Powerful, moody score in the style of Batman Begins (but with more melodic definition), The Thin Red Line and Hannibal. The strings dominate with strong choral support. As I listened to the music, I was most struck by its similarity to a lot of Rachmaninoff's symphonic music - not suprising since he was influenced by liturgical music, and this score is obviously leaning toward that almost-sacred sound. I've not (yet) seen the movie, but the music perfectly captures the mood of the book. Most tracks are dark and brooding, with occasional spikes of action. There are some very powerful choral tracks in here as well. Track 12 is downright creepy and hair-raising, with unsettled strings and solo violin and cello jumping in and out of the texture.
