About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

The producers were wise in their choosing of James Newton Howard to compose the score for P.J. Hogan's big screen rendering of J.M. Barrie's famous children's book, Peter Pan. The former Elton John keyboardist's work on M. Night Shyamalan's Sixth Sense and Signs showcased his ability to blend suspense and whimsy, and skillfully paint a scene from a child actor's point of view. For Peter Pan, Howard builds the dreamy world of "Neverland" with harps, choirs, and the occasional keyboard flourish, fleshing out the characters with fairy tale precision, and creating a believable realm in the same fashion that John Williams handled the magical world of Harry Potter. The string motifs he chooses for Wendy and Peter are steeped in the bittersweet confusion of sexual awakening, and the eternally youthful Lost Boys are treated with a light hand, hinting at their enviable immortality. "Howard" goes to great lengths to capture the myth of Peter Pan, never dumbing it down. His is a darker take on a story that has spent years in the hands of cartoonists, and it delivers the tale a much-needed edge. Reverend Lee Power, All Music Guide

August 08, 2009: I am a well known Fantasy artist and when I first heard this music on a page in MySpace, I fell in love with it, wanting to hear it while I paint. Searched for the way to find it and found out it was scores from Peter Pan movie. After hearing the real music at home after buying it, I was thrilled over the fact that most of the music is A to paint with or relax and day dream over. I highly reccommend this sound track if you like all instumental upbeat daydream music.
