“SHE
WALKS IN BEAUTY” PERFORMED BY
DECCA
RECORDING ARTIST
SISSEL
(
A favorite since her lilting vocals enhanced James Horner’s Academy Award®-winning score to the all-time blockbuster Titanic in 1997, Sissel will once again win hearts with her performance of “She Walks In Beauty” (heard as the end title song in Vanity Fair). The piece was composed and produced by Danna – working from a poem by Lord George Gordon Byron. Sissel comments, “It's one of the most enjoyable recordings I've been part of. I saw some scenes from the movie and immediately fell in love with it. I was played a demo of the song and one hour later I had recorded the song – the whole process from start to finish only took two hours. It was an amazing experience!”
Among the other vocal tracks on the soundtrack are “El Salam,” performed by Hakim; “Gori Re/O Fair One,” performed by Shankar Mahadevan and Richa Sharma; and “Now Sleeps The Crimson Petal” and “Over The Mountains/The Great Adventurer,” performed by Custer LaRue and produced by Danna. The soundtrack harmonies lend themselves perfectly to this sumptuous film. Danna has composed a relaxing yet enthralling mix of timeless rhythms, lush orchestral strings, and memorable melodies.

Danna previously collaborated with Mira Nair as the composer of the scores for Monsoon
Wedding and Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love. He is recognized as one of
the pioneers of combining non-Western sound sources with orchestral and
electronic minimalism in music for films, which include Ang Lee’s The Ice
Storm and Ride with the Devil, John Greyson’s Lilies,
Gillies Mackinnon’s Regeneration, Joel Schumacher’s 8MM, James
Mangold’s Girl, Interrupted, Scott Hicks’ Hearts in Atlantis,
Denzel Washington’s Antwone Fisher, Jim Simpson’s The Guys,
and Billy Ray’s Shattered Glass. Danna has enjoyed a long artistic
collaboration with filmmaker Atom Egoyan, scoring seven features, most recently Ararat.
Those scores have garnered him several Canadian film awards. He
served for five years as composer-in-residence at the McLaughlin Planetarium in
Vanity
Fair
introduces a new audience to the beautiful, funny, passionate, and calculating
Becky (played by Witherspoon). The daughter of a starving English artist
and a French chorus girl, Becky is orphaned at a young age. Even as a child, she
yearns for a more glamorous life than her birthright promises. As she leaves
Miss Pinkerton’s Academy at Chiswick, Becky resolves to conquer English
society by any means possible. She deploys all of her wit, guile, and sexuality
as she makes her way up into high society during the first quarter of the 19th
century.
