“Footnote” Suite, comprises several of the main musical themes from the soundtrack Amit Poznansky composed for Joseph Cedar's film Footnote. The Suite has a neo-classical character and is built like a waltz, which undergoes many transformations throughout it. The music reflects the main characters in the film and their contrasting forces: the strictness and seriousness of Eliezer, the father, against the tenderness and forgiveness of Uriel, the son. Yet, each one has a hint of the other. These two forces collide, at times, but they create a beautiful harmonic musical reflection of the complexity of the storyline.
The film won the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Screenplay (2011), was nominated for an Academy Award in the category of Best Foreign Language Film (2012), and the soundtrack was chosen as Best Original Score (Feature Film) at the International Samobor Film Music Festival in Croatia (2013).
The original soundtrack was recorded by the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Doron Salomon.
In 2017, the piece was performed by Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Zubin Mehta, in the opening of their 82nd season, and in their USA and Canada tour.
The arrangement on this video, was specially commissioned by the TAU Wind Band, conducted by Uri Reisner, and premiered at the "Film Music Evening" concert at the Smolarsh Hall, Tel Aviv University, on January 2, 2020.
