The soundtrack was released on July 6, 2004, by Hollywood Records. The soundtrack features 14 tracks and has a runtime of 57 minutes. The first track, "Woad to Ruin," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its intense and dramatic orchestration. The second track, "Do You Think I'm Saxon?" is a more subdued piece that features a haunting female vocal. The third track, "Hold the Ice," is a fast-paced and energetic piece that features a driving percussion section. The fourth track, "All of Them!" is a more contemplative piece that features a solo violin and a choir. The fifth track, "Budget Meeting," is a playful and lighthearted piece that features a jaunty melody played on a mandolin. The sixth track, "Another Brick in Hadrian's Wall," is a more somber piece that features a solo cello. The seventh track, "Fireball," is a fast-paced and intense piece that features a driving percussion section and a choir. The eighth track, "Piano Theme," is a more introspective piece that features a solo piano. The ninth track, "Merlin," is a mystical and otherworldly piece that features a solo female vocal and a choir. The tenth track, "The Problems of the Future Today," is a more upbeat and optimistic piece that features a driving percussion section. The eleventh track, "Arthur's Bedtime," is a more subdued piece that features a solo piano and a choir. The twelfth track, "Knight's March," is a triumphant and heroic piece that features a brass section and a choir. The thirteenth track, "Tell Me Now (What You See)," is a haunting and ethereal piece that features a solo female vocal. The final track, "The Battle," is a fast-paced and intense piece that features a driving percussion section and a choir. Overall, the King Arthur soundtrack is a powerful and evocative work that perfectly captures the spirit of the film. Zimmer's use of orchestration, percussion, and choir creates a sense of grandeur and epicness that perfectly complements the film's action-packed scenes. The soundtrack is a must-listen for fans of Zimmer's work and for anyone who enjoys epic film scores.
