Composition
Giacchino started recording for the film's score on November 16,2015. [9] [10] He called the film as "one of those films with a huge heart and wonderfully realized characters set within a story that’s not only incredibly fun and entertaining but takes an honest look at our own world and the important issues we deal with living in such a diverse society. That’s what really attracted me to the film,the chance to write music that reflects these kind of challenges." While adding that the score had "flavors of world music sprinkled everywhere",it always follow the emotional story of Hopps and Nick. [11] With executive music producer Chris Montan and music supervisor Tom McDougall,the recording sessions began with an 80-piece orchestra conducted by Tim Simonec and was completed within 4 days. [12]
The score consisted entirely of percussion instruments,such as onglong,gamelan,African drums,South American drums,bells and special instruments imported from Indonesia. All these were arranged and played by prominent percussionist Emil Richards,known for his collaborations with Jerry Goldsmith on the Planet of the Apes score. Emil offered Giacchino,a mixing bowl and a ram horns,which he blended and used in the score,calling it as a "perfect combination of sounds and weirdness that we can throw in there". [13] Giacchino further created an 8-minute suite,driven through piano,making it devoid from the comedic elements and focuses in a more emotional way. [14]
