"Candleshoe" is a 1977 American-British family adventure film directed by Norman Tokar and starring Jodie Foster, David Niven, and Helen Hayes. The film premiered on December 16, 1977, in the United States. The soundtrack for "Candleshoe" was composed by Ron Goodwin, a British composer known for his work on films such as "633 Squadron" and "Where Eagles Dare." Goodwin's score for "Candleshoe" is a lively and whimsical orchestral score that perfectly captures the film's adventurous spirit. The soundtrack features several memorable themes, including the main theme, which is a jaunty and upbeat melody that is heard throughout the film. Other notable themes include a mysterious and suspenseful theme that is used during the film's more tense moments, as well as a romantic theme that is used during the film's romantic scenes. The "Candleshoe" soundtrack is divided into several movements, each of which corresponds to a different scene or sequence in the film. The first movement, titled "Main Title," features the film's main theme and sets the tone for the rest of the score. Other movements include "The Chase," which features a fast-paced and exciting chase sequence, and "The Heist," which features a tense and suspenseful sequence as the characters attempt to steal a valuable treasure. Overall, the "Candleshoe" soundtrack is a delightful and charming score that perfectly captures the film's adventurous and lighthearted spirit. Goodwin's use of orchestral instrumentation and memorable themes make the soundtrack a standout feature of the film.
