Blumberg won the Academy Award for Best Original Score for \u003cem\u003eThe Brutalist\u003c\/em\u003e; here he works from Shaker hymnody rather than toward it, taking ten archival hymns and reimagining them alongside three original songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe music was built on set rather than written to picture afterward, growing alongside the choreography and the performances. Blumberg assembled close to a hundred singers for it. The extreme vocal improvisers Maggie Nicols, Phil Minton, Shelley Hirsch and Freya Edmondes sing next to untrained voices, the High Holborn Chamber Choir and the Campbell Works Choir, and the result is closer to a wordless mass of vocal texture than to choral arrangement. Thomasin McKenzie takes the lead vocal on the title piece, Amanda Seyfried on \"Beautiful Treasures.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder and around the voices sit tuned percussion, spectral bell tones and celeste, with an ensemble of experimental players: Steve Noble on percussion, Tom Wheatley on double bass and viol, Joel Grip on double bass, Billy Steiger and Angharad Davies on violin, Okkyung Lee on cello and Rhodri Davies on harp. Blumberg himself plays celeste, hand bells, chimes and bells across most of the record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe end-credits song \"Clothed by the Sun\" closes side D, sung as a duet by Blumberg and Seyfried. Thirty-three pieces run across the four sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe double vinyl is housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves carrying the full per-track credits, designed by Sebastian Pardo, the film's title designer, working with Blumberg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Testament of Ann Lee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManchester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHero Prayer One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalk to Infirmary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInfirmary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalk to Wardleys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWardleys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSex Celeste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful Treasures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSearch for Ann\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Never Did Believe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHunger \u0026amp; Thirst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower Deck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToday Today\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll is Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide C\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagical Boat Ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn's Running Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNiskayuna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Eclipse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBow Down O Zion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding \u0026amp; Growing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWilliam Walking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Love Mother (Pretty Mother's Home)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide D\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone Prison\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShattuck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown to the Deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful Treasures Funeral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClothed by the Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 199584323213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Milan Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.25.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Milan Records","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":48226590294174,"sku":"EVP-55976F7D-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/TheTestamentOfAnnLee_LP_Packshot_Cover_wVinyl-copy.jpg?v=1790141438","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/daniel-blumberg-the-testament-of-ann-lee-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-lp","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
