7 The Long Road To Justice 3:19<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADDITIONAL MUSIC 49:53<\/strong><br \/>\n8 Cinqu\u00e9\u2019s Theme 4:13<br \/>\n9 Introduction (Alternate) 1:12<br \/>\n10 The Capture (Alternate) 5:02<br \/>\n11 Harbor Tavern 3:05<br \/>\n12 Cinqu\u00e9\u2019s Theme (Solo Flute) 2:07<br \/>\n13 Meeting Of The Minds (Instrumental Version) 3:45<br \/>\n14 The Ship Remembers (Alternate) 5:26<br \/>\n15 What Is Their Story?
