This will be a short article today, acting more as a musical adendum to yesterday’s movie entry from Turkey – Mucize (The Miracle) 2015 – Mahsun Kırmızıgül (Friday’s Finest). There were so many wonderful aspects of the film I already discussed including the imposing, yet inspiring film soundtrack. Such was the music’s prominence it felt like it resonated beyond the film itself. The soundtrack is a rich tapestry of melodies that blend traditional Turkish musical elements with contemporary orchestral arrangements. Composed by Mahsun Kırmızıgül, Yıldıray Gürgen, and Tevfik Akbaşlı, the score reflects to a tee the film’s emotional depth and cultural setting.
The album features 32 tracks capturing various moods—from uplifting and hopeful to introspective and poignant. It seamlessly integrates traditional motifs with modern cinematic scoring techniques. I have presented my three favourite pieces of music from the movie, namely the title track – Mektup, Intihar and Fragman Müziği. Let me tell you, it wasn’t easy to restrict it to just three since the whole soundtrack is so beautiful. I sincerely hope you able to get to see this film which is transmitted free to view in full on You tube.
