Oliver Coates - Mary & George (Original Series Soundtrack)
Tax included.
Preeminent cellist / composer Oliver Coates follows his scores for Aftersun and Foe with a stately string and electronic orchestration for Tudor and Stuart-era period drama Mary & George. Coate’s score draws on his roots in classical, electronic and club music to accompany an adaptation of the non-fiction book The King’s Assassin by Benjamin Woolley, which outlines the romantic affair between King James VI and I and George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham.
The score sees Coates reaching for a suitably lavish palette of strings, from symphonic to puckered chamber arrangements, sometimes underlined with Burial-esque beats and choral pads, as in ‘France’, or alloying the two in a way recalling Nicholas Britell’s ‘Succession’ soundtrack. There’s enough harpsichord to make the ruffed-necks swoon, and Coates takes the license to distort sounds to taste when necessary, resulting a clear highpoint in his work, both solo and for film.
