The Dresser: A Haunting Theme

A
haunting musical theme from a haunting film,
The Dresser,
starring Tom Courtney and Albert Finney. It's King Lear, a tale of
unrequited love, familiar stories coming to an unhappy end, a
tragedy within a tragedy within a tragedy. I remember seeing this
movie in a theater in Austin, TX when it first came out. I walked
outside when it was over and was amazed to see the sun still
shining in the sky. It is a powerful film, and James Horner's music
stayed with me for days afterwards. His score for the film
Glory I
think is my favorite complete work of his, but this music is
something else all together.
