THE WEDDING DATE: THE RECEPTION EDITION - Original Soundtrack by Blake Neely
BUYSOUNDTRAX Records presents the original score album of THE WEDDING DATE: THE RECEPTION EDITION, featuring music composed by Blake Neely for the 2005 romantic comedy directed by Clare Kilner, written by Dana Fox, based on a book by Elizabeth Young, starring Debra Messing (WLL & GRACE), Dermot Mulroney, Amy Adams, Jack Davenport, Sarah Parish, Jeremy Sheffield, Peter Egan and Holland Taylor.
Based on the novel ASKING FOR TROUBLE by Elizabeth Young, THE WEDDING DATE tells the story of Kat Ellis (Messing), who returns to her parents’ London home for her sister Amy’s wedding. Afraid of confronting her ex-fiancé who dumped her two years earlier, she hires Nick (Mulroney), a male escort, to pose as her new boyfriend during the wedding festivities.
THE WEDDING DATE was Blake Neely’s first solo feature film assignment as composer. Previously released on compact disc at the time of the film’s release as a limited edition which swiftly sold out, the film’s musical score has remained popular in the public eye , considering how often composer Blake Neely has received requests for its return over the years. Expertly performed by the acclaimed Northwest Sinfonia Orchestra, the score finds the perfect pitch between laughs and love, mixing a frothy musical concoction in the vein of Georges Delerue for this delightful romantic comedy. THE WEDDING DATE’s main theme is a thoroughly engaging piece of music with a great melodic hook, and it grows and develops as Kat and Nick realize their affection for one another.
