Microcosmos ReviewThis is a favorite soundtrack of mine (out of some 500+ soundtracks I enjoy) which I listen to whenever I feel like relaxing utterly or escaping into a cheerful and lovely fantasy realm. Even before this CD became available, I had taped the soundtrack from the film (which is also, imo, extremely impressive in its own right).
French composer Bruno Coulais (composer, also, of the exquisite Winged Migration and Himalaya soundtracks) is, without a doubt, a musical genius. And this soundtrack remains, I believe, the best example of his work-- expressing remarkable rhythmic diversity and producing varying emotions. The two brief Italian opera pieces are simply perfect (although when one considers the initial snail-lovemaking scene from the film in which the first of these songs is used, the dramatic effect is somewhat lessened . . . )
The first track-- repeated with certain alterations as the thirteenth track-- represents to me a fascinating cross between a typical English or Welsh choir song (alike to the one from the Empire of the Sun soundtrack) and something quite different and fantastic, perhaps along the lines of the surreal musical tunes created by Danny Elfan for Nightmare Before Christmas and The Corpse Bride.
All together, this soundtrack is excellent as a background to meditating, dining, relaxing, reading, or otherwise feeling delightfully audibly-stimulated while engaging in other sensory pleasures!
For anyone interested, the lyrics of the original "Microcosmos" song and the slightly altered version (as obtained from watching the film with closed captions) follow, below.
*****(Original version, track 1)
look at your feet
this funny world
full of insane small creatures
and listen to
this buzzing chord
who keenly spreads such strange murmurs
the sound's buzzing, swarming
sliding beetles, snails, and ladybirds
on swarming grubs
on sliding ants
open your eyes before you die
sit on the grass
observe and paint
the toad, the wasp, the dragonfly
the sound's buzzing, swarming
sliding beetles, snails, and ladybirds
*****(Alternate version, track 13)
look at your feet
discern a world
full of insane small creatures
and listen to
this buzzing chord
who keenly spreads such strange murmurs
the sound's buzzing swarming
sliding beetles, snails, and ladybirds
on swarming grubs
on slighting ants
open your eyes before you die
sit on the grass
observe and paint
the toad he wants the dragonfly
the sound's buzzing, swarming
sliding beetles, snails, and ladybirds
