[PragueFilmOrchestra]

A rare live performance of awesome three tracks from a great movie with tremendous music by James Newton Howard. This three-track title is very difficult for flutist especially. The special "owl" sound, in the beginning, is two ocarinas.

"Main Titles" is very special due to film titles being completely built on the music. It's just fade in-out text with different speeds yet the music tells you everything you need and brings an awesome atmosphere full of chills and beats.

"The Hand of Fate" is two-part track where the music is mainly from the end of the movie (don't worry, no spoilers there). Part 1 is mainly action and overcoming difficulties in the plot with a small time to breathe. Part 2 however is the "victory" track with great harmonies and just putting pleasant feeling and a feel of accomplishment to your face.

It's really a tremendous music and in our opinion, one of the best of James Newton Howard.

This brought me to tears. This is such a fine example of the impact of music on cinema. It took me back to Mel’s performance with the struggling forces of faith and redemption. Wonderful performance

[J.B.]

"Swing Away, Merrill! Merrill, swing Away!"

[WhiskeyAngel]

Saw this in theaters as a child. The direction, score, and acting were phenomenal. Easily a top 10 movie for me. The story of loss, faith, and redemption are as old as time. A beautiful film from start to finish.

This film is in my top ten of all time. I’ve watched it many times. It has many great messages and lessons and I love it. The music makes it such a classic in my eyes.

[tavlinjavelin]

At 4:30 when it starts to build with the violins is the best. The mom telling graham to tell Merril to “swing away.” What a masterpiece of a score and movie!

[DveJapn]

I can’t think of a more beautiful piece of music

[aurox]

6:17 was always my favourite part from Hand of Fate Pt.1 and Hand of Fate Pt. 2 just simply beautiful :)

[Shotsmoky]

So I'm not the only one who loved this movie. I knew it.

[sirredeyedxaxa]

Hearing this song at the opening always made me scared when I was younger, since I’ve grown more I’ve cone to appreciate this master piece!
This orchestra did a phenomenal job playing this, the highs were more intense and suspenseful, the piano was gorgeous. Beautiful work!

[evillink]

Imagine if you sat Beethoven down to hear some of the stuff some of these movie composers made the last hundred years. It would blow his freaking mind man!

[BillieArd]

The film was made even scarier by the score!!!! Great job!!!!

[jaros]

The violinist at 6:10 smiles because he knows the best part is coming up, haha

[Errror_O]

Movie & Soundtrack are simply fantastic. The unsettling feeling over the whole Movie is awesome!

[smarthousetech]

One of the Best. James Newton Howard Never dissapoints

[fintherebel]

SIGNS will always be a movie that freaks me out I still get scared by it to this day

[mattierhodes]

“Signs” is my favorite movie of all time.
I love getting to watch it be performed live!
Absolutely stunning!! Love this!

[JD-qful]

The talent of all involved is incredible

[GabrieLight]

3:25 - 4:30 This minute always make me feel comfortable, love to listen it night at my window, when I'm feeling exhausted by life and people, hit me with a mixed feelings, between anxiety, anticipation, caving and satisfaction, it make me see my whole life as a pictures in my mind, make me take a deep breath, thinking in the unknown, my choices, humanity overall, it's just a feeling i can't describe! But i like it.

Newton-Howard & Shyamalan: perfect duo.
