The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian (An Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack)
About This Album
Composer Harry Gregson-Williams re-teams with director Andrew Adamson, with whom he worked not only on The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but also on the Shrek movies, for the second Walt Disney film to be based on the series of C.S. Lewis' fantasy novels about the world of Narnia. Gregson-Williams is given full rein to create an old-fashioned movie score with a full orchestra and several choirs, and he uses it fully, coming up with big, soaring themes, galloping chase music, and calm, lovely slow passages, all to accompany the film's extensive action and adventure sequences. This is music intended to be a big part of the film experience, not only underlying, but also accentuating the emotional force of the images. It is not sufficiently memorable to live for long outside the theater, but it does an efficient job inside it. Also included are a few earnest pop songs, notably a pop/rock ballad by Switchfoot, "This Is Home," with hit potential. The enhanced content available by putting the disc in one's computer is actually found on the Internet, not on the CD itself. It consists of a trailer for the film and a photo gallery. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

Umm, Persephone, Aslan's How is a large mound located south of the Great River in Narnia next to the Great Woods. It was built over the Hill of the Stone Table and was hollowed out, and used as a refuge in Prince Caspian.The word "How" derives from the Old Norse "Haugr", meaning hill. In parts of England, it is an earthen burial-mound , so it kinda is a burial mound. However, in this usage, it is spelled "How". Maybe "Howe" is the Irish spelling? Just wanted you to know :)
a howe is a burial mound- i believe it's something along the lines of newgrange in ireland, but don't cite me on it. with this, it should be spelled with an "-e": "howe", not just "how".
i absolutely loved the movie and it's amazing how beautifully the music goes along with the storyline, and the lyrics in "this is home" and "the call" go perfect with the feeling of the movie and the book, love this album.
