Commissioned to marry the personal interaction of the stage with the grandness and emotion of epic film making, 17 year old, Daniel Thompson composed the music for the stage production of Macbeth.

In 2000, Thompson did it again with Shakespeareâs âHamlet.â As sorrow, madness and rage engulfed Hamlet and Ophelia, the audience became entrapped by the subtle undertones of Thompsonâs orchestral expressions of their inner turmoil.

In 2004, Thompsonâs music gained a new honor as the stage production of King Lear was performed in the Globe Theatre at Southern Utah Universityâs Shakespearean Festival.

âThe William Shakespeare Soundtrackâ is the ultimate orchestral collection of these three great works.
