  Filmtracks: Troy (Gabriel Yared/James Horner)
Yared contends that he was offered no chance to remix or rerecord any of his music, with Warner Brothers executives summarily dismissing the entire work as being too incompatible with their notions of what the score should sound like.
Yared made sure that both fans and members of the industry were completely informed on the circumstances of his Troy firing; his choice to write a lengthy open letter about the event was most unorthodox and, some would say, a professional faux pas.
Yared's, on the other hand, plays like a work of art that was considered and reconsidered, tested and retested, recorded and rerecorded over a great number of late nights and coffee breaks.

Yared's compositions have been crafted in a way that bears some stylistic similarities to the works of the aforementioned composers but there has been no pillaging of melodic or harmonic material.

 Filmtracks: Possession (Gabriel Yared)
Possession: (Gabriel Yared) Following his critical success with the contemporary Nurse Betty, director Neil LaBute offers the A.S. Byatt tale Possession of two university professors who uncover a plethora of love letters written by two Victorian era poets who are attempting to pursue a romance despite the strict societal mores of the time.
Yared writes the vocal performance in Possession with the same kind of immeasurable solace that was heard in the Sinead O'Connor performance of "Lullaby for Cain" in The Talented Mr.
Instead of continuing with a similar sound, Yared --probably with the blessing of the director, LaBute-- draws parallels between the two pairs in the consistency of orchestral style and theme in both worlds.

 Possession by Gabriel Yared @ Cinemusic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Gabriel Yared's tranquil and romantic score to Neil LaBute's period drama, Possession, evokes less a historic time period than a specific period in Hollywood film music.
While Yared's sound, characterised by fluid orchestrations and hypnotic string work, is ever-present, the acute listener is treated to a score that is at once romantic and delicate, but is underlined by a tense, rigid sadness.
Instead, Yared has fashioned a singular theme for his score, which is a waltz-like eleven-note motif that bears a striking resemblance to the prominent motif in Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.

 ARTICULO WOLFGANG PETERSEN VS. GABRIEL YARED: LA AUTÉNTICA "GUERRA DE TROYA"
Como muchos aficionados ya saben, el compositor libanés Gabriel Yared ha sido despedido hace unas semanas de la superproducción Troya, dirigida por el alemán Wolfgang Petersen, en beneficio de James Horner, que deberá aplicarse a fondo para tenerla lista a tiempo (recordemos que la película se estrena el 14 de Mayo en EE.UU.).
Muchos de ellos, incrédulos de que Yared pudiera abarcar un proyecto de estas características -que parece salirse bastante del tipo de partituras que acostumbra a realizar-, tuvieron claro que éste no duraría mucho al frente del proyecto.
Al menos, Yared, el cual se muestra muy orgulloso de su trabajo y lo considera su mejor obra hasta la fecha, ha sabido ser diplomático de cara a la galería.

 Possession
Looking at the score objectively, one could argue that Gabriel Yared is merely re-treading the lush, romantic ground he covered in scores such as The English Patient, City of Angels and Message in a Bottle.
As with most of Yared's popular mainstream fare, Possession is scored for full orchestra, with special parts for solo violin, solo clarinet, and piano performed by Yared himself.
The neo-classical 'Etude to Christabel' highlights Yared's own pianoforte performance and knack for historical accuracy through music, and the whole thing is topped off by 'Possesso', a heartbreakingly beautiful operatic aria based on the Ash and La Motte theme, with Italian lyrics by Peter Gosling and Michela Antonello, and performed by Spanish tenor Ramón Vargas.

Voor een psychologisch drama, valt het niet mee om in te schatten wat voor muzikale score hier nodig is. Het is naar mijn mening een van de moeilijkste genres om een soundtrack voor te schrijven.

Gabriel Yared is of course best known for his high profile film music, scores like The English Patient, The Talented Mr Ripley, Possession and Cold Mountain.
On his composition style and inspiration, Yared commented, “I first read Goethe’s play to immerse myself in the spirit of the story…I focused on the innocent, poignant figure of Marie.
Later, abandoned and alone, Marie anguishes, and, in a grotesque nightmare, she hallucinates that a figure descends a rope ladder to her bedside, a figure resembling a huge fl spider that makes love to her before abandoning her.

 Autumn in New York (Gabriel Yared)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Gabriel Yared, ondertussen toch wel een van de meest subtiele romantische componisten die er maar niet genoeg van krijgt: The English Patient, City of Angels, Message in A Bottle en Autumn in New York zijn allen uitermate mooie, zachte maar steeds ontzettend passionele scores.
Autumn in New York ligt helemaal in het verlengde van zijn stijl en verwacht je dus weer aan veel violen, harp, klarinet en piano, samen in een uitermate ontspannend concept gegoten.
Yared creëert dit door met name vele violen, piano, harp en houtblazers op de achtergrond en afwisselend saxofoon, hobo en klarinet op de voorgrond.
