Clint Eastwood has recently recorded his original music for his latest directorial effort J. Edgar. The orchestral score was recorded at the Eastwood Scoring Stage at Warner Bros.

I dare someone in this town to make a comment…..go on, make my day!
I’ll say it, HIRE A REAL COMPOSER. His “scores” are TERRIBLE!
me too. Go on Clint hire a real composer for your next film would you?
What is the name of the slow piano song that plays at the end of the movie. I want to get a copy of the song. It is soo beautiful. What also plays throughout the whole movie from time to time. What is the nam and who is the composer? Please let me know.
i think you will find it is “shadows in the moonlight”
The name of the slow piano song that plays at the end of the movie is: “Red Sails In The Sunset” (Written by James Kennedy and Hugh Williams) Performed by Kyle Eastwood, Joe Bagg, Kye Palmer, Jason Harnell. And I didn’t find this song, in a WWW. it’s seems, to me, that was played only in the movie, unfortunately.
