Composition
Film director François Girard stated violinist Joshua Bell and Corigliano were involved from the outset, and reviewed every version of the screenplay as it was in development.
Much of the score had to be written before principal photography, which is rare in film. After shooting completed, Corigliano finished "Anna's theme".
