![]() Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest became the most successful movie of 2006. Composer Hans Zimmer, who had written themes for the first Pirates film, took over the scoring duties and delivered a score that resulted in a smash soundtrack success, selling over 220,000 copies worldwide. Expanding on the original score, Zimmer created new themes for the villains (Davy Jones, Beckett and the East India Trading Company, The Kraken), as well as giving Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow a few new themes of his own. Now Zimmer returns for the next film in the trilogy, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, and he's bringing a whole boatload of new themes to add to the ever-growing pile of thematic booty. He's also bringing along the musical sensibilities that he had in his critically acclaimed score to The Da Vinci Code, with a more orchestral concert sound at times, and even an oboe solo - probably a first for a Bruckheimer film! Where the first film brought us the often-played "He's a Pirate" theme, this third film brings in a whole new melody - a song called "Hoist the Colours". Originally written for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, this new pirate shanty is heard throughout the score, uniting all the pirates together under one melody. We're also taken to Singapore, where Captain Sao Feng (Chow Yun Fat) gets his own Asian theme, as well as to the ends of the earth where not only do Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightly) get a new love theme, but it's a super-theme that also encompasses Davy Jones' lost love and is versatile enough to work as a new Jack Sparrow theme as well. Hans Zimmer's score album to Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End will hit stores on May 22, 2007, and the film opens three days later on May 25th. SoundtrackNet hasn't seen the finished film - so we're not entirely sure what's happening during all of the music cues, and it's possible (even likely!) that what follows could be incorrect in some aspects. But we're excited to kick off our Summer 2007 coverage for you with an exclusive track-by-track "first listen", with sound clips, of Walt Disney Records' Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. 01.
