For his work in the film, Doyle earned his first nominations for the Academy Award for Best Original Score and the BAFTA Award for Best Film Music. Sony Music Entertainment released the soundtrack to Sense and Sensibility on 12 December 1995. As the story reaches its conclusion, Doyles music gradually changes from depicting youth and innocence to adulthood after Marianne survives a fever, the score shifts to representing "maturity and an emotional catharsis". The dramatic soprano Jane Eaglen also sang the song in the closing credits. As the song is sung later in the film, Ang Lee felt it portrayed Mariannes "mature acceptance". Mariannes second song, which she learns from her suitor Colonel Brandon, is adapted from a poem by Ben Jonson, and refers to discovering love in a dream and being filled with feelings of desire and guilt. The songs melody also appears in the beginning of the film and during certain points of the story marking transition. Its lyrical content represents Mariannes innocence, romantic outlook, and connection to nature, according to the Austen scholar Sue Parrill. The first songs lyrics were taken from a 17th-century poem by John Dowland entitled "Weep You No More Sad Fountains". Ang Lee felt the songs helped convey the duality of the story. She sings two songs which Doyle composed before filming began. Marianne Dashwood, one of the films protagonists, uses music as her primary expressive outlet, a characteristic that is emphasised in the film. You had this middle-class English motif, and with the music you would have occasional outbursts of emotion". Sense and Sensibility s director, Ang Lee, requested Doyle write a score that was gentle, intimate, and a reflection of "the suppressed emotions of that society".ĭoyle later described the film as "more stifled the music had to be suppressed to match what was happening onscreen. Thompson hired him to score the 1995 film Sense and Sensibility, in which she was writing and starring. Doyle was friends with actors Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson, and had worked on many films directed by the former, including Henry V 1989 and Much Ado About Nothing 1993. The films original score was written by the Scottish composer Patrick Doyle. Due to his work in Sense and Sensibility and other films based on novels, Doyle has become best known for his work composing literary adaptations. He lost both awards to Luis Enriquez Bacalovs score of the Italian film Il Postino. His musical score earned the composer his first nominations for the Academy Award for Best Original Score and the BAFTA Award for Best Film Music. The score also includes two songs sung by the character of Marianne Dashwood, which Doyle adapted from two poems. Doyle subsequently created a score which he described as "suppressed" with "occasional outbursts of emotion", in keeping with the films storyline. Director Ang Lee tasked Doyle with creating a gentle score reflecting the emotional suppression of the society featured in the film. The original score was composed by the Scottish composer Patrick Doyle, a friend of Thompsons who had worked with her on many previous films. Sense and Sensibility is the original soundtrack of the 1995 film of the same name starring Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, Kate Winslet and Tom Wilkinson.
