Quantum of Solace: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack album for the James Bond film of the same name. Released on 17 October 2008. The album contains the score composed by David Arnold. It is Arnold's fifth soundtrack for the James Bond franchise. His frequent collaborator Nicholas Dodd orchestrated and conducted the score.

Development

David Arnold, who composed the scores for the previous four Bond films, said that Quantum of Solace director Marc Forster likes to work very closely with his composers and that, in comparison to the accelerated schedule he was tied to on Casino Royale, the intention was to spend a long time scoring the film to "really work it out". He also said he would be "taking a different approach" with the score.[1] Arnold composed the music based on impressions from reading the script, and Forster edited those into the film.[2]

Jack White of The White Stripes and Alicia Keys would collaborate on "Another Way to Die", which is the first duet in Bond music history, on 29 July 2008.[5][6] They had wanted to work together for two years beforehand.[7] The song was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee; White played the drums while Keys performed on the piano.[8] The Memphis Horns also contributed to the track.[7] White's favourite Bond theme is John Barry's instrumental piece for On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and he watched various opening credit sequences from the series for inspiration while mixing the track.[8]

The soundtrack was released by

Puccini's opera Tosca forms the backdrop to a key sequence. "Vesper" from Arnold's Casino Royale soundtrack
reappears at key moments in the film; it may be heard on the album in tracks 12, 15, 18 and 23.
