Composer William Ross will probably be better known for his involvement this year in the upcoming film Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. However, before embarking on that project, he wrote a charming and heartwarming score to the film adaptation of the classic young-adult novel, Tuck Everlasting. Director Jay Russell worked with Ross previously on My Dog Skip, and the collaboration this time around is just as fruitful.
The score is, for the most part, filled with soft drama, and a quasi-romantic melodic main theme. "The Wheel / Treegap" showcases this theme, including a rendition using fiddle and flute, backed with guitars, followed by a music box. From dark tension ("Kidnapping", "Graveyard") to sweeping epic romance ("Eiffel Tower", "Good-byes"), the score provides a wide range of emotions, and Ross deftly satisfies all the requirements. There are also a few tracks that are like source cues ("Tuck's Place", "Cave Dance"), but it helps break up the album into a wholly enjoyable and varied listening experience.
At the end of this 42-minute listen, you'll feel warm and fuzzy - no doubt how most people felt when reading the book, and (hopefully) how they felt when seeing the film. Ross is still a composer who has yet to hit it big, but he's steadily writing quality scores, and Tuck Everlasting will make a fine addition to anyone's soundtrack collection.
Natalie Babbitt's beloved, wistful fantasy novel has been brought to life with an eye toward bucolic timelessness by Disney and director Jay Russell. It's that magical sense of the non-specific that composer William Ross has been charged with evoking in composing the film's orchestral score. As he did in his previous collaboration with Russell, the underrated My Dog Skip, Ross leans heavily on tradition and sentimentality without becoming the slave of either. His emotionally enchanting score is seasoned by the evocative use of Gaelic wind instruments and pastoral string passages, yet tempered by playfully exotic massed tribal percussion on "Cave Dance" and spare, ringing Tom Newman -esque piano chords set against swirling Middle Eastern string instruments elsewhere. It's masterful stuff, concocted for maximum melancholy emotional effect yet delivered with understated subtlety--and more than a few richly rewarding musical left turns. --Jerry McCulley
"The most haunting, melodic, & enchanting score in years!", Feb 13 2003

This review is from: Tuck Everlasting (Score) (Audio CD)
OK, this is supposed to be a teen flick, right? So how come the beautiful and haunting orchestral score of William Ross stays with me? Why can I not get those addicting melodies out of my head? I haven't been a teenager is many years!
As wonderful as the movie was (see my review), I say without apology--the music is even better. This enchanting-often dreamy score will (sadly) be overlooked by Academy Award voters, yet track for track--it is sure to become a classic in the annals of Disney musical productions.
Like the film itself, the tracks are short, sweet, and memorable. From the eerie whistling theme of 'Main Title', to the string-ballad (oh so beautiful!) of 'Winnie and Mae'--the music is well crafted and will be appreciated even by those who have not seen the film.
'Jail Break' however, can only be appreciated by familiarity with the scene--once of the most memorable in the movie. Only 'Cave Dance'--as does the scene in the film, seems woefully out of place. 'Elegy' captures that magnificent Victorian period in which the film is set, and the final cut 'Love Everlasting' brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
If you think a 'teen flick' with such an improbable name could hardly feature a score this beautiful, perhaps you need to see the film. But see it or not, if you want to just sit back, close your eyes and appreciate one of the loveliest musical scores in many, many years--this one is it. Thank you, Mr. Ross. This is magnificent!#
