After creating my in-depth Score Breakdown video a few months ago, I really wanted to take on one of these iconic cues, especially one that didn’t make it to the Album. So here is my transcription and reorchestration by ear of the cue ‘Three Way Sword-fight’ from Dead Man’s Chest composed by Tom Gire and Hans Zimmer! This cue in particular uses thematic ideas established in the first film (like ‘The Black Pearl’ and ‘The Medallion Calls’) that often get looked past in modern arrangements. Even the ‘B Theme’ of the main title is used frequently here. Here are all the themes played in this one cue: The Black Pearl (1) Medallion Calls (1) Davy Jones Crew Motif (2) The Kraken (2) Will and Elizabeth (1) He’s A Pirate (1) Jack Sparrow (2) Libraries Used: Spitfire Audio: BBCSO, Chamber Strings, Albion One, Hans Zimmer Percussion, Orchestral Grand Piano Aaron Venture: Infinite Brass, Infinite WoodWinds Cinematic Studio Strings Cinesamples: CineBrass Serum Kontakt Factory Live Guitars - Jack McKenzie *DISCLAIMER* THE RIGHTS TO ALL MUSIC AND RELATIVE IMAGES IN THIS VIDEO REMAIN WITH THE ORIGINAL PUBLISHER AND COPYRIGHT HOLDER.
