one of film music’s greatest and most successful composers ... the great Patrick Doyle!
Doyle’s film scores include such
blockbusters as Brave, Harry Potter and The Goblet Of Fire, Rise of the
Planet of the Apes, Thor, Bridget Jones’s Diary, Henry V and so many
others! Doyle is a Scotsman who has been coming to America for many

IMPRESSIONS OF AMERICA is a nostalgic look at America ... its landscapes,
its traditions, and its people.
Scored for full symphony orchestra, we release
