ParticipantSaw the movie, had a blast. Score is mixed very well for the most part, the score survives sound effects but succumbs to cheering from the citizens of Oz a fair few times. Elfman’s score plays out the movie too which was a relief, the crappy Mariah song doesn’t play until after Elfman’s end credit cue.
The main titles are a phenomenal mix of imagery and music, really fantastic stuff there.
ParticipantRaimi gets asked about falling out with Elfman at 14:25 in this interview. He says that he’s mostly to blame.
ParticipantIt’s early days yet, but I think I like this even more than Alice. Which would make it may favourite Elfman score in I don’t know how many years.

A chunk of the score is now on Youtube. ‘The Preparation Montage’ is all kinds of awesome.
ParticipantRaimi’s been gushing about Elfman non-stop. I just watched a press conference and Raimi starting praising him to no end on a completely unrelated topic. Maybe Elfman will score the horror movie he’s currently writing with his brother?
ParticipantNew interview.
Scoring sessions featured in this b-roll too.

ParticipantNR: Beyond the incredible visual effects, story, and performances, you have music. Danny Elfman’s score fuses so perfectly with the imagery you’ve created – what was it like working with him on this project?
SR: Well, working with Danny was one of my favorite parts of the picture, working with a great composer like Danny Elfman because you work with a team of artists, creating the world, the look of it, and the cinematographer and the actors on bringing emotion to it, but really it’s only once the music goes on does it all seem like a complete thing. The music takes emotions that are in the scene and elevates them to higher levels. You think it’s one of the guys telling the story—”Oh, this is great. It’s working better.” It’s so exciting to be a part of that process. So I think, on this one, working with the composer Danny Elfman was my favorite part.
ParticipantElfman won composer of the year.
ParticipantDifferent samples.

ParticipantNominated for Best Score at the Saturn Awards, Elfman’s first nomination since Charlie.
ParticipantMust not be for all countries then.
The score sounds exactly how all of you are expecting. The Wizard’s theme is cool and gets a big performance in the main titles, the theme for the Wicked Witch is nice if familiar for Elfman.

After the trailer they play a loop from Elfman’s score. It’s a lovely, quiet piece, that sounds kinda like the quieter stuff from Shore’s LOTR.

ParticipantIf the fact that no album has been announced for Oz yet makes you think that it might be coming from LLL it’s worth noting that there are some last minute pick-up sessions happening right now which might explain the delay.
ParticipantYes in Europe. Will be released on the 15th of April.
ParticipantSeems like the last movie Elfman would be interested in.

ParticipantGiven the Silver Linings showing, it’s safe to say he could have got in had there been more score.
On a happier note, Burton got another nomination for Frankenweenie!
