Editing Gabriel Yared (section)

==Film scores==
Yared is best known for his collaborations with the late [[Anthony Minghella]].  His first collaboration with Minghella was the 1996 film ''[[The English Patient (film)|The English Patient]]'', which was highly acclaimed and won him an Oscar for Best Original Score.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Kosovsky|first=Bob|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/4487447|title=Reviewed Works: Gabriel Yared's The English Patient: A Film Score Guide by Heather Laing|journal=Notes|volume=61|date=2005|pages=749–752|doi=10.1353/not.2005.0019 |jstor=4487447 }}</ref>  He composed the scores for all of Minghella's subsequent films and the music for the television series ''[[The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (TV series)|The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency]]'', co-created by Minghella and [[Richard Curtis]].

Aside from his work with Minghella, Yared scored a number of other films, including ''[[Betty Blue]]'' (1986), ''[[Map of the Human Heart]]'' (1992), ''[[City of Angels (film)|City of Angels]]'' (1998), ''[[Message in a Bottle (film)|Message in a Bottle]]'' (1999), ''[[Autumn in New York (film)|Autumn in New York]]'' (2000), ''[[The Next Best Thing]]'' (2000), ''[[Possession (2002 film)|Possession]]'' (2002), and ''[[Bon Voyage (2003 film)|Bon Voyage]]'' (2003). He had a notable collaboration with [[René Laloux]] in the late 1980s on [[Gandahar_(film)|Gandahar]]<ref>{{Cite journal|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/27106985|jstor=27106985|title=Music and Soundscapes in René Laloux's Animated Feature Films|author=Guilloux, Florian|year=2019|journal=Lied und populäre Kultur / Song and Popular Culture|volume=64|pages=183–200}}</ref> and ''How Wang-fo was saved'' produced at the [[SEK Studio]] in [[North Korea]].

[[Cassandra Clare]] reported in August 2012 that Yared was tapped to compose the score for ''[[The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones]]''. However, he was eventually replaced on the project by [[Atli Örvarsson]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://filmmusicreporter.com/2013/04/15/atli-orvarsson-to-score-the-mortal-instruments-city-of-bones/ |title=Atli Örvarsson to Score 'The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones' |publisher=Film Music Reporter |access-date=2014-05-15}}</ref>

===''Troy'' soundtrack===
In 2004, Yared's score for the film ''[[Troy (film)|Troy]]'' was rejected less than a month before the film's opening as a result of the poor reception by a [[test screening]] audience.<ref>[https://www.screendaily.com/features/gabriel-yared-on-scoring-betty-blue-working-with-minghella-and-being-fired-from-troy/5154155.article Gabriel Yared on scoring ‘Betty Blue’, working with Minghella and being fired from ‘Troy’]</ref> The test audience were said to have found Yared's music too "brassy and bold". [[James Horner]], the composer of the scores for such films as ''[[Braveheart (film)|Braveheart]]'' and ''[[Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic]]'' was then hired to create a replacement score in less than four weeks.

Yared expressed his dismay at the score's rejection in an open letter which was posted on his website. He said that the score which the test audience had heard was not yet finished and mixed properly, and that the studio had given him no opportunity to alter his score in light of the audience's reaction.

[[Warner Bros.]] still owns the rights to Yared's ''Troy'' score and an official recording is not currently available and may never be (although selections from the score were briefly posted on Yared's website and private promotional CD).{{Citation needed|date=January 2012}}

Film score critic Christian Clemmensen of [[Filmtracks.com]] felt that Yared's work for ''Troy'' was far superior to what Horner had written, giving Horner's score a 3-star rating and Yared's a 5-star rating, saying that it was "outstanding," and called it the "pinnacle of Yared's career."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/troy.html |title=Troy (Gabriel Yared/James Horner) |publisher=Filmtracks |date=2004-05-11 |access-date=2014-05-15}}</ref>
