Varese Sarabande has announced a soundtrack release for the documentary Jig. The film’s music is by Patrick Doyle who also has two blockbuster scores coming out this summer (Thor, Rise of the Planet of the Apes). Apart from the score, the soundtrack also features the song Now Is Your Time with music written by the composer and performed by his daughter Abigail Doyle. The album will be released on July 12, 2011 and is available for pre-order on Amazon. Jig is directed and produced by Sue Bourne and tells the story of the 40th Irish Dancing World Championships.
