007 Soundtrack: Die Another Day (2002)
June 28, 2014COMPOSED BY: Madonna, Mirwais Ahmadzaï
Die Another Day is the soundtrack for the 20th James Bond film of the same name, and was released by Warner Bros. Records on November 12, 2002. The soundtrack was composed by David Arnold, his third outing as the composer for a James Bond movie. Frequent collaborator Nicholas Dodd orchestrated and conducted the score.
Arnold again made use of electronic rhythm elements in his score, and included two of the new themes he created for The World Is Not Enough. The first, originally used as Renard’s theme for the previous film, is heard during the mammoth Antonov cue on the recording, and is written for piano. The second new theme, most easily described as Bond’s romance theme, is heard here on the Going Down Together track. There is also a second romance theme in Die Another Day which was previously used on the The World Is Not Enough soundtrack titled Christmas in Turkey, and can be heard during the Moneypenny/Bond virtual reality sequence.
The title song for Die Another Day was written and sung by Madonna, who also had a small cameo in the movie as Verity, a fencing instructor.
