The first film balances tense action scoring and horror elements with a sense of wonderment and awe, but the sequel is mostly devoid of the latter. The score to The Lost World takes on a very different tone from that of Jurassic Park. The film opens with this motif, and it frequently returns to convey Isla Sorna's dark, mysterious nature and the dinosaurs that inhabit it. Less memorable but much more frequently heard is the film's second new theme, a haunting four-note melody. But statements of this theme were tracked into several additional scenes so that it is heard more often than originally intended, and the version heard in the end credits (simply entitled "The Lost World") has been adapted and published for concert performances. Williams intended to use this theme only four times in the film: for the arrival on the island, for the departure from the island, in the film's final moments, and in the end credits.
This theme is darker and less overtly heroic than the "island fanfare", but its role is similar in that it mainly underscores the expedition's adventurous nature.
The first is a rousing melody typically given to the horns, trombones, and strings over a churning accompaniment provided by low woodwinds and percussion. However, Williams did write two new primary themes for this score. Quiet strains of "Theme from Jurassic Park" and the so-called "island fanfare" (Journey to the Island) are occasionally heard, with one scene even including a more robust statement copied note-for-note from the Jurassic Park cue "Jurassic Park Gate." But the original "Theme from Jurassic Park" and "Journey to the Island" are not heard until the film's final scene and end credits. The two primary themes written for Jurassic Park are quoted only a few times in Lost World.įor this score, Williams largely avoided using the three major themes he had written for Jurassic Park. In the series, Jurassic Park, but instead developed a wildly different style and a new set of motifs for the different location, cast, and darker tone of the second Jurassic Park film. Unlike most sequel scores written by John Williams, the composer did not reprise much musical material from the original film The Lost World: Jurassic Park (Original Motion Picture Score) is the film score to the 1997 film of the same name composed and conducted by John Williams, and orchestrated by Conrad Pope and John Neufeld.
