There Will Be Blood is a film score composed by Jonny Greenwood for the 2007 film of the same name, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. The score was premiered on December 26, 2007, and was released on January 8, 2008, by Nonesuch Records. The score is divided into 18 tracks, with a total runtime of 53 minutes. The first track, "Open Spaces," sets the tone for the score with its haunting, dissonant strings and eerie percussion. The second track, "Future Markets," introduces a driving, rhythmic motif that recurs throughout the score. Other notable tracks include "Proven Lands," which features a beautiful, melancholic melody played on solo violin, and "Oil," which builds to a frenzied climax with its pounding drums and screeching strings. Greenwood's score for There Will Be Blood is characterized by its use of unconventional instrumentation and dissonant harmonies. In addition to traditional orchestral instruments, the score features a number of unusual instruments, including a glass harmonica, a dulcimer, and a rare electronic instrument called the ondes Martenot. The score also makes use of extended techniques, such as bowing the strings of a piano and playing percussion instruments with unconventional objects. Overall, Greenwood's score for There Will Be Blood is a masterful work of film music that perfectly captures the dark, brooding atmosphere of the film. Its unconventional instrumentation and dissonant harmonies make it a unique and memorable addition to the canon of film scores.
