Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

To cover the locale of Mount Everest and veering emotions of the climbers who sought excitement, a bit of fame, and the trip of a lifetime before being stranded by a vicious snowstorm, Dario Marianelli works with an interesting combination of small string orchestra and light yet densely layered percussion textures.<\/p>\n

In the early cues, there\u2019s heavy use of clacking backbeats and strong, bold tones on celli, and repeated waves of ascending \/ descending motifs in \u201cThe Lowdown,\u201d which evoke drifting clouds and chilly mountain mists.<\/p>\n

For the trekking montages, Marianelli shifts chords to reflect moments of euphoria, of arduously aiming for a distant, safer endpoint; for that midsection of the score, the sounds are more subdued, focusing for a time on elongated thematic material and using less aggressive rhythmic figures.<\/p>\n

The lengthy \u201cSummit\u201d has gorgeous violin placed atop a marching rhythm, and the early \u201cArriving at the Temple\u201d features some traditional instruments (metallic percussion and primal woody tones), some of which are discretely worked into the epic \u201cTime Runs Out\u201d with flanging electronics, but Everest<\/b> is a little repetitive, except in cues clearly designed to support pivotal junctures in the film.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fine work that ultimately winds down with an appropriate mix of gravitas and triumph (the clatter-filled and kinetic \u201cChopper Rescue\u201d), with a beautiful performance by the orchestra and fine sound engineering.<\/p>\n
