PATRICK DOYLE ON THE BRAVE
SCORE... Clearly, “Brave” is very, very Scottish. The animators
made a lot of field trips over there to capture the land’s colors,
skies and seasons. Very often in the summer you’ll have a wet morning.
Then the sun comes out after lunch, and the rest of the day will have
the most beautiful white clouds, and lovely sunshine. So when I saw
those wonderful images of the skies, mountains and lochs, it just kindled
all of the Celtic connections in my upbringing. I’m very fascinated by
my own culture in terms of its art and music. I’ve also been strongly
attuned to the music of Ireland, as half of my family is Irish. So there’s
always been cross-fertilization between those two countries for me. I
also wrote the score to evoke Scotland’s ancient culture, a Celtic
quality that comes across with indigenous instruments like bagpipes and
the flute. I also used instruments from other cultures just to sweeten
the sound on occasion and give the score a contemporary feel. Jim
Sullivan came in and provided some incredible homemade drums, as well
as deep drums with big pieces of deer hide, which he’d whack with a wooden
mallet to make these incredible sounds. We even used a washboard. But
the score also has very delicate and intimate moments, along with the
big dance pieces and montage sequences that make particular use of the
bagpipes.
