and writer-director Greta Gerwig had a non-traditional idea for Sony’s 2019 version: “We wanted the music to be a duet of Mozart and Bowie,” Desplat laughs. There are no rock music touches in the score, but there is a modern sense of urgency to the music, which reflects the filmmaker’s approach to Louisa May Alcott’s classic book.
“I made several versions of many cues, and Greta liked them all and started playing with them,” he says. “When I saw the movie, the music felt almost wall to wall. It was like watching a ballet with beautiful people in beautiful places, discovering life, keeping their innocence and at the same time losing it.”
“Mozart for me is the No. 1 composer. His music is not just joy or sadness. It’s deep emotion with a touch of lightness, which is the most difficult thing to do. [Laughs] I’m not saying I’m Mozart! But his beauty is what you aim at.”Early on, there is music in the tavern where Jo dances. In a lively piece that’s different from anything he’s done before, Desplat made sure it sounded authentic. “We needed something raw, with music coming from five guys who’d maybe just arrived in this country.
Finally, Desplat refers to a joyful scene in the movie in which the March family’s matriarch, Marmee , is leaving for Washington, D.C. There, the music begins in an upbeat mood, which quickly grows more somber as it reflects the mood everyone is feeling in that moment. “The emotions are all piled up. It’s sadness, joy, desire of love, hope. It’s always in layers and the music had to capture that.”
