The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the soundtrack album of the 3D movie of the same name. David Arnold composed the soundtrack, which will be released on December 7, 2010.

Background
It was announced on October 9, 2007 that award-winning composer David Arnold will score the film with the themes composed by Harry Gregson-Williams (who scored The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian ). It will be the Arnold's fourth collaboration with Apted after  The World Is Not Enough ,  Enough  and  Amazing Grace .

Score
Arnold worked with an 87-piece Orchestra and a 40-piece choir to record the score for the film. He also worked with Paul Apted (Michael Apted's son) in editing the score, which he regarded that it was "going to be epic.". Arnold also stated that he will not be collaborating with Lisbeth Scott whose vocals are used to the first two films and he also created specific themes for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Reepicheep. He also remarked that for the film to stay in-themed with the franchise, he will use the themes by Gregson-Williams for the opening and closing scenes - such as the scenes featuring Aslan.

The scoring sessions took place during September and was completed on October 8, 2010.
