The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the soundtrack album of the The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (film).
Description[]
It was announced on October 9, 2007 that award-winning composer David Arnold would score the film with themes composed by Harry Gregson-Williams (the composer behind The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian). It's Arnold's fourth collaboration after The World Is Not Enough, Enough and Amazing Grace.
Recording[]
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 was going to be "epic".
Arnold also stated that he wouldn't be collaborating with Lisbeth Scott, whose vocals are used to the first two films. Though he remarked that for the film to stay in-themed with the franchise, he would use the themes by Gregson-Williams for specific scenes, such as the opening and closing scenes.
