Theme of the Week #15 - Ender’s Game (Main Theme)

Track Title: Ender’s Game Main Theme Movie: Ender’s Game Composer(s): Steve Jablonsky Theme of the Week: November 5, 2013 Steve Jablonsky, best known for his “Transformers“ scores, kept his larger-than-life sound for “Ender’s Game“, but also took the time to develop a stronger tie with string solos for the film. He claimed that “Ender’s Game“ is, “big but also very personal.“ Because of this he would use an 80 piece orchestra and 32 member choir for some scenes, while in other scenes he would use a simple solo instrument. The main theme exemplifies both approaches, often carrying the motif with strings, but rounding out with a much bigger sound.
