Art of Film and Television Music – Native Americans have
always had a strong voice when it came to protecting the
environment. So when a bill came down through Congress
that would help stop the depletion of the remaining virgin
forests in the United States, songwriter Robby Romero
decided to take action. He directed, wrote, and scored an
experimental film (on the Sundance Channel) called Hidden
Medicine. Romero has a
great passion about his performance, and the lyrics are
all geared towards the subject matter of the film. “Sacred
Circle” is about the cyclical relationship between
nature and man. “Dream Catcher” is about hope
for the future, and “Lonesome River” is a great
ballad with a really good saxophone solo. There are three
traditional cues of score on the album. “Feel the
Wind Blow,” “Purple Flower,” and “Roots
of Peace” are all done with Native American styling.
I think it is well worth looking into. — Dan
