The Addams Family Soundtrack - Give My Creatures Life
Lakeshore Records will releaseTheAddamsFamily—Original Motion Picture Soundtrackdigitally on October 11, featuring a whopping 41 tracks Composed by Mychael Danna and Jeff Danna (The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, Tyrant), the score bucks tradition, blending non-western music with an orchestral score. Also, sadly, there is no “Addams Groove” performed by M.C. Hammer.
Regarding their score, Mychael and Jeff Danna said
“In Conrad Vernon’s and Greg Tiernan’s visually lavish film, they take us back to theAddamsFamily ’s old country' European roots as the film begins its journey. Musically we relished the opportunity to explore things from that perspective, and arrived at Gypsy Music as a way to access the history and the dark humor of the family as they migrate to America to start their new lives. Combining gypsy instrumentation and modalities from Spain and Eastern Europe with a cinematic orchestra, gave us a tremendously colorful and lively palette to work with. Adding a dash of large gothic organ and musical saw to the brew, we created a sound that moved easily between Large & Frightening and Whimsical – Gothic and Ironic. We felt it appropriate to have moments where we honored Vic Mizzy’s popular 1964AddamsFamily tv theme song, a tune that is linked inextricably with the iconicAddamscharacters. We enjoyed putting that music into a new light, with gypsy instruments and time signatures, and sometimes the full orchestra pounding out the familiar 4 note refrain.”
The Addams Familyopens in theaters October 11. See the full soundtrack track list below.
