The Michael Nyman Orchestra is a group that expands on the Michael Nyman Band for specific album work, often for movie soundtracks.

History

In 1993, the Michael Nyman Band joined an orchestra for the first time in their recording history with MGV: Musique à Grand Vitesse. The album credit is to "The Michael Nyman Band and Orchestra".

The Michael Nyman Orchestra has operated as a formal group since then. Such soundtrack albums as Practical Magic, Ravenous, The End of the Affair, The Claim, and The Libertine are credited to this Orchestra. While the former two titles lack detailed credits, the latter three albums show that most of the Orchestra has remained consistent.

Personnel

From the 2000 soundtrack album The Claim.
