What was the first music album you ever bought or owned? Do you still listen to it or have you moved on?
If I remember correctly, the first album I bought was the soundtrack to Glory. I haven’t listened to the album itself in a long time, but the music’s on the instrumental mix.
Yeah, “Preparations for Battle” is a good one. Glory is still one of my favorite James Horner soundtracks.
It was also my first introduction to O Fortuna, which clearly inspired “Charging Fort Wagner,” even though it’s not listed as an influence.
