It also introduces the malevolent, wavering string theme for Claudius played by Derek Jacobi , indicating his treachery and involvement in the death of Hamlet's father. Pitted against this is a plaintive rendition of Hamlet's theme, foreshadowing the conflict to come between the two men. After this, the highlights simply keep on coming.

The heavenly string work in "What a Piece of Work is a Man" is achingly sad, reflecting Hamlet's inner turmoil as he comes to terms with both his father's death and his uncle's involvement in it.

In direct contrast, the lively, skipping strings and brass of "What Players are They" reflect the pomp and circumstance of the Danish court, hearkening back to Doyle's delightful work on Much Ado About Nothing. Instead of reaching for grandiose weight as he does in the rest of the score, Doyle instead presents a textural piece for low, growling choir, brushed cymbals and other eerie effects, perhaps out of a desire not to impose on the text or Branagh's delivery of it.

That said Hamlet's theme is still present to connect the piece emotionally to the rest of the score. Doyle claims in the album notes that he was inspired by Winslet's performance of the scene in which Ophelia reads a letter sent to her by Hamlet.

The defiant statement of Hamlet's theme in the latter is especially impressive. Yet the sense of melodic tragedy is never far away with "Alas Poor Yorick" and "Sweets to the Sweet — Farewell" featuring some of the score's most moving material. Yet by this stage the music is somewhat desolate, the humanity lessened by the overwhelming nature of everything that has happened.

Following another reprisal of the noble Danish theme in "Give Me Your Pardon Sir", there's then time for a dose of thrilling action music in "Part Them They Are Incensed", Doyle reaching Jerry Goldsmith levels of excitement with racing strings and dynamite orchestration.

The score then reaches its magnificent conclusion in "Goodnight Sweet Prince" and "Go Bid the Soldiers Shoot", the former understated and moving, the latter ushering in a spectacular choral statement of Hamlet's theme to bring everything to a rousing close. Doyle has always been one of the most sensitive and melodic of film composers but Hamlet is special even by his standards, beautifully expressing the tragic nature and epic scope of Shakespeare's masterpiece.

Although the score is perhaps more utilitarian than one would expect, sacrificing leitmotifs in favour of a dominant theme, this works entirely in the score's favour, heightening its emotional impact and preventing it from becoming bitty and haphazard. Scoring Hamlet presented a notable challenge for Doyle but he rose to the occasion and was deservedly awarded with an Oscar nomination for his efforts. In terms of its sheer emotional impact, Hamlet is possibly the greatest score of Doyle's career, overflowing with gorgeous melodies; one can only hope for an extended album release in future that presents Doyle's masterpiece in its entirety.
