Sony Music will release the official soundtrack album for George Clooney’s historical drama The Monuments Men. The soundtrack features the film’s original score composed by Alexandre Desplat (The King’s Speech, Argo, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) who previously composed the music for Clooney’s The Ides of March. The soundtrack will be released on February 4, 2014 and is now available for pre-order on Amazon. The Monuments Men stars George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban, Hugh Bonneville and John Goodman. Desplat also makes an appearance in the film, which follows an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners.

The musical theme throughout the movie sounded like a variation of “She’ll be coming around the mountain when she comes”, at least to me in a lot of sections.
