Patrick Doyle

Patrick Doyle is a composer whose scores I notice even when I am not trying to. Born in South Lanarkshire, Scotland in 1953, he has built a fifty-year career and written music for well over sixty feature films. What I appreciate is the warmth and lyricism he brings, the sense that the orchestra is actually feeling something rather than just punctuating the action. He came up partly as an actor too, and I think that theatrical instinct shows in how his music breathes with a scene. For me he is one of those reliable craftsmen whose name in the credits is a quiet promise the score will be worth hearing.
