Le Nom De La Rose is an album by the late James Horner, a renowned film composer known for his exceptional work in movies such as Titanic and Avatar. This album features music from the 1986 film, The Name of the Rose, directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud.

The album opens with the track "Main Title," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The haunting melody and the use of the choir create an eerie and mysterious atmosphere, perfectly capturing the essence of the film. The album features a range of instruments, including strings, percussion, and woodwinds, all of which are masterfully blended to create a rich and immersive sound.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Library," which features a beautiful and delicate piano melody accompanied by a string section. The track perfectly captures the serene and peaceful atmosphere of the library in the film. Another notable track is "The Burning," which is a dramatic and intense piece, featuring a powerful choir and percussion.
