Pirates Of The Caribbean IV - On Stranger Tides Movie Suite

Pirates of the Caribbean IV - On Stranger Tides

Music by Hans Zimmer

With a nod to the previous versions, this movie suite from the latest Pirates of the Caribbean brings us back to the powerful themes and repetitious action cues that we've learned to expect from Mr. Zimmer.  At this point in his career, the composer still uses synthesizers while adding a complete orchestra as well as a choir of voices to give us a sonic experience unlike most other composers. With many thematic cues written by Rodrigo y Gabriela, there is a distinctively Spanish feel to this music, with the use of Spanish guitars and yet we have elected to keep his participation in the movie suite to a minimum.  With a timing of just 17:54, this fits in nicely with the previous Pirates' movie suites. Until Pirates of the Caribbean number five is released, I hope you enjoy.  -MJ

The Curse of the Black Pearl Movie Suite - Pirates of the Caribbean

Pirates of the Caribbean I Suite

Music by Klaus Badelt

Here's another trilogy of excellent movie music.  The swashbuckling exploits of Jack the Pirate come to us in this hard driving movie suite that is filled with side splitting riffs as well as some tender moments of mishandled love.  Mr. Badelt did himself proud with this music and we're glad he did, since the main theme not only helps carry the movie, but it is inspiring as well as memorable.  Although the main theme doesn't appear until almost 9:00 minutes in, it is obviously composed of bits of what you've been hearing already and will continue to hear as this roars to its eventual end.  Great work Klaus, we applaud you.  With a timing of 19:11 don't forget that this is just the first movie suite of the trilogy. Enjoy it!  -MJ

Dead Man's Chest Movie Suite - Pirates of the Caribbean

Pirates of the Caribbean II Suite

Music by Hans Zimmer

From the beginning notes of the lone fiddle (violin?) building into the full orchestra along with the help of an amped-up electric guitar and chorus of raised voices, there is no doubt that Mr. Zimmer has taken the reins of this sequel and filled it with his own private relishes.  Although this sounds similar to the first music suite, it shares little with it.  Bombastic throughout the entirety, we race along until suddenly it abruptly stops. Whoa there, what happened?  Where did the music suite go?  I guess they want you to listen to the last music suite for the ending.  Hopefully we'll have that for your enjoyment very soon.  With a timing of 20:52 this is not the most thematic compositionally by this composer, but it's alot of fun.  I hope you enjoy.  -MJ

At World's End Movie Suite - Pirates of the Caribbean

Pirates of the Caribbean III Suite

Music by Hans Zimmer

Thundering headlong into our senses, this is the final of the POTC trilogy, a fine music suite that Mr. Zimmer has dropped on us like a bomb with mega-tons of percussion to propell us along until we too must await our fate at the ends of the earth.  Sharing little with its predecessor, this movie suite is relentlessly pushing ahead, constantly striving to beat the anticipated goal. Of course it can and will be debated, but this is a fitting final to this trilogy; that is until the next episode is released and we have another movie suite to experience.  With a timing of 28:36 you'll want to make time for this one!  Sure hope you enjoy!  -MJ
