The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the soundtrack to the film of the same name. David Arnold composed the soundtrack, which was released on December 7, 2010. The soundtrack received a nomination for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for "There's a Place for Us" at the 68th Golden Globe Awards.
It was announced on October 9, 2007 that award-winning composer David Arnold would score the film with the themes composed by Harry Gregson-Williams (who scored The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and Prince Caspian). It was Arnold's fourth collaboration with Apted after The World Is Not Enough, Enough and Amazing Grace. The second trailer for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader uses identical music to the trailer for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
As the previous films were distributed by Disney, the soundtracks for those films were released by Walt Disney Records. However, this film was distributed by Twentieth-Century Fox, and the soundtrack was released by Sony Music.
Arnold worked with an 87-piece Orchestra and a 40-piece choir to record the score for the film. He also worked with Paul Apted (Michael Apted's son) in editing the score, remarking that it was "going to be epic.". Arnold chose not to collaborate with Lisbeth Scott, whose vocals are used to the first two films. He created specific themes for The Dawn Treader and Reepicheep. In order for the film to be consistent with the franchise, he chose to use the previous themes by Gregson-Williams for the opening and closing scenes, as well as for scenes featuring some recurring characters, such as Aslan.
