Can anyone identify the Classical influences in this score, especially from the choral parts prominent in The Hidden World cue?
Powell has mentioned he’s influenced by Vaughan Williams and Debussy. While Hidden World choral material seems very Ravelian in its scoring, harmonically it does draw from English composers.

In case anybody is curious this came in a jewel case and not a digipack.
Thanks, but what country? Seems US gets the digipacks and Europe and Asia gets jewel cases when there is an option.
United States
Thanks, I was just going to ask before I order.

Exactly! That's why it's my kind of score. I just can't stop praising Powell.

Am I the only one getting a bit of an Elmer Bernstein vibe from this score?

I WANT to say that Third Date is better than Forbidden Friendship.
I'm sure that will turn out to be wrong. But it's terrific to have something in the running.

It's funny because I remember reviews of HTTYD2 saying "well, it's great but doesn't have 'This is Berk', 'Forbidden Friendship' or 'Test Drive'". In the end, I thought it had "Flying with Mother", "Toothless found" and pretty much all the central part of the album. Now it's , "well it's great but it doesn't have a 'Test drive' or a 'Flying with mother'".
Well, for my money, "Third Date" is six minutes of pure joy, the kind of music you listen at insane loud volume or just without doing anything else, "Furies in love" is the scorgasmic stuff you mock conduct eye closed, a huge smile on your face.
There is really gorgeous new thematic material, you know you find those when you hear them, and at what point they are above the competition - Powell is definitely the guy that writes the best melodies out there and is younger than John Williams. I love the classically oriented sound that made the second opus so great. Also the art Powell has to make variations on his themes - the harp and chorus at the start of "Once were Dragons" is really a great touch on the new theme.

It is a highlight from the the third film indeed. Surprised it didn't find itself in the suite, which other wise covers all the other highlights for me.
I wouldn't compare any of it with the first score though. They couldn't be more different, whether in their tone, approach, and concept. But if I were to pick a favorite, I'd go for Forbidden Friendship, for its sense of magic and wonder - something I found entirely missing from the third score.
One of the greatest scores ever written.
Asking sequels to equal it is a tough task (although 2 came pretty close!)

I thought 2 and 3 both hit that "Empire Strikes Back" sweet spot of hitting the old stuff and having GLORIOUS new stuff.

Just got HTTYD 3. Very good, but not up to the previous score, so far.

This score has left me nearly speechless and in tears.
Each repeated listen opens up so much more to be heard.
So many of the previous themes, and so many new and wonderful themes.
This is an absolute treasure trove.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
I'm finding the film a little forgettable. But then I go back and listen to Third Date and all is right again.

The last 15 minutes are quite good.
