Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning book by Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes will make its much-anticipated theatrical debut December 22. Directed by Alan Parker and with an original score from best-selling composer John Williams, the moving true story will be one of the most important American films to debut this season.

Composer John Williams has created some of the most powerful and enduring film music of our time, including Star Wars (SK 61816), Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan. His original music for Angela's Ashes bears that distinctive mark that makes a John Williams score a classic: an unforgettable theme, this time weaving Irish and Celtic influences into a lush, dramatic score that captures all the poignant beauty of the story.

The Angela's Ashes soundtrack features a special bonus -- narration directly from the film by acclaimed screen actor Andrew Bennet as the voice of Frank McCourt. The dramatic dialogue introducing key tracks makes this a particularly moving audio experience. A special highlight of the soundtrack album is the performance of the classic American song "Pennies From Heaven", performed by the unbeatable Billie Holiday.
