Program Notes

This heroic and haunting music was composed by well-known film composer Michael Kamen as the theme to the HBO mini-series Band Of Brothers. It is a sweeping, diverse score that encompasses lovely soaring ballads as well as driving, intense splashes of sound.

Band of Brothers is a 2001 American war drama miniseries based on historian Stephen E. Ambrose's 1992 non-fiction book of the same name. The executive producers were Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, who had collaborated on the 1998 World War II film Saving Private Ryan. The episodes first aired in 2001 on HBO.
