Crimson Tide is a soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer for the 1995 American submarine thriller film of the same name, directed by Tony Scott and starring Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman. The film was released on May 12, 1995, and the soundtrack was released on August 1, 1995, by Hollywood Records. The soundtrack consists of 12 tracks, with a total runtime of 47 minutes and 22 seconds. The tracks are titled "Crimson Tide," "Eternal Father, Strong to Save," "It's a Long Way to Tipperary," "Roll Tide," "Hymn to the Sea," "1SQ," "Alabama," "Mutiny," "Pep Talk," "Bad News," "Viggo's Theme," and "Lone Sailor." The main theme of the soundtrack, "Crimson Tide," is a powerful and intense orchestral piece that sets the tone for the film. It features a driving rhythm section, soaring strings, and brass fanfares that create a sense of urgency and tension. The track "Eternal Father, Strong to Save" is a traditional hymn that is often played at military funerals and is used in the film to underscore the gravity of the situation. The soundtrack also features several other notable tracks, including "Roll Tide," which is the fight song for the University of Alabama and is used in the film to represent the crew's pride in their ship. "Hymn to the Sea" is a hauntingly beautiful piece that is used during a pivotal scene in the film, and "Mutiny" is a tense and dramatic track that underscores the conflict between the two main characters. Overall, the Crimson Tide soundtrack is a masterful work of film music that perfectly captures the mood and tone of the film. Zimmer's use of orchestral and choral elements, as well as traditional military music, creates a sense of authenticity and realism that enhances the viewing experience. The soundtrack is a must-listen for fans of film music and is a testament to Zimmer's talent as a composer.
