The Bodyguard is a soundtrack composed by Alan Silvestri for the 1992 film of the same name. The film was directed by Mick Jackson and starred Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner. The soundtrack was released on November 17, 1992, by Arista Records. The Bodyguard soundtrack features six songs performed by Whitney Houston, including the hit single "I Will Always Love You," which became one of the best-selling singles of all time. The soundtrack also includes songs by other artists, such as "I Have Nothing" and "Run to You," both performed by Houston, and "Queen of the Night" by Whitney Houston. The soundtrack is divided into two parts, with the first part featuring the songs performed by Houston and the second part featuring the instrumental score composed by Silvestri. The score is divided into 12 movements, each corresponding to a specific scene in the film. The first movement, "Main Title," sets the tone for the film with its dramatic and suspenseful orchestration. The second movement, "I Will Always Love You," features a solo piano arrangement of the hit song performed by Houston. The third movement, "Going Home," is a somber and reflective piece that accompanies a scene in which Costner's character returns home after a long day of work. The fourth movement, "Jesus Loves Me," is a gentle and uplifting piece that accompanies a scene in which Houston's character sings the hymn to a child. The fifth movement, "Nicki's Theme," is a playful and upbeat piece that accompanies a scene in which Houston's character interacts with a young girl. The sixth movement, "Run to You," is a powerful and emotional piece that accompanies a scene in which Houston's character sings the song to Costner's character. The seventh movement, "I Have Nothing," is a passionate and intense piece that accompanies a scene in which Houston's character performs the song on stage. The eighth movement, "Queen of the Night," is a high-energy and danceable piece that accompanies a scene in which Houston's character performs the song in a club. The ninth movement, "Jazz Man," is a jazzy and upbeat piece that accompanies a scene in which Costner's character listens to jazz music. The tenth movement, "Rachel's Theme," is a haunting and melancholic piece that accompanies a scene in which Houston's character reflects on her past. The eleventh movement, "The Tango," is a sensual and romantic piece that accompanies a scene in which Houston's character dances with Costner's character. The final movement, "End Credits," is a triumphant and uplifting piece that brings the score to a close. Overall, The Bodyguard soundtrack is a masterful work of music that perfectly captures the mood and tone of the film.
