Review by Stuart Kushner

Bande Originale Du Film Le Nom De La Rose: A Sonic Dive into Medieval Mysteries James Horner’s Bande Originale Du Film Le Nom De La Rose isn’t just your run-of-the-mill movie score. Released in 1986 under Virgin Records, this gem straddles genres like Stage & Screen, Folk, and even dips its toes into Ambient and Neo-Romantic vibes. If you’re looking for something that feels both ancient and cinematic, this is it. It’s the kind of album that makes you wanna light a candle, put on a cloak, and wander through misty monasteries at midnight. Let’s talk tracks—because honestly, not all soundtracks stick with you. But two standouts here? Oh boy, they’ll stay lodged in your brain like a Gregorian chant on repeat. First up: “Veni Sancte Spiritus.” This track hits hard, opening with haunting choral swells that feel like stepping into a cold stone church where time stands still. The Latin chanting gives it an otherworldly vibe, but there’s also this subtle tension underneath—a creeping sense of mystery. You can almost picture monks shuffling around dimly lit halls, whispering secrets only they understand. It’s eerie yet beautiful, like staring at old stained glass windows while thunder rumbles outside. Then there’s “The Discovery,” which flips the mood entirely. This one’s got more energy, almost playful compared to the somber tone of some other pieces. Strings dance lightly over deep undertones, creating this push-and-pull between curiosity and danger. Listening to it feels like sneaking into a forbidden library late at night, heart pounding as you realize you’ve stumbled onto something big. I mean, who doesn’t love a good musical cliffhanger? Horner really knew how to craft moments that stick with you long after the music fades. His ability to blend Medieval influences with modern scoring techniques is what sets this apart from other film soundtracks. Sure, he wore multiple hats here—he composed AND produced—but credit where it’s due: dude nailed it. And props to Neue Constantin Films for the moody cover art; it perfectly matches the vibe inside. What strikes me most about this album is how timeless it feels. Even though it came out nearly four decades ago, listening to it now feels fresh. Maybe it’s because medieval themes never truly go out of style (hello, Game of Thrones). Or maybe it’s just that Horner tapped into something universal—a yearning for stories larger than ourselves, told through music that echoes across centuries. So yeah, if you’re into soundtracks that tell their own tales without needing visuals, grab this one. Just don’t blame me if you start daydreaming about cryptic manuscripts and shadowy abbots. Oh, and fun fact: apparently, James Horner once said he wanted his music to “linger like smoke.” Well, mission accomplished, buddy. Your notes are still swirling around out there, haunting us all these years later.

Interesting fact about Album

Did you know? The album *Bande Originale Du Film Le Nom De La Rose* by James Horner isn’t just your typical movie soundtrack. Released in 1986 in France, it blends haunting medieval chants, ambient tones, and neo-romantic orchestration to bring the mysterious world of Umberto Eco’s novel to life. Tracks like *Veni Sancte Spiritus* and *Beata Viscera* feel like they’re whispering secrets from another time. It’s wild how Horner captured both the film’s eerie vibe and its deeply spiritual undertones. Plus, he didn’t just compose—it looks like he produced the whole thing too. Not bad for a guy who wore so many hats!

Unfortunately, I can only repeat what hardly anyone at the Academy was able to appreciate around 1986: a true musical masterpiece - universes ahead of its time! Thank you James, for this wonderful work. May your magic of music accompany us forever.

One of the grandest and most haunting scores ever written. It unites with the film so wholly and magnificently and one can not live without the other.
Thank you Annaud & Horner for this beautiful masterpiece.

Maestro verdaderamente no creo ser merecedor de tu mirada. Nos hemos desviado en algún momento del tiempo. Guianos a la luz y líbranos de las fuerzas del error.

Director Jean-Jacques Annaud once told me that the last letter which James Horner ever sent to him read a little too uncannily like a goodbye letter. Horner's death was officially ruled an accident, but we know that he was miserable scoring so much generic Hollywood product in his final years. He and Annaud didn't particularly get along during the making of this film, but a magnificent score resulted nevertheless, and he and Annaud did get to have more pleasant reunions on some later films -- most notably, I think, on the score for "Wolf Totem".
