Since the film is set in the 17th century,that did not have any musical references to construct the soundscape;the film's score was composed with a medieval touch with Drubich experimenting on the instrumentation and sounds providing an eerie and raw sound. Trumpp's contribution was only for the film's second half as that particular episode continues from Part One:1994.
Maisie Music Publishing and Milan Records distributed the soundtrack on July 16,2021,in conjunction with the film's release.
Development
Marco Beltrami returned to score music for Part Three:1666,after previously doing so for the predecessors. Anna Drubich and Marcus Trumpp joined as co-composers,the latter had also work with Beltrami on Part One:1994.[1]
Unlike the first two films,the score for Part Three:1666 did not have a particular influence of the sound from the 17th century. Hence,Drubich was tasked to produce an atonal,ritualistic type of sound that mostly had a medieval vibe.[2][3] She collected the samples of the sounds,with the help of donkey jawbones and shell shakers recorded in her one voice. Those collections and a nonet of instruments were recorded at the Abbey Road Studios in London,as she wanted to bring an eerie and raw sound,as an orchestral music would give a completely different sound.[4]
Drubich scored an intimate sound for a romantic sequence with the two characters. She then used the cello for the evil theme. The second half of the film was scored by Trumpp as it continued with Part One:1994;hence,she weaved in a comedy theme that transitions into a serious score at the end of the film. She was inspired by Midsommar and its soundtrack for developing the score,but however,she tried embracing the witchcraft theme of the episode.[4]
Release
The soundtrack to Part Three:1666 was released day-and-date with the film on July 16,2021,through Maisie Music Publishing and Milan Records.[5][6] The album,along with the scores of the predecessors,was published in triple LP by Waxwork Records which released it on November 12,2021.[7][8][9]
Reception
Jonathan Broxton in his review for Movie Music UK found Part Three:1666's score to be the weakest of the series,as "it contains by far the most challenging dissonance and intense horror writing,and is the least thematically dense" but also praised the composers' work,saying "the creativity behind the dissonance that Beltrami and Drubich show is certainly impressive,especially in the use of unusual percussion items."[10] Maxance Vincent of CGMagazine called it as "a wonderful score from Marco Beltrami and Anna Drubich".[11] Anthony McGlynn of The Digital Fix described it as a "hammed up score" and wrote "Sometimes cliches work,and the histrionic strings come in at just the right time for the final act."[12] Michael Nordine of Variety and Lovia Gyarkye of The Hollywood Reporter found it to be "impressive" and "effective".[13][14] Nicolás Delgadillo of DiscussingFilm found it to be a "stirring score".[15]
