Based on a popular series of children's fantasy novels, THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES benefits from an orchestral score by veteran film composer James Horner (TITANIC, TROY). On tracks such as "Writing the Chronicles" and "Thimbletack and the Goblins," Horner effectively uses strings, horns, and woodwinds to capture the wonder of discovering a magical world, often recalling John Williams's work on the initial HARRY POTTER movies.
