How To Train Your Dragon 3: The Hidden World

John Powell completes the trilogy in tremendous fashion, writing no less than seven themes themes and various motifs. With each successive film, Powell figures out new ways to express himself while still telling a cohesive story. The leap from the 2nd film to the 3rd in terms of music reveals a stark difference, having honed his choral and orchestral skills writing his Prussian Requiem and working with John Williams on Solo in the interim. All in all, the dragon trilogy frames a decade of film music and now fans of the franchise can see how the music has evolved in this ten year period as the composer’s style matured.
