At World\'s End corrects both these issues. Additionally, this theme - along with the even more central Love Theme - brings the swashbuckling element to the score that even critics of the first two probably will enjoy.Ĭurse of the Black Pearl was heavily criticized by certain film score fans for two reasons: that is was mixed heavily with synth, and that it lacked the swashbuckling quality of other pirate films, such as Cutthroat Island. This is expressed with the Pirate Theme as one of the major thematic focal points of the score. So finally, we get to see a greater expanse of the pirate\'s world in At World\'s End. In Dead Man\'s Chest, I don\'t recall any actual piracy occurring, just chasing and being chased by Davy Jones. Curse of the Black Pearl featured an "undead" crew and the renegade Jack Sparrow, who didn\'t even have a ship. When one thinks about it, there really weren\'t many real pirates in the first two films. I call this the "Pirate Theme" because one of the main elements of At World\'s End is the addition of new pirate characters that unite against the East India Trading Company in the film.
This is, basically, the Pirate Theme and has multiple parts to it, which can be identified by following the progression of the song, beginning with the boy through the addition of the male chorus. The first theme I want to discuss is first introduced in the opening track in the form of the song "Hoist the Colours". Other themes, such as the Black Pearl Theme and Tia Dalma\'s Theme, appear once or twice on the album, but no more than expected as new, more important themes rise to the foreground. Due to its prominence in the first two films, this was a surprise. Foremost among these is the moving cello theme from the first film that was fully orchestrated for the final scene of Dead Man\'s Chest. Surprising are the few prominent themes from the first two films that were not included, at least on the soundtrack.
This leads to a level of thematic complexity that rivals most other franchises. More than having a large number of themes weaving in and out of the score, Zimmer wrote two new themes: the Love Theme, and the Pirate Theme (based around the song "Hoist the Colours"), both of which are very long and broken up into multiple segments. Readers can view SoundtrackNet\'s First Listen for what each track contains, so I will examine the score in two ways: how certain themes are used and developed through the score, and how this album ranks in the grand scheme of Hans Zimmer\'s past works.

For Pirates of the Caribbean: At World\'s End, Zimmer brings to bear the full arsenal of themes and musical ideas from the first two films to create a whirlpool of action-packed, heroic score in a level of thematic complexity that is astounding. The epic nature of this film franchise leads fans to wonder what the finale will bring. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man\'s Chest, with Hans Zimmer now officially at the reigns, did two things: rework elements of the first film\'s score into a more intricate, diverse, and complex score, this time with a full orchestra, and expand upon the Curse of the Black Pearl foundation with a number of new themes. The result of this was the creation of a hugely successful score and the foundation for better scores to follow. This gave the score a very direct structure with memorable theme after theme being thrown on screen without any subtlety. The original score was written quickly by numerous composers and was heavily mixed with synthesizers. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl unknowingly set the stage for an intricate franchise in terms of plots, characters, and musical themes.
