orchestrators and experimented with the recording of instruments in unusual circumstances such as physically and electronically altering the traditional sound of a piano while continuing to include a heavy vocal orchestra in his tracks.[5]Scream 3: The Score is the original score album released by Varèse Sarabande
Apart from the metal genre songs, Nick Cave wrote a sequel to the song "Red Right Hand"—being heard in all three films as well as the 2022 reboot—which was playing in the closing credits, but was not included in the soundtrack. Beltrami also derived few notes from the song in his score. The American metal band Creed also recorded "Is This the End" played in the end credits. The band's song "What If" was used in the film, and was promoted with a music video, resembling the events of the film and includes a cameo by David Arquette, which was used in the film's home media release.[8][9]
Writing for AllMusic, Steve Huey said that the "high pedigree" of the album's contributors had produced a "pretty listenable album" and gave 2.5 out of 5 to the album.[7]
Unlike the score for the first two installments, which had been released into a single dual album,[13] the score for Scream 3 was compiled into a single album. Varèse Sarabande issued the score album on February 29, 2000, consisted of 22 tracks that ran for over 33 minutes, though much of the score has been excluded from the album.[14] Like its predecessor, Beltrami incorporated excerpts of the score to Broken Arrow by Hans Zimmer in the track "Sid Wears a Dress".[14]
Reception
Writing for
Filmtracks.com, Christian Clemmensen commented "Beltrami's score for Scream 3 overachieves and is one of the few true bright spots in an otherwise forgettable sequel".[14] Gregory Heaney of AllMusic awarded the Scream 3 score 2.5 out of 5 and said "Scream 3 has a nail-biter of a score, blending eeriness with just the right amount of aggression to create the kind of nervy atmosphere that's essential to any slasher film. This is the score for any horror junkie looking to relive the thrills and chills of this now classic film, or for anyone who just wants the feeling of being chased."[15] Music critic Jonathan Broxton awarded four stars out of five, summarising "this is a much more satisfying listen than any of the previous Scream incarnations, mainly because its length allows the listener to appreciate the full scope of Beltrami's efforts. The excitement of the violent stalk-and-kill cues and the shock-jump ferocity is nicely balanced with the more reflective moments, resulting in a well-rounded, highly enjoyable album that more than does justice to the film it represents."[16]
Later releases
On January 7, 2022, Beltrami score for the first four films in the Scream franchise was released in a limited edition box set of 1,800 units.[17] The score for Scream 3 was compiled in a two-disc album (disc 3 and 4), in its entirety, that runs for one-and-a-half hour.[18][19] Unlike, its predecessors, which saw a separate "deluxe edition" release for the full score. A vinyl box set was later released on June 10, 2022, although only 44 minutes of music were present.
