For the film's soundtrack, available on Nonesuch Records, composer Carter Burwell looked to 19th-century hymns for inspiration. The album includes 20 short original works by Burwell, featuring excerpts from the gospel hymns “Hold to God’s Unchanging Hand," “What a Friend We Have in Jesus," “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms," “Talk About Suffering," and “The Glory-Land Way." Digital versions of the album, including the free MP3s that come with Nonesuch Store orders of the CD, contain a bonus track: Iris DeMent’s rendition of “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms,” which plays during the film’s closing credits. The Los Angeles Times says the score works "equally well for big-screen vistas and solitary contemplation."
To pick up a copy of the soundtrack, head to the Nonesuch Store, where orders include high-quality, 320 kbps MP3s of the complete album plus Iris DeMent's performance of the hymn "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms," at checkout.
