Experience the bold, immersive reimagining of Shaker musical tradition with the original motion picture soundtrack for Mona Fastvold’s The Testament of Ann Lee. Academy Award-winning composer Daniel Blumberg presents radical reinterpretations of traditional hymns alongside original compositions shaped directly on set.

Developed in deep collaboration with Fastvold, the music grew alongside the film’s choreography and performances, drawing heavily on the physicality and ecstatic vocal practices of Shaker worship. Blumberg assembled nearly 100 singers, including extreme vocal improvisers Maggie Nicols, Phil Minton, Shelley Hirsch, and Freya Edmondes, alongside a cast of untrained voices, to create a wordless cacophony of vocal textures mirroring the Shakers’ ecstatic spiritual practices.

This unique vocal landscape intertwines with tuned percussion, spectral bell tones, celeste, and an ensemble of experimental string players, forming a sonic world that is both elemental and deeply spiritual. The soundtrack features ten reimagined Shaker hymns performed by the cast, plus three original songs, including the end credits song ‘Clothed by the Sun’ performed as a duet by Blumberg and Amanda Seyfried.
