Listen to an Exclusive 90-Second Preview of Steve Jablonsky’s ‘Ender’s Game’ Score

Written by

Composer Steve Jablonsky, EnderWiggin.net Exclusives, Soundtrack/Score

With Ender’s Game just over 28 days from release, the anticipation is building for longtime fans of the novel worldwide. The movie’s score, which was composed by Steve Jablonsky (Transformers), will be released on October 22, 2013 and contains a total of 21 tracks.

The nice folks over at Varese Sarabande sent over the score for me to listen to and I’ll admit, despite my claims to resist, I listened to it all night. I’ve managed to resist listening to the finale tracks so far, hopefully I can keep that up until I see the movie.

To give you a taste, I’ve been allowed to pick 90 seconds of music to preview from two tracks. The first 45 seconds comes from “Battle Room” and the latter 45 seconds is from “Dragons Win”. Be sure to listen to it and let us know what you think!

Full track list:

Don’t forget to pre-order the soundtrack.

UPDATE: Catch another preview over at Ender News.

I play violin so after the movie comes out, I’m definitely gonna be lookin’ at this score!! At first Battle Room seemed to not fit, but I thought more about it and I really like it!

Surprised a track wasn’t titled “The Enemy’s Gate is Down.” If that
phrase doesn’t make it into the film, I will be boycotting it, lol.

“Battle Room”: very game-of-thrones-ish but I personally LOVE it! I think it fits the movie’s version of the battle room wonderfully – you can practically feel yourself floating weightless inside this vast, beautiful space, lights and shadows and the deep blue of planet Earth constantly shifting around you. This isn’t a theme that focuses on the BATTLE part of the Battle Room; this a theme focusing on the room itself. This is a theme to make you go “wow, this place is INCREDIBLE”. I almost think of it as the Ender equivalent of Lucy exploring Narnia for the first time. (Yeah, bad analogy, but as serious as battle school is, I think there’s still an almost magical sense of awe and childlike wonder when you jump into zero-g for the first time.) =)

“Dragons Win”: now THIS is a battle theme! Epic, exciting, fast and intense…almost makes me feel like I’m in one of the opposing armies and feeling the dread of inevitable defeat. Because NOBODY beats Dragon. Ever. This is a track that says “DON’T MESS WITH DRAGON ARMY. THEY WILL SERIOUSLY WRECK YOUR SH*T”. =P Both these tracks are so awesome; I CANNOT WAIT to get my hands on this soundtrack!!

[…] we finally get to see the images that go with some of the score we posted about a couple of days ago. This explains why the “Battle Room” track is so light-hearted. Look how happy Ender […]
