I could've sworn that the music played as bertie walked to the Parliament, was from Beethoven's second piano concerto.

The King's Speech (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

The King’s Speech, directed by Tom Hooper, portrays the relationship between Bertie, the future King George VI (Colin Firth), and the speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), who helps Bertie overcome his debilitating stammer. Composer Alexandre Desplat, one of the hardest working men in show business —The Ghost Writer and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows: Part 1 are just two of the other movies he scored in 2010 — provided the film’s music. You might think a movie that deals with royalty would feature bombastic accompaniment, but Desplat took a subtle approach to the project. He’s careful not to overpower the intimacy of the story of a man struggling to make meaningful sounds. Melodies are delicately etched on piano as strings often float in an almost ambient manner. (“The Rehearsal,” with its chugging rhythm and flute interjections, is probably the perkiest piece here.) The album also includes excerpts of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony and the “Emperor” Concerto performed by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Terry Davies, with Steven Osborne at the piano.

6. The King's Speech (2010)

The 'speech' itself may be set to Beethoven, but Desplat’s Bafta-winning themes are surely his warmest and prettiest. They're beautifully played on the original soundtrack by the composer’s regular pianist, Dave Arch, with the gentlest of string and woodwind accompaniments. Brief but very classy.

Beethoven's music in 'The King's Speech' a magical match

• Updated: Jan. 17, 2011, 7:20 p.m.

There's a moment in the film

that absolutely soars. It comes near the end when poor Bertie has been crowned as

after his brother abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson.

Superbly played by

, Bertie (his family nickname) dreaded public speaking because of a speech impediment. He was horrified when he had to ascend the throne in 1937 because he knew what the job entailed. Two years later, he gave a major speech that BBC Radio broadcast throughout the empire, announcing Britain's entry into World War II. The speech serves as the climax of the film. We've seen him humiliate himself on a number of previous occasions, unable to get the words out.

The film lets time drag as we see Bertie struggle with clicks and stutters to form the words. It's excruciating and I found myself tensing up each time.

But now he's the king and after working intensely with Lionel Logue, an Australian speech therapist, beautifully underplayed by Geoffrey Rush, Bertie is about to give the speech of his life. The stakes couldn't be higher. Britain needs a leader to take it to war.

The buildup begins as he and Logue walk Buckingham Palace's endless corridors toward the broadcast room, passing dozens of broadcasters who wish him well. At last, they enter the room with the microphone. They're alone. Logue throws open the window -- he believes fresh air helps -- as Bertie tries to compose himself.

The countdown begins -- four blinks of a red light followed by steady red. Bertie's fear is agonizing to watch.

And then this: As Firth struggles at first, we hear the ominous chugging of musical chords. Moments later, the calm, gentle Allegretto of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony spreads over the pulsing rhythm. The melody is smooth, unruffled, an aural metaphor for Bertie's aspirations.

With Logue silently prompting him through the difficult spots, the sweet, melancholic music unfolds, building in intensity, then subsiding, lasting exactly as long as the speech.

Nevermind the irony of hearing German music during a speech about going to war with Hitler. The scene brims with feeling between patient and therapist, who went on to became lifelong friends. It's a magnificent moment. If ever music and intention matched, this is it.

Music (Score)

The score for this movie was written by a guy named Alexandre Desplat. And by "a guy," we mean "a French composer that's killed it composing for such diverse movies as The Grand Budapest Hotel, Godzilla, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and Argo. "

Monsieur Desplat has an Academy Award, seven Academy Award nominations, two BAFTA Awards, a Golden Globe, and two Grammys to his name. And it's not hard to see why—there are some points in this movie where the combination of great acting and Desplat's score are bound to get you choked up.

For example, check out the scene where Bertie puts on the recording of himself reciting Hamlet and notice how subtly Desplat's music comes in behind the reading. Or just listen to the little piano song that comes in on the final seconds of the movie when Bertie and Logue share one final look of friendship. It's all so sweet and emotional that it reminds you how effective classical music still is in movies.
