Rating: - John Adams Soundtrack
I watched a few of these episodes on HBO and couldn't get the theme song out of my head so I bought the soundtrack. Great ambient music, especially during patriotic events (eg. 4th of July, elections, etc.). Best tracks are 1, 2, and 5.
Rating: - A Stirring, Emotional Score
After watching the excellent miniseries JOHN ADAMS on DVD, I knew I had to purchase the soundtrack. Rob Lane and Joseph Vitarelli have crafted a musical score for the film that packs the emotional power that was so much a part of David McCullough's book. From the patriotic "Opening Titles," a martial piece that somehow manages to convey that the drama it introduces is one of flesh and blood human beings, not wooden soldiers led by marble statues, to the soulful "Farewell to Adams," played in the film as John Adams and Thomas Jefferson lay dying on the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of ...

This sound track the work of composers Rob Lane and Joseph Vitarelli really evoke the emotions of the era and the people in their works.

The music truly honors and complements the Founding Fathers, Founding Mothers and Founding Children for the sacrifices they made. Not only ... Read More
Rating: - every american should watch and listen to this movie.
This was the best movie I've seen in a long time,ever since I saw The World's Fastest Indian, another good movie that movie critics missed. If it wasn't for John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, we'd probably still be a British Colony. This country needs a 21st Century John Adams or Thomas Jefferson to lead this country, this country has no leadership. Excellent movie, thank God for John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Have a box of kleenex ready for the last chapter. 5 star movie.
