Harry Gregson-Williams reminisces on his Shrek scores

The prolific composer, who most recently signed the Prince Caspian score for Disney, talks to Ain’t It Cool[1] about his body of work, including the Shrek blockbusters: Director Andrew Adamson and I] have spent a lot of time together. We went through Shrek, Shrek 2, Shrek the Third, the first Narnia, and now the second Narnia. He’s a really good friend and I really respect him and like his musical taste. I did from the word “go.” When he showed me the first cut of Shrek, one minute you have this Joan Jett song and the next minute a beautiful Hallelujah song which actually has a lot of emotion with this movie of a green ogre. Who would have thought it? A lot of those song placements came from Andrew so I trust his musical instincts and I think he trusts mine.”
