Just when you don't think it can get any better, it becomes a duetand then it's just magic! While I'm not sure what language she is singing in, it fits perfectly into the melody and adds to the already enjoyable score. In fact, in 'Elegy For Charlotte,' we suddenly have vocals added to the score, provided by Miriam Stockley. His soft piano theme slowly melds with the strings, and the woodwinds slowly come in with the occasional harp pluckalmost the same type of orchestration he did in The English Patient. Right off the bat, you can tell this is going to be a good one.

Now we enter Yared's section of the album. The last song on the album before we hit the orchestral score is the romantic ballad, 'Our Love Never Ends.' Piano and strings are all Sydney Forest needs to accompany her, and it's a rather sad and emotional song. The upbeat 'Beautiful' is sung by Jennifer Paige, which is followed by the jazzier (and smoother) 'Getting Some Fun Out of Life.' The title song, 'Autumn in New York' is crooned out by Yvonne Washington, and its relaxing jazz bass line and soft percussion is just perfect. The first four songs are a mixed bunch stylistically. Headed by four enjoyable songs, the album contains over forty minutes of score, and Yared does what we expect him to do with a romantic film of this typeprovide a highly effective score evoking images of love, drama, and Autumn. What worked for The English Patient, City of Angels, and Message in a Bottle seems to work here as well. That same philosophy might apply to Gabriel Yared's latest work for Autumn in New York.

The adage goes, 'if it's not broken, don't fix it'.
