Caldera Records proudly presents John Cameron’s score for the Agatha Christie adaptation The Mirror Crack’d.

The Mirror Crack’d allowed Cameron to showcase his versatility as a composer. His score consists of three elements: a theme for the film’s main character, Marina; tense suspense music, and a jolly village tune that pays homage to the film’s setting in 1953’s England. Although the film takes place in that period, Cameron was wary of nostalgia. Rather than situating his score stylistically in the past, he sought to bridge the gap between the 1950s and 1980s. The use of the saxophone was a logical choice since it had been employed in the middle of the century and since then found increasing popularity in rock and soul music.

John Cameron crafted a colorful and memorable score to what has become a crime classic. We are pleased to make it available for the first time on an album and are grateful to StudioCanal for working with us on the project.
