It's perfect for the movie. It's not a typical generic fantasy film, it's very gritty and realistic in some parts. This is half of the 80 minutes that JNH wrote for the movie. The music like JNH said, it's focusing on Katniss's feelings. The country bits are the kind of sound that T-Bone Burnett and Danny Elfman wanted to bring since the shooting started, especially with the songs performed on the movie. Horn Of Plenty and Katniss's theme are amazing and I can't take it out of my mind.

And like I expected, the score is very I Am Legend/The Happening like. It could have been worst, it could have been pure noise ala Green Lantern, but no, JNH respected the source material and brought a lot of emotion, and the orchestra, ethnic instruments and choir are very well used.

And this is the first movie, JNH is going to develop his themes much more better on the sequel.

Yeah I know I saw the movie and thought how the music could've been more memorable and have a bigger impact. There are a few pieces that sounded wonderful in the movie (primarily Horn of Plenty) but it's just anonymous for the rest of the score, which is a bit disappointing given the popularity of the books and film. No instantly recognizable theme for this franchise either, I guess... hopefully it gets better in the sequels yeah

He's a musician and a songwriter. When him and Elfman were announced to collaborate on the music for HG I thought Elfman would write the score and Burnett would write or produce the songs (he won Best Original Song for Crazy Heart). But now he's listed as an executive producer of the score, so I suppose Elfman left since he was obviously forced to write a score with someone else producing it. No wonder he didn't like it since it's usually the composer who is the score producer and he doesn't need someone else to to tell him what to do. JNH probably didn't mind this and he made the score the way he was instructed to, atmosferic, restrained and percussion-driven

Ah.. Cheers for the info. Horn of Plenty seems to be made originally by Arcane Fire if I read right, but all is credited to James Newton Howard it seems, atleast what I have seen so far.

It's credited to James Newton Howard because, technically it's HIS arrangment of the song COMPOSED by Arcade Fire. They don't flat out put EVERY artist of the songs on the back of the CD, there's just not enough space. I'm sure it's mentioned in the booklet about the whole deal with Horn Of Plenty, just think of the Angels and Demons OST. Some of those cues had like 4 Composers on them, but they were all written to Hans Zimmer just to simplify things. It happens. I'm sure however, in the booklet (as always) everyone is credited. Now that that's out of the way, here's the Score + Prexisting Songs + The Album in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, and YES it is right. I did it myself so i'm sure:

14 - Sediment - Laurie Spiegel (Right when Katniss comes up the tube and onto her pedistal that each of the tributes are on. When everything is very bright and her eyes are disoriented.)
15 - A Wasp On Her Adbomen - Chas Smith
16 - Three Movements For Orchestra, Mvt. 1 - Lower Austrian Tonkünstler Orchestra and Kristjan Järvi (Chorus Sine Nomine Conductor)
NOTE: 15 and 16 are mixed together in the film to make the Cornucopia Fight Sequence and Katniss' Flee to the woods.)

30 - Safe & Sound - Taylor Swift Featuring The Civil Wars
31 - Kingdom Come - The Civil Wars

And then, you can arrange the remainder of the "Songs From District 12 And Beyond" Album however you wish.

Just from making this list and listening to the score, the most noteable gaps are between 11 and 12, 16 and 17, and 17 and 18. I was disappointed that the cue when Katniss comes in for Private Training was excluded Hopefully we'll get an expanded someday.

EDIT: Added the scenes for which the Prexisting Songs were used for and fixed typos

I'm not sure this is the full soundtrack, there seems to be some mislabeled cues/extras. I'm not sure but I thought I would share either way.

[scrat28]

The entire score was on youtube yesterday. Someone downloaded it before it was removed, converted it into mp3, and uploaded it on mdiafire. The quality isn't so good but it's great to have it until the real album comes thanks!!

[Drunkenmunkey]

It is. Not labeled correctly and bad quality

[fuck23]

The extra tracks are some of the production music. Caeser Flickerman's Theme is just "War" but somehow despite the easy availability and it flat out states the proper author they got the WRONG version of "War", it's supposed to be by the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble and it's easily available on itunes, they included "Marissa's Flashback" from Hanna but neglected to include the other extra tracks. I dont recommend this, at least i don't recommend you keep this version. If you just follow the list i posted you should have everything you need and the correct versions of everything. If I need to post sources on where you can find the proper tracks i shall.

thanks for sharing!!

Now that I saw the movie again, knowing which is the score, and which is the source music, the music is much more better, it brings a sense of brutality to the games, warm and charm to the intimate scenes, wonder and epicness to the Capitol scenes, and tragedy to the emotional scenes.

Actually, I assumed that "A Wasp On Her Abdomen" WAS going to be for the tracker-jacker sequence...but it's NOT actually, they use the opening of it right after the count down and everyone runs off the pedistals, then it begins to fade into "3 Movements for Orchestra, Mvt. 1" and is never heard again the entire movie, not even during the tracker jacker sequence. So eh, idk.

Do you mind sharing it? I bought the limited edition soundtrack.. & I'm buying the score tomorrow.. But I would like your version.. It seems more complete

Lol, it wouldn't much anything new, just be the production tracks (again, source tracks are typically when the music is coming from an on screen source such as a radio or television) basically, and a properly split version of "Tenuous Winners/Returning Home"
