Moses (Christian Bale) fights alongside his brother Ramses (Joel Edgerton), to help defend Egypt, which is ruled by their father Seti (John Turturro). During battle, Moses saves Ramses' life, causing Ramses to fear that his brother will one day be King because it fits with a prophecy handed down by one of Seti's trusted spiritualists. Soon after Seti's death, Moses, who is actually Jewish and not Egyptian, is banished. However, he becomes the leader of the Jewish people and leads a rebellion against the Egyptians, with help from a wrathful God.
Written for a full orchestra, Iglesias adopts an epic tone throughout the score, accentuating each scene with musical grandeur that befits its scope. This is music on a scale I have not heard from Iglesias before, with rich themes, and multi-faceted orchestrations. Most of the early part of the score is moody underscoring, not strong in memorable themes, but containing a number of lovely instrumental textures and moments of great power and orchestral beauty. The beautiful ethnic textures, Iglesias’s soulful and emotional orchestral writing, the occasional powerful action sequence, and the glorious thematic finale make the score a treat from start to finish. We can listen Opening & War Room.
