这部配乐的作曲家是Alan Silvestri。Alan Silvestri和导演Roberts Zemeckis属于黄金搭档,Roberts Zemeckis执导的所有电影配乐均由AS作曲。如阿甘正传、回到未来、极地特快等。
因为电影是北欧神话的题材,此次的Beowulf配乐也采用了配合电影的主题,以北欧民乐为基础的主旋律大气十足,用了很多电子乐,但是主题还是管弦乐,个人觉得跟Hans Zimmer团队的作曲风格接近。配乐多处使用合声,男合声使得配乐充满了力量感,女合声则添加了那种神话史诗的氛围,而Robin Penn-Wright空灵的女声不时的飘出,让人耳朵一亮。Idina Menzel最后演唱的主题曲饱含能量,嗓音颇具贯穿力。总而言之,这是一部肥而不腻的配乐,值得一听。(review by gujun)
The soundtrack was released November 20, 2007.Songwriter Alan Silvestri was largely responsible for the production of the soundtrack album, although actresses Robin Wright Penn and Idina Menzel performed several songs in the soundtrack's score. The majority of Silvestri's work on this soundtrack expresses violent and foreshadowing tones, although several scores on the soundtrack display gentler, more anthem-like tendencies
