'Big Love: Hymnal' represents Byrne's fourth outing into the world of film & television scoring. Included on the disc are expanded cues, unused pieces of score, and a haunting rendition of the Elvis Presley classic, "Blue Hawaii".
Known primarily for his postmodern pop music, former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne stretches his wings with this score to the hit HBO series 'Big Love', a collection of emotion-filled character themes & story motifs from the show's second season. Inspired by the classic scores of Bernard Herrmann + Nino Rota, Byrne pays homage to his musical heroes with a range of instrumentation, including guitars, flugelhorns, violins, and synthesizers. In keeping with the show's theme - that of a man & his polygamist Mormon family adapting to the neighborhood and world around them - many of Byrne's pieces are based on traditional Mormon hymns.
