My classical guitar arrangement of "An Ideal of Hope" by Hans Zimmer from the movie Man of Steel.
I really enjoy the film scores of Hans Zimmer. His music is very different from the thematic approach found in the John Williams Superman: The Movie soudtrack. However, I find Zimmer's score to Man of Steel to be equally heroic in design. I wouldn't describe Zimmer as a minimalist composer but he does tend to use a minimal amount of material. He is not an impressionist but he often evokes a mood or the impression of an idea. This made my classical guitar arrangement of An Ideal of Hope somewhat challenging.
I took a few liberties with the guitar arrangement. I normalized some of the rhythms at the top and this setting is obviously shorter than the original composition. My version was mainly developed from a published piano reduction. I hope I at least captured the spirit of the piece.
