An Amazing Playlist – The Hanging Tree

Another good one from James Newton Howard, this time from Mockingjay pt1, part of the Hunger Games series that my daughter Dakota just loves. This one starts off with vocals from Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence). This is another one of those where the music builds and builds as Katniss is joined in the song by others in the rebellion…and then the orchestra takes over completely reaching a marvelous…crescendo? I think thats the right term…anyway, take a listen and enjoy…
