　　(Written by Thomas Glorieux - Review of the regular release)
　　Welcome to the wonderful world of not knowing what to expect! In life, it is often the case that the things you most look forward to are the ones that will disappoint the most. And you just don't want up with these when they're the ones you enjoy the most. Enter Fernando VelÃ zquez's score for El Orfanato (The Orphanage), a Spanish horror film along the lines of The Sixth Sense and The Others. Considering the movie has to be released in Belgium at the time of writing I know nothing more of the story, but I may be tempted to go and see it when it arrives in our cinemas. And that's all as a result of hearing Velázquez's score, as his music is a good example of an exquisitely well-written horror/dramatic score. Using a full orchestra, the music itself doesn't sound very big. But the composer knows how to influence the emotions of the listener in directions of his choices. And that influence is clearly meant to scare and shock - but at the same time, to soothe. It's wonderful to realize that there is still an artistry to the orchestrations: music establishes an unsettling mood and is more than just bland underscore.
　　Listening to this score unsettles even in the comfort of your own home. I would go even further by saying that the music holds some of the scariest surprises I've heard in a long time. But don't worry, I won't say where and when these surprises appear so that you too can be frightened when you discover this little gem. I can honestly say that El Orfanato does have a memorable main theme. It seems that nowadays film music fans need a memorable theme for them to connect to the music. Even if I personally think that this need is a bit extreme, it seems to be true. The opening track Prologue features this main theme as a nice flute melody that steadily grows in a dramatic and dark fashion. From here onwards, the score doesn't look back. The urgent Credits, the somber A Magic Light and the frantic Treasure's Play (this latter track will remind many of John Williams' Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban ) are all related to the movie's somber premise.
　　Until the cue A Holiday arrives. This track unfolds from a somber, dark mood to a surprisingly dramatic and urgent feel with driving strings and trombones. It is at this moment that the listener is drawn completely into the feel that the composer is trying to establish.
　　The track entitled Abuse delivers exactly what the title suggests; dissonance counterpointed with light choral tones that unnerves and scares you to death. The track Tomás recalls James Newton Howard's effective music for The Sixth Sense. El Orfanato delivers the same level of emotion. A Decline is another example where the composer's ability to write dark and moody music is evident; a darkness growing to a dramatically charged fanfare, assisted by the choir.
　　If by this time you haven't guessed what the composer is trying to do with his score, then the final few tracks are likely to spell it out in large, though somber, lettering. The feel of the music in Alone in the House is hinted at in the track's title! Flutes rushing towards you, eeriness gripping tightly and a tension unfolding before you. This is music that becomes alive simply by hearing it played loud and in your face. It all resolves in The Little House of Tomás and this track probably reflects resolution in the movie as well as the score. Imagine four minutes of eerie music quietly shattered until a wonderful thick fanfare shatters all emotions that have gone before. From here the mood becomes light and relaxing with the restatement of the main theme.
　　In Reunion and Final and End Credits the flute melody makes way for a statement of the theme in the strings and solo voice. This development in orchestration transforms what was a modest initial statement of an early theme into the main theme of the score; the theme that reflects the whole emotional journey of the movie/score. The bonus tracks feature variations of the main theme - including an interesting violin version with choral support.
　　So, I bid you welcome to the wonderful world of "Not Knowing What To Expect". El Orfanato is a very nice treat for orchestral thriller music. I can't call it horror or frightening music because it actually tells the story through the score. It isn't just scary underscore. The music draws you into the world of El Orfanato and Fernando Velázquez's score is a clear relation of Howard's The Sixth Sense, but larger in scope. Now I know what to expect from the movie. How about you?
