Two of Rolfe Kent’s recent scores, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past and 17 Again, now receive their official score album releases courtesy of Silva Screen Records. The label notes that Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, the fantasy comedy starring Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner that opened in the US in May, is “not just a romantic comedy score but also offers drama, as part of Rolfe’s approach was to get the characters down in music, to give them musical motifs.” Kent himself said that “For me Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past was an opportunity to do some big dramatic symphonic things.”  The same goes for 17 Again, also a romantic comedy but with a big orchestral score. “The music called for a full orchestra, and the players delivered such magnificent and dynamic sounds it really was a wonderful experience,” Kent commented. Starring Zac Effron, 17 Again opened in the US in April.

Rolfe Kent has been scoring films since the early 1990s. He is best known for his comedy scores, including Sideways, Wedding Crashers and Mean Girls. His other recent scores include two films starring George Clooney: The Men Who Stare at Goats and Up in the Air.

Both albums will be available on CD and for download next week, on October 13.
