About the Song
The Piano is the original soundtrack, on the Virgin Records label, of the 1993 Academy Award-winning film The Piano starring Holly Hunter (who won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as "Ada McGrath" in this film), Harvey Keitel, Sam Neill and Anna Paquin (who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as "Flora McGrath" in this film). The original score was composed by Michael Nyman and is his twentieth album release. Despite being called a "soundtrack", this is a partial score re-recording, as Nyman himself also performs the piano on the album (whereas the film version is performed by Hunter). The music is performed by the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Nyman with Michael Nyman Band members John Harle, David Roach and Andrew Findon performing the prominent saxophone work. The album was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score.    Download this sheet!
About the Artist
The Piano is a 1993 film about a mute female pianist and her daughter, set during the mid-19th century in a rainy, muddy frontier New Zealand backwater. The film was written and directed by Jane Campion, and stars Holly Hunter, Harvey Keitel, Sam Neill and Anna Paquin. It features a score for the piano by Michael Nyman which became a bestselling soundtrack album. Hunter played her own piano pieces for the film, and also served as sign language teacher for Paquin, earning herself three different screen credits. The film was an international co-production by Australian producer Jan Chapman with the French company Ciby 2000. Alistair Fox has argued that The Piano was significantly influenced by Jane Mander's The Story of a New Zealand River. The Piano is the original soundtrack, on the Virgin Records label, of the 1993 Academy Award-winning film The Piano starring Holly Hunter (who won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as "Ada McGrath" in this film), Harvey Keitel, Sam Neill and Anna Paquin (who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as "Flora McGrath" in this film). The original score was composed by Michael Nyman.
