The Nightmare Before Christmas (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Description

Tim Burton’sThe Nightmare Before Christmassoundtrack features 10 ghoulishly delightful songs and score by renowned composer/songwriterDanny Elfman, lead singer of the popular rock group Oingo Boingo. Embracing the traditional musical structure of 10 songs and underscore, Elfman creates a musical landscape in which the story narrative is wholly integrated into each musical number. Allowing the film’s fantastic characters to come convincingly to life, the songs set into “stop-motion” the fanciful tale of Jack Skellington with haunting melodies, vivid imagery, and spectacular wordplay. Supported by an evocative and suspenseful underscore,The Nightmare Before Christmassoundtrack is a dazzling marriage of music and innovative technique.
