“I really cannot recommend Washington Black enough, especially to those who are drawn to that rich and expressive John Williams sound, and want to hear an exceptionally accomplished homage to that. And as for Cameron Moody, this is one of the most impressive mainstream debuts in years. Not only did he compose all of this himself, he conducted and orchestrated it too, and in doing so he shows a level of orchestral sophistication, emotional intelligence, drama, and narrative structure, way beyond his years. Like I keep repeating, he’s only 22. Composers twice, three times, his age don’t have what he has at his fingertips. Mark my words; he’s going to be a superstar.”
Jonathan Broxton, Movie Music UK — Washington Black
“The first thing that hits you about Hulu’s new historical drama Washington Black is the enchanting score. Though the 19th-century-set series, all episodes of which debut July 23, centers on heavy topics like slavery and oppression, its bright, sweeping orchestral music also marks it as a classic adventure story in the vein of Around the World in Eighty Days or Oliver Twist… clear-eyed about historical truths but also full of whimsical dreams that transcend their time.”
