Read a review that called the music "an intriguing blend of regional and atmospheric flavors." It also mentioned the music doesn't exactly propel the story forward - which may or may not be a bad thing imo. Droning? Sound Design? Hope not...

It's a blend between all that. Like a I Am Legend/Shyamalan vibe, which I was expecting. Most of the cues are orchestral, with country influence in some bits (guitar, cello, violin), and great choral moments for the Capitol, which I was hoping to hear (to represent the sense of awe). Though from the 80 minutes of music made for the movie, almost 60 sounds on it (the CD only has 43). There's a theme played in Rue's Farewell and Teneous Winners/Returning Home (and in another scene of the movie which music it's not on the CD). And the score has a great mix on the movie, it's not buried under the sound effects and dialogue, you can hear it pretty well. And there's some moments with only music. JNH uses Horn Of Plenty very well, especially with a amazing choral version. The only 100% minimalistic music is some of the source music but they aren't fully played on the movie. All of the songs from the "Songs from District 12" are not on the movie. Just Safe And Sound, Abraham's Daughter and another one on the end credits. Being honest, I can't wait to hear the score CD.

Thank you for the review. Going tonight with my sister. I'm really looking forward to the score.

Just saw the movie and the Parade of the contestants is pretty damn spectacular! I only hope it is on the CD, can anyone confirm that? What a brilliant and truly epic jawdropping cue. It's on the CD. It's Arcade Fire's Horn Of Plenty. JNH uses it through the score as a theme for the Capitol. That one, Deep In The Meadow, and Katniss's theme (the one played on Rue's Farewell, the berry scene, and Teneous Winners/Returning Home) are the only themes of the movie. I really want to hear the score on CD (and a leak of the recording sessions with the 20 minutes of unused music), because it's difficult to say which is the score, and which is the source music, but like JNH said, he focused on the emotions of Katniss, and that's when you knew which is his music, and thank God, he didn't went for the Green Lantern route. I think that the sequels are going to bring a lot more room for thematic material since that there's new characters and a change of tone in the story.
