“Warner is adept at creating timeless sounding scores for films with expansive stories and for this historical drama, she balances gravitas and grandeur with playful, energetic cues.”
Hollywood Reporter – Abbey White
“…at the heart of the film for both its leading women — a relationship Warner gave its own theme, full of deep woodwind, more muted piano trills and harmonics”
Movie-wave.net – James Southall
“There’s a lovely, lilting main theme introduced in “Welcome to Ireland” with swooning strings complete with Gaelic accompaniment; bittersweet comedy in tracks like “Cemetery”; the occasional Irish jig (including one by Brian Byrne, “Shanley’s Delight”, which is quite delightful); more urgent drama as the romance is threatened in “The Phone Call” and “Open the Shutters”; and the inevitable sweeping finale, “The End”. It’s all very pleasant and very easy to listen to.”

“Warner combines a number of familiar(ish) elements and in doing so creates a wholly unique musical landscape. It may remind me of many things, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything quite like it.”
Movie Music UK – Jonathan Broxton
“It’s a lush, beautiful, overwhelmingly romantic depiction of rural Ireland, written for a full orchestra, and featuring several regional instruments to give it a distinct Celtic flair.”
Awards Daily – Joey Moser
“Warner scores Thyme with a delicate hand… The score is lovely and soothing partner to Shanley’s script.”
