The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is the score album composed and produced by James Newton Howard for the 2018 film of the same name. The film marked Howard's second score for a live-action Disney film after Maleficent. Howard, about the film score, described it as "The score is very traditional – a big orchestra score – with lots of woodwinds and strings, plus tinkle bells and celeste and chorale music". Gustavo Dudamel conducted the London Philharmonia Orchestra for the film score, that was recorded at the Abbey Road Studios, London. Howard adapted excerpts from Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker, besides composing original music. The adaptation of Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker Suite" is performed by piano soloist Lang Lang. In addition to the score, an original song "Fall on Me" sung by Andrea Bocelli and his son Matteo Bocelli was premiered on Dancing with the Stars' "Disney Night" on October 22, 2018. The album was released on October 26, 2018, by Walt Disney Records.
