Score Now Available!


The Hunger Games Original Motion Picture Score is now available for purchase in stores and online. The score is composed by James Newton Howard and produced by T Bone Burnett. The album has 18 tracks and a bonus song that was not in the film.

"I’ve been wanting to work with James for years—ever since I met him on a film I wrote,
DAVE. In the ensuing years, I was literally envious of other directors when I would hear
one of James’ brilliant scores. I couldn’t be more thrilled with his music for THE HUNGER
GAMES. Like all great scores, it sneaks up on you. I loved it when I heard it but then as I
began to mix the film I saw the subtle nuances of what James was doing: “Oh, I see how he
helped that moment… Wow, that is so subtle how he takes the cue to a darker place right
there… Gosh, that line never played that well before.” I think you experience great movie
music with your eyes—it makes the film better. And I owe James a huge debt of gratitude
for doing just that.
T Bone’s ability to capture the unique tone of this movie was indispensable in THE HUNGER
GAMES. From the Capitol Anthem by Arcade Fire, to his own haunting melody for
Katniss’ Lullaby, to his and Arcade Fire’s amazing end title song Abraham’s Daughter, T
Bone has elevated our film in ways that are hard to explain. I am grateful for his contribution
and his remarkable talents."
