More common than not, today's film music is just a background noise roaming without a true connection to the scene it is underscoring. The decision to use only voice (in contrast to a string section) creates a very intimate and emotionally intense scene. Specifically, the rescue scene demonstrates wonderful intent and knowledge on how to make a scene more impactful and meaningful with the use of music. These moments are the highest of quality in the score. This symbolic theme of unity is very clear in the track "Hudson View" and "The Rescue." Within these tracks 'Sully's Theme' is played both in its original form and in augmentation of the original. Many scenes in the film focus on the community of New York jointly working to help rescue and care for the people on the flight. The conscious choice to use a voice for the main melodic instrument symbolizes the idea of unity or coming together as one, a key theme in the film. The melodic contour of the line breathes in and out which makes the melody convey human elements. The theme is a great display of stress and release (or breathing) within music. 'Sully's Theme' is typically heard though a woman's voice accompanied with either a piano or string section. Here is where we are introduced to "Sully's Theme" (found in the track with the same name). One of the first scenes which contain music is when we see Sully running through the streets of New York. The soundtrack album is tasteful and simpleonly providing music for moments which allow it to be noticed. This contrast clearly shows a division between Sully's constant thoughts and his environment, being the city, boardroom, or plane as it was falling from the sky. It is accompanied by a diverse harmony played through soothing jazz chords, pulses, and melodies. 'The Mind Theme' also helps project a major theme in the film: the 'Human Factor.' The motif grinds along monotonously breathing and thinking, similar to that of a human mind. This motif is a perfect device for helping elude to the inner thoughts, fears, and controversies Sully constantly argues in his head. Uniquely, the film is not a play-by-play of events, but instead focuses on Sully's and the crew's recovery back to reality and the repercussions they must face. This theme provides a wonderful churning of thoughts in which Sully is contemplating after the forced landing. I've categorized this repetitive pattern as the thought process of Sully. First heard in "Sully Wakes Up," this motif is a repetitive four note ostinato which can easily be recognized as a common film color. 'The Mind Theme,' is one of the first motifs heard in the film. All in all, this created a wonderfully transparent score. Alongside Christian Jacob (pianist in the Tierney Sutton Band), Sutton organized a beautiful score infused with a myriad of unique jazz rhythms, progressions, and harmonies. Tierney Sutton, Grammy Award nominated American jazz singer, delivered an amazing performance as the lead female vocal in many of the tracks. The album contains nineteen tracks including seven which were not featured in the film. The soundtrack was written in collaboration with Clint Eastwood, Christian Jacob, and The Tierney Sutton Band.
