Sam Thompson’s beautiful, personal score for this mini-series encourages viewers to be drawn deeper into this historical documentary with a greater degree of emotion and personality. The music particularly highlights this moment of tragedy for those surrounding the President – his staff, his children and his wife Jackie Kennedy.
To achieve this, Sam draws on a combination of intimate, organic performances from soloists and subtle use of software instruments and effects. Sam’s hauntingly beautiful, award-winning score deftly heightens emotion, tension, and drama, demonstrating a profound understanding of the delicate balance between this defining historical moment and an acute personal tragedy.
