Composer:Lorne BalfeGenre:FilmAverage_duration:02:38:05Assassin's Creed Revelations is a video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It was released on November 15, 2011, for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows. The game is the fourth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series and the final chapter in the Ezio Auditore trilogy. The game's soundtrack was composed by Lorne Balfe, a Scottish composer known for his work on films such as Inception, The Dark Knight, and Mission: Impossible – Fallout. Balfe's score for Assassin's Creed Revelations features a mix of orchestral and electronic elements, with a focus on Middle Eastern and Mediterranean sounds to reflect the game's setting. The soundtrack is divided into three movements, each corresponding to a different aspect of the game. The first movement, titled "Assassin's Creed," features music that is meant to evoke the series' overall themes of stealth, action, and adventure. The second movement, "Revelations," focuses on the game's story and characters, with more emotional and introspective pieces. The final movement, "Desmond," is named after the game's protagonist and features music that is meant to reflect his journey and struggles. One of the standout tracks from the soundtrack is "Istanbul," which features a haunting vocal performance by Turkish singer Mimi Goese. The track is used during the game's opening sequence and sets the tone for the rest of the score. Other notable tracks include "The Crossroads of the World," which features a driving percussion section, and "The Library," which features a beautiful piano melody. Overall, Lorne Balfe's score for Assassin's Creed Revelations is a fitting accompaniment to the game's epic story and action-packed gameplay. The mix of orchestral and electronic elements, along with the use of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean sounds, helps to create a unique and immersive musical experience.More....
