Martin Phipps - The Crown: Season Three (Soundtrack from the Netflix Original Series) '2019

Tracks list

From Beethoven to Bowie, the soundtrack to the third season of The Crown has
been full of musical surprises.

As the third season of Netflix’s The Crown graces our screens, we turn
our attention to the music in the royal drama.

Aside from Hans Zimmer’s majestic opening theme, the new season also
treats us to some piano music by Beethoven and Chopin – as well as some
Welsh folk songs, and music by David Bowie and Frank Sinatra.

Who wrote the theme for The Crown?
German film composer Hans Zimmer (Gladiator, The Lion King) wrote the main theme
for The Crown.

His music – which is unexpectedly epic for what you might expect to be a
pretty chilled period drama – accompanies the opening titles.
The majestic theme, characterised by a great organ and tremolo strings, seems to
speak royalty and the weight of bearing the crown.
Who wrote the soundtrack?
The score was written by British composer Martin Phipps, who has previously
written soundtracks for Victoria, War & Peace and Black Earth Rising.

What’s the music in the season 3 trailer?
As Netflix introduces us to a new Elizabeth (Olivia Colman), we hear a stripped
back, slightly chilling cover of Bob Dylan’s ‘The Times They Are
A-Changin’ by musician Fort Nowhere.
