In my opinion, the best cue in the entire score was unfortunately left off the CD -- "The Ceremony".
Fortunately, you can hear this cue on Beltrami's official site: http://www.marcobeltrami.com/the-giver
I love this cue so much. So expressive. The chord progressions just resonate with me so much and create such a depth of drama and emotion; such is the skill and brilliance of Beltrami. I hear a cue like this and not only do I want to hear it again and again on a loop right then and there, but I know it will join the Beltrami Cue Hall of Fame for all time, and regardless of whether I ever wanted to see the film, I do now just to see how this cue plays against image. Very evocative and mesmerizing. Those that enjoy this score, head over to MB's site and listen to this cue!
I have to say my all-time favorite Beltrami score, as yet unreleased, The Invisible, is most like The Giver. Or, I should say, The Giver is most like The Invisible. The same longing, unabashed depth of emotion, strong theme, with some action/adventure but some real heart. These two make great companion scores, or would, were The Invisible available! I've been lamenting its absence for years. I suppose it's Intrada territory, as it was a Disney production, so it falls to them...

The scoring for the extended extra scene was really nice.
