Singles from Dune: Part Two (soundtrack)

Dune: Part Two (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album composed by Hans Zimmer for the 2024 film Dune: Part Two by Denis Villeneuve. It was released by WaterTower Music on February 23, 2024, one week before the film's theatrical release in the United States.

Background

Composer Hans Zimmer had previously scored director Denis Villeneuve's 2021 film Dune, for which he received the Academy Award for Best Original Score in 2022.[1][2] He had been a fan of the novel in his teenage years, and chose to score the first film over Christopher Nolan's Tenet.[3][4]

Production

After scoring the first film, Zimmer continued writing music in anticipation for its sequel.[5][6]

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

I never left the world of Dune. In fact, I think Denis [Villeneuve] thought I was quite mad, because I kept writing after we finished the first movie. But because I knew the story, I knew the book, I knew what was coming our way. And in fact, a lot of the main themes in this second movie were written at the end of the first film, before Denis started shooting. It felt important to carry on writing when we were still in the same spirit, the same frame of mind.

— Hans Zimmer[7]

Release

Ahead of the soundtrack's release, WaterTower Music released two singles on February 15, 2024: "A Time of Quiet Between the Storms" and "Harvester Attack".[7]

Critical reception

Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com wrote, "Hans Zimmer's Oscar-winning score felt a bit overdone to me in the first film, but he smartly differentiates the cultures here, finding more metallic sounds for the cold Harkonnens to balance against the heated score for the Fremen."[8]
