Filmtracks: Hero (Tan Dun) Dun is extremely loyal to his title theme, which may, in the end, be the most pronounced weakness of this score (as well as the previous one), and if the romanticism of this theme in all of its variants does not touch your soul, then you could in for a very long listen. But Dun does offer the passages of war dedicated to his huge armies, and in cues such as "Warriors" and "At the Emperor's Palace," the KODO Drummers are paired with magnificent single-note blasts of brass, and the fight sequences predictably rely heavily on block-busting and stick-tapping percussion to maintain their rhythmic steam. Dun is not necessarily altering Hero for that specific purpose, but the more warlike nature of this second score causes the brass and percussion to be more recognizable than the dominant string material typically inherent in Dun's writing. www.filmtracks.com /titles/hero.html   (72 words)
