What we have in Oliver Twist is pretty much the Rachel Portman we’ve always known only now she’s reached into unfamiliar territory
for many of her listeners: dark brooding themes and lots of minor key tonal centering. The score features a few notable themes but only
two are central to the score: Oliver’s Theme and Fagin’s Theme. Both of these themes are juxtaposed against one another effectively to
create quite the wonderful English-sounding musical backdrop to Dickens’ dark yet quirky character tale.

Portman’s sensibilities towards strings and winds remain as strong as they ever have been, only this time she relies much more on use of
the double basses and lower wind instruments to create carefully brooding textures for the more gloomy sections of the score.
Her rhythmic action motifs are repetitive but effective and the simpler portions of the score are exquisitely well done and precisely orchestrated.
