AMERICAN BEAUTY was nominated for the 1999 Academy Awards For Best Original Score.
Composer: Thomas Newman.
Personnel: Thomas Newman (saz, piano); George Doering (steel guitar, mandola); Rick Cox (banjolele, tin whistle); Bill Bernstein (mandolin); Bruce Dukov (violin); Steve Tavaglione (flute, EWI); Steve Kujala (flute); George Budd (bass flute); Michael Fisher (snare drum, tabla).
Shortly after the release of the American Beauty soundtrack -- which featured tantalizing excerpts from Thomas Newman`s music bookending a collection of pop songs -- came the release of the full score. From the film`s haunting main theme and "Any Other Name" to the witty, percussive "Dead Already," "Choking the Bishop," and "Mr. Smarty Man," Newman`s score evokes as much feeling and humor as the film itself does. Even more so than the first volume of the soundtrack, the score from American Beauty is a necessity for the movie`s fans. ~ Heather Phares
