film of the same name composed by Benjamin Wallfisch. It was released

was announced as the composer for Shazam. The film marks the third
collaboration between Wallfisch and director David F. Sandberg having
scored his debut film Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation. For the
score of Shazam, Sandberg and Wallfisch leaned into the territory of
old-school fun adventure movies, taking inspiration from the scores of
the 1970s and 1980s, specifically that of Superman by John Williams
and Back to the Future by Alan Silvestri. Sandberg noted "that many
modern scores have moved away from such traditional music" and as such
made the score a fitting homage to the Golden Age of
Hollywood.Wallfisch noted that the film's story had that "kind of
tenderness at the heart of the story" and a sense of "optimism for the
future". From there, he crafted several themes â€" Sivana's theme, the
Wizard theme, the music for the Seven Deadly Sins, the family theme
and Shazam's themes which comprises a Hero theme and a Transformation
theme and worked around creating a melodic soundscape, balancing
between the comedy and adventure aspects. For the film's villain, Dr.
Sivana. Wallfisch opted for a minimalist approach utilising only low
male choir, extended bass woodwinds and brass.The score was recorded
at AIR Lyndhurst Studios in Hampstead, London with a 140-piece Chamber
Orchestra of London and was conducted by Wallfisch and Chris Egan. Shazam! (soundtrack) Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
