Шаблон:Use mdy datesШаблон:Infobox album Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the film score to the 2023 film of the same name, composed by John Williams and conducted by Williams and William Ross. Recorded during June 2022 and February 2023, at the Sony Scoring Stage, and performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony, the score was released by Walt Disney Records digitally on June 29, 2023 and is set for a physical release on August 9. "Helena's Theme" for violin and orchestra performed by Anne-Sophie Mutter preceded as the single on June 22.

Background

Шаблон:Multiple image In June 2016, Steven Spielberg confirmed that John Williams, who scored for the previous films in the Indiana Jones franchise, would return to compose the music for the fifth film. The scoring began on June 28, 2022. The same month, Williams stated that it would be his final film score, following plans for a retirement, though he later backtracked on this decision. In an interview to The New York Times, director James Mangold, who collaborated with Williams for the first time in his career, recalled that he did not see Williams as "simply a genius of themes and tunes." Rather, the "moment-to-moment score" astounded him.

Mangold had written the basic sketches for the film, in conjunction with the themes he had written for the film. He insisted Williams score the first reel in the edit as for a 1970s film, which he obliged as "the flow of the movie was falling off this cliff into Indy’s current reality. And then he begins to gather himself, steel himself, and heads onto the road. By the time he and Phoebe [Waller-Bridge] are in full mode racing around Morocco with Mads Mikkelsen, the music found itself back and by the time they get out at sea, in Greece, it’s full-on an Indiana Jones movie with an old Indy."

Williams wrote over an hour and a half of music for the film consisting older themes from the previous installments reworked along with the newer themes composed for the film; themes were composed surrounding the individual characters, which includes a theme for the character Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge), simply titled as "Helena's Theme". The theme also had a second version for violin and orchestra with German violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter performing with the San Francisco Symphony. On February 10, 2023, Williams confirmed that the score for Dial of Destiny has been completed.

Live performances

At Mangold's request, Williams premiered "Helena's Theme" at the Hollywood Bowl on September 2, 2022. Шаблон:Blockquote On June 14, 2023, coinciding with the film's premiere in Dolby Theatre, Williams conducted an orchestral performance of the film's score.

Marketing and release

A two-minute featurette debuted through social media platforms on June 20, 2023 to promote the film. On June 22, 2023, "Helena's Theme" for violin concerto was released as a single. The soundtrack was released digitally by Walt Disney Records on June 29, which would be followed by a CD and vinyl LP release exclusively through Disney Music Emporium on August 9, 2023. On July 19, 2023, Disney Music Emporium announced that the CD, whose listing had been taken down from their online store some time before, was in fact a limited edition, and had sold out while still in pre-orders, before its release date.

Reception

Williams' score was well received, with critics calling it "fabulous", "memorable" and "joyful". Patrick Gibbs of Slug Magazine wrote, "While John Williams’ score is even more of a cut and paste of previous works than his recent Star Wars soundtracks, it still elicits excitement merely by evoking the old themes." Rachel Labonte of Screen Rant complimented Williams' score as "sweeping and epic as one would expect, eliciting chills from the first moment his iconic theme is heard". Adam Nayman of The Ringer wrote "no matter how loud the soundtrack gets, there’s less at stake. Even the brief burst of John Williams’s triumphal theme at a key moment feels ersatz: an echo of glory days that Mangold and his army of skilled, detail-oriented craftspeople can only chase." Tim Grierson of Screen International called it "a score that reprises memorable themes".

In December 2023, the score was shortlisted for Best Original Score at the 96th Academy Awards.

At the 2024 Grammy Awards, Helena's Theme won the Grammy for Best Instrumental Composition.
