Independence Day

The Grammy Award-winning score for the film was composed by David Arnold and recorded with an orchestra of 90, a choir of 46 and "and every last ounce of stereotypical Americana he could muster for the occasion". The film's producer Dean Devlin commented that "you can leave it up to a Brit to write some of the most rousing and patriotic music in the history of American cinema." The soundtrack has received two official CD releases, RCA released a 50-minute album at the time of the film's release, then in 2010, La-La Land Records released a limited edition 2-CD set that comprised the complete score plus 12 alternate cues. The premiere of Independence Day live will take place in September 2016 with the film's score performed live to a screening of the film at the Royal Albert Hall. This celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the film's release and the event will also feature a pre-film talk from David Arnold.
