Shattered Glass is a soundtrack composed by Mychael Danna for the 2003 film of the same name. The film is a biographical drama based on the true story of journalist Stephen Glass, who was caught fabricating stories for the prestigious magazine The New Republic. The soundtrack was released on October 21, 2003, by Lakeshore Records. The soundtrack features a total of 18 tracks, with a runtime of 44 minutes and 22 seconds. The music is primarily orchestral, with occasional electronic elements. The soundtrack opens with the track "The New Republic," which sets the tone for the film with its ominous and foreboding melody. The track "The Glass House" features a haunting piano melody that perfectly captures the sense of isolation and desperation felt by the film's protagonist. The soundtrack is divided into three movements, each of which corresponds to a different phase of the film. The first movement, titled "The Rise," features music that is upbeat and optimistic, reflecting Glass's initial success as a journalist. The second movement, titled "The Fall," features darker and more somber music, reflecting Glass's descent into deceit and betrayal. The final movement, titled "The Aftermath," features music that is more reflective and introspective, as Glass comes to terms with the consequences of his actions. One of the standout tracks on the soundtrack is "The End of the Affair," which features a beautiful and melancholy melody played on a solo violin. This track perfectly captures the sense of loss and regret felt by Glass as he realizes the extent of the damage he has caused. Another standout track is "The Truth Comes Out," which features a tense and suspenseful melody that builds to a dramatic climax. Overall, the Shattered Glass soundtrack is a masterful work of film music that perfectly captures the mood and tone of the film. Mychael Danna's use of orchestral and electronic elements creates a unique and memorable sound that perfectly complements the story of Stephen Glass's downfall.
