Quartet Records, in collaboration with Atresmedia Música, presents the new score by renowned composer Fernando Velázquez (THE IMPOSSIBLE, A MONSTER CALLS, CRIMSON PEAK, ALMA) for a funny and emotive animated film set in the Old West!

The film is about two parentless Irish siblings who arrive in New York City via an ocean liner and quickly find themselves on a wild, cross-country journey aboard an orphan train where they meet an extraordinary new friend who will change their lives forever. Fueled by curiosity, friendship and teamwork, their dangerous and discovery-filled quest will introduce them to devious villains, unexpected heroes and surprising adventures in their heart-warming and hilarious search for a home.

Fernando Velázquez provides an impressive, full-epic symphonic western score, 60 minutes of pure film music composed as in the good old days. It’s an exciting, emotional score, meticulously performed under the baton of the composer. The music was recorded and mixed by Marc Blanes, and the CD mastered by Chris Malone.

It's not a sell-in that appeals to me immediately, but Velázquez has started to emerge from the shadows again (at least for me), so will definitely give it a go. After his masterpiece LO IMPOSSIBLE in 2012, I had to wait a decade until he properly impressed me again, with the concert work(?) AMAIRAEN KONDAIRA in 2022. Then the rather sweet CINEMA PARADISO-like score for LA CONTADORA DE PELICULAS in 2023. So hopefully this continues the trend.

Sounds awesome. I'm definitely a fan of this world where Spanish animated features in various random genres allow Velazquez to explore whatever idiom of classic film music he wants.

What I love about Fernando’s work is that it clearly reflects his deep appreciation for the heritage of film music.

Fernando understands what the great film composers achieved. He doesn’t try to imitate them, nor should he, as his own voice is strong and distinct. Instead, he evokes the same feelings we might have experienced when listening to a score by Herrmann, Bernstein, Silvestri, or Horner. That requires talent and a careful balance.

This is a fine orchestral work, as all of Fernando’s scores are!

Now streaming and available for download -- a totally delightful score. Velázquez obviously had a lot of fun with this one.

This also came today. Playing as I write. So far it's very good. Melodic, lush in places. There's definitely some 'yeehaa' moments, plus a touch of Irish jig/Chieftans in others.

It's certainly on my radar.
