The score was exceptionally well-received, earning universal praise from professional film score critics and fans alike. Powell earned a BAFTA nomination for his work as well as his first Oscar nomination, losing both nominations to Alexandre Desplat for his score for The King's Speech [11] and to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for their score for The Social Network, respectively. [12] The music also won an Annie Award for the Best Music in a Feature Production from the International Animated Film Association, ASIFA-Hollywood. [13]

Product Details

I was certainly trying to get a bit more epic. I just felt the animation and the visuals were giving me a broader palette to play with. As a kid I remember watching The Vikings with Tony Curtis and Kirk Douglas, and I always liked that score.

The instrumentation of the score includes 3 flutes, 3 oboes, 3 clarinets, 3 bassoons, 12 French horns, 4 trumpets, 6 trombones, tuba, timpani, 8 percussionists, 2 harps, piano doubling celeste, SATB choir, and a string section of 30 violins, 12 violas, 10 cellos and 8 double basses. Woodwind players also double on piccolo, english horn, bass and contrabass clarinets, and contrabassoon. [7] Other instruments used include the sopilka and Irish flute, hammered dulcimer, gadulka, esraj, yaylı tambur, hurdy-gurdy, accordion, harmonium, Hardanger fiddle, acoustic and electric guitar, and the aforementioned fiddle, bagpipes, uilleann pipes, warpipes and pennywhistle. [7]

Sibelius was the key. I studied a lot of Sibelius as a kid, and I've always adored his music. So that, plus it was great to have Jónsi do a song at the end of the movie, because I've always liked Sigur Rós. They were an influence as well, even though that seems paradoxical. But there is that in a few cues—heavy, dark guitar textures going on at the same time as large orchestration. Powell states that he "presents almost all his themes within the first five minutes of the film". [3] "Hiccup's Theme" is introduced immediately in the film version of "This is Berk", played by brass; this theme is often accompanied by an eighth note ostinato (Toothless' Theme), for example shortly into "Test Drive". [8] "The Vikings Theme" is introduced shortly thereafter, played by a solo bassoon, after which a second interpretation of Hiccup's theme is played by wind instruments. [9]
