I finally got around to watching the movie "Wild" (2014) with Reese Witherspoon and I really enjoyed the gentle score music in the finale. It is not on the soundtrack (which is just a collection of rock & folk songs). And, I cannot even find out who wrote it. On the DVD, the same music is used for the menus. Anyone know who wrote the music? I went through the credits on IMDB but don't find an answer.

I didn't think the movie had any original score? Is the music an instrumental bit from one of the many songs in the soundtrack/character's memory?

I wondered the same thing, but I've sampled all the tracks and none of them sound close. The brief, score-like parts sound to me like a contemporary composition.

Susan Jacobs is listed as "Music Supervisor" on IMDB. I found an interview with her. But no direct contact. However you could try and email the writer of this article and inquire about contact info. Worth a try!

I've used some editing tools to extract clips from the symphonic music used in the film. I edited the final music sequence down to a mere 40 second in order to include some highlights. Because the clip is paired down to well under a minute and because I am posting this for educational purposes, this clip should be within fair use:

Anyway, I find it very puzzling that the credits include no mention of a composer at all.

It IS on the soundtrack, it's the beginning of the Simon & Garfunkel song El Condor Pasa... smile

I was drawn to that music as well when I saw the film, although I just ran Soundhound and identified the track straight off.

I suspect the film has no score at all - I didn't notice anything else.

For what it's worth, the version of El Condor Pasa prologue used in the film is not the same as the Simon & Garfunkel album version that's on the soundtrack. It's been updated/sweetened for the score-like snippets used throughout the movie. I assume those were done specifically for the movie.
