Like its predecessor, The Lost World: Jurassic Park was scored by famed composer John Williams. He didn't write a stereotypical sequel score, bit instead developed a wildly different style for the different location. John Williams largely avoided using the three major themes he had written for Jurassic Park. There are two new primary themes for this score: the first is a rousing melody typically given to the horns, trombones and strings over a churning accompaniment provided by low woodwinds and percussion. This theme is darker and less overtly heroic. The second theme is more frequently heard - a haunting four-note melody and it is this theme that opens the film.
