Stephens, Performed by John Legend King of the Earth Written and Performed by John Ondrasik God Bless the Child Written by Arthur Herzog, Jr. and Billie Holiday, Performed by Chris Botti and Paula Cole La Bamba Performed by Leon Thomas III Augusts Rhapsody Written by Mark Mancina The final number with Lyla and Louis begins with Lyla playing the Adagio-Moderato from Edward Elgars Cello Concerto in E Minor. Except for Dueling Guitars, all of Augusts guitar pieces were played by American guitarist-composer Kaki King. Kings hands are used in close-ups for August Rush. Composer Mark Mancina spent over a year and a half composing the score of August Rush. The heart of the story is how we respond and connect through music. Its about this young boy who believes that hes going to find his parents through his music. Thats what drives him.[1] The final theme of the movie was composed first. That way I could take bits and pieces of the ending piece and relate it to the things that are happening in (Augusts) life. All of the themes are pieces of the puzzle, so at the end it means something because youve been subliminally hearing it throughout the film.[2] The score was recorded at the Todd-AO Scoring Stage and the Eastwood Scoring Stage at Warner Brothers.[3]
