This is the original score for Ken Burns’s new two-part documentary, LEONARDO da VINCI, with new compositions by Caroline Shaw. The album features performances by the composer’s longtime collaborators Attacca Quartet, Sō Percussion, and Roomful of Teeth as well as John Patitucci. Shaw wrote and recorded new music for LEONARDO da VINCI, marking the first time a Ken Burns film has featured an entirely original score.Pulitzer Prize-winning artist Caroline Shaw, who has worked with a diverse array of artists ranging from Nas and Rosalía to Renée Fleming and the New York Philharmonic, brings her formidable talents to Leonardo da Vinci, the four-hour Ken Burns documentary about the 15th-century Italian polymath. Joined by longtime collaborators Attacca Quartet, Sō Percussion and Roomful of Teeth, Shaw delivers an original score of twenty-eight lively blasts analogous to da Vinci’s artistry and visionary ideas.

Film cues can often sound dashed off but Shaw is particularly skilled at mixing vocal and instrumental parts, as she demonstrates on “Guru of the Court,” where bowed and plucked violins skip alongside brief vocal bursts for a bracing event. “The Last Supper” is a beautiful and inspiring mix of rising and falling vocals that transitions into violins that yield back to even higher and more glorying vocals. While careful not to sound like sacred music, the piece still evokes a sense of rejoicing. “The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne” uses pop music chords—with fiddles buzzing underneath a fragile understory of wordless vocals and bells—while a single violin plays a thoughtful, almost melancholy line. Recorded in New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles by engineer Alex Venguer and a supporting army producers, editors, and assistant engineers, the sound is as dynamic and exciting as its source of inspiration. – Robert Baird
