More Info:
David Byrne's Big Love: Hymnal contains the original instrumental score to the 2nd season of the popular HBO series Big Love along with other recent compositions. This collection contains the first new songs from David Byrne since his 2004 release Grown Backwards. "I had an idea to base my scoring loosely on Mormon hymns. That would presumably hint at the unspoken spiritual underpinnings that motivate many of the characters actions" or justify them, in some characters' cases. I got hymnals and Mormon Hymns CDs, read up on the Mormon Church and began to practice writing 'fake' hymns."Reviews:
''Big Love: Hymnal – Music Written for the HBO Series Plus Other Recent Compositions'' is a soundtrack album by David Byrne including music composed for the HBO television drama ''Big Love'' released on August 19, 2008. Byrne has written on his journal that it is not "a pop record by any stretch," but a soundtrack featuring lush instrumentation, including horns and strings, with minimal percussion. It is the first release by Byrne's independent record label Todo Mundo, although ''Everything That Happens Will Happen Today'' was released in digital format one day prior to ''Big Love: Hymnal''. - Wikipedia
