Hello fellas! I just recently got this score and I can totally agree with this review. Unfortunately there is no exciting main score or theme that gives you a feeling of hugeness like in Gladiator f.e. But all in all after a while you appreciate as well those vocals in some of the cues (terms is really great) My opinion 3 and a half stars....I want my Hans back..i think even John Debney would have been more epic in his OST for that Jesusmovie^^....k seeya

i was watching the trailer on apple.com and noticed a score that i couldnt find on the soundtrack and was wondering if anyone could help me identify it. I sounded almost to have guitars and a modern drum set.

Two important music scores are missing from the soundtrack. One operatic score like the one from Hannible and another femal vocal played during siege of Jerusalem. Is there any way of finding out who the artists in those songs are? I too which Hans Zimmer had been the composer

I also noticed the amazing Theatrical Trailer on Apple, and was curious about the guitar solo. If anyone finds out what it's called let me know

HEy...this is a copy of 13º Warrior Soundtrack... Listen to it, the 13º warrior soundtrack is much better... and more original than this fake...

Yes, I haven't heard the soundtrack separately but I just watched the movie and noticed two tracks previously used in other movies. First in the scene at the palm tree in which knights are attempting to assassinate Mr. Bloom the music played is from The Crow score. Second, the bombastic theme in the scene where Mr. Bloom beknights a lot of people in Jerusalem, is a shameless ripoff from the theme in 13th warrior.
I find that a bit embarrasing.

i love the music, even tho it might not be original. it has various artists in it. the song during King Baldwin's death is Vide Cor Meum [the last track on Hannibal OST] and the one at the end before the credits, i dont know where that song is. it is sung by a female vocal when balian is admiring the 'flowers'. any idea what that song's called?

I did some checking on IMDB and it turns out there's loads of reused music in this film. There's music taken from The 13th Warrior, BLADE II, CITY OF ANGELS, The Crow and others.

You can check it out here:

Maybe you can find those songs you're looking for.

Yes, but you do realise that IMDb soundtrack info is not what's on the CD release. I just got the CD and what they name there is not what's actually in the film, barring one or two such as the Ibelin theme. So whatever they may have used in the trailers is most certainly pre-used - that's very common in movie trailers. Lord of the Rings even did it in some of their trailers. But KoH the movie and it's sound track do have their own songs and themes. I rather think the copyright holders to these other themes/songs would scream if Mr. Gregson-Williams claimed their works as his own creations.

The song from the lepper king's funeral - is called Vide Cor Meum and it is on the Hannible Score by Hans Zimmer.
Also the Kingdom of Heaven score is awesome, it is so warming and beautiful. *****!!!
