The Private Lives of Elisabeth and Essex

Album by Erich Wolfgang Korngold

The Private Lives of Elisabeth and Essex is the film score by Erich Wolfgang Korngold for the 1939 film of the same name. The score is characterised by late-Romantic orchestral writing with sweeping string lines, prominent brass and woodwind colours and recurring leitmotifs, and is representative of Korngold's 1930s Hollywood output that fused European symphonic traditions with studio film-scoring practice.
