Trevor Rabin
's score for Max, a touching
Warner Bros.
family adventure film about a military working dog, features an orthodox, contemporary orchestral approach (occasionally with guitar or keyboards, as is typical of
Rabin
) that's intense but avoids being cloying. According to director
Boaz Yakin
, who had worked with the composer 15 years earlier on Remember the Titans,
was offered the job for just that reason: his ability to deliver tension and tone without being overly sentimental.
Max [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]
was released by
Sony Classical
in June 2015 in conjunction with the film's U.S. theatrical release. ~ Marcy Donelson
