Background
Mychael Danna composed the film score for Chloe continuing his two-decade-old association with Egoyan that began with Family Viewing (1987).[2] Egoyan wanted the music to feel like really rhapsodic, lush and then turn on itself to become more discordant. He felt the music had to understanding the characters' psychology and their obsession. Danna used operatic themes to highlight the characters' unusual romance, with Richard Wagner's 1865s opera Tristan und Isolde serving as a foundation to the score.[3][4] Egoyan's sister Eve played classical piano on the score.[2]
Reception
Graham Killeen of Milwaukee Journal Sentinel stated "A wonderfully overwrought score by Mychael Danna, who also composed music for The Ice Storm, transforms Chloe into the kind of romance novel Ang Lee might have written, with pleasures both guilty and otherwise."[5]
Dana Stevens of Slate wrote, "Mychael Danna’s intrusive score [instructs] us how to feel in virtually every moment of every scene."[6] Anthony Lane of The New Yorker wrote, "Even the throbbing score, by Mychael Danna, sounds unwittingly risible".[7] A. O. Scott of The New York Times called it an "engorged musical score".[8] Allan Hunter of Screen International called it a "lush, Bernard Herrman-style score".[9] Todd McCarthy of Variety called the score "intense".[10] John Nugent of WhatCulture wrote, "Composer Mychael Danna dips into stock thriller music in a valiant effort to make everything seem exciting, but it's at direct odds with the definitively unexciting action".[11]
