Info for The Goldfinch (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

“The Goldfinch” is the film adaptation of Donna Tartt’s globally acclaimed best-selling novel, which won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction.

The soundtrack to the film, set to debut at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival, features 20 tracks of original music by award-winning composer / producer Trevor Gureckis, who has, over his diverse career, has worked with the likes of Kanye West, Phillip Glass, Rufus Wainwright, Mark Ronson, and more. Directed by BAFTA Award winner John Crowley (“Brooklyn”), “The Goldfinch” features a multigenerational cast led by Ansel Elgort (“Baby Driver”) and Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman.

Trevor's goal was to create music that enhanced the already amazing storyline and work on screen. "Writing The Goldfinch was thrilling not only because of the huge orchestral forces at hand, but also for the opportunity to explore rich textural details with the use of electronics in service of the story. There are moments of vivid impressionism in the orchestra, as well as tapestries of glowing and burning synth textures. A real turning point in figuring out this score, was when John Crowley realized we needed The Goldfinch to appear in the music itself, not just visually in the film. It would be our North Star. So, the opening cue sets the theme that returns in many different transformations depicting anything for the painting to Theo's traumatized state of mind, as the two are so intertwined. Just like the painting of the bird chained to its post, this theme is suspended harmonically throughout the entire score resolving only in the final moments of the film," says Gureckis.
