Notes:
“Your spectacular score played a major role in our film, Amazon, landing an Academy Award nomination” – Kieth Merrill, director

"The first time that director Kieth Merrill showed me Amazon, I knew that it was a special film. The beauty of the rainforest and the majesty of the river provided a canvas to create lush musical textures and sweeping melodies. The combination of the traditional orchestra along with ethnic woodwinds, percussion and choir, created a musical tapestry as rich as the rainforest itself. I thank Kieth for the stunning visual images which stimulated my emotions and led to the music of Amazon." -Alan Williams
