"[Alexandre Desplat's] 'Lily’s Theme' from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 received the perfect touch from soprano and student at Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts, Madeline Yarbrough. Her ethereal vocalizations and deft grace notes added just the right childlike tenderness to Harry’s maternal loss."
