Jojo Rabbit (soundtrack)
The digital original motion picture soundtrack for Jojo Rabbit was released in 2019 by Fox Music/Hollywood Records/Universal Music Canada.[1] The original score was composed by Oscar-winning composer Michael Giacchino, with three compositions included on the soundtrack, and nine additional tracks by other artists.
Giacchino recorded about 45 minutes of music at Abbey Road Studios in London with a 35-piece orchestra.[2]
Regarding the score, Michael Giacchino explained, "I didn’t want the music to be funny. The bulk of the movie has this huge heart, especially in the character of Jojo himself, and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t adding to the zaniness. I wanted to underline the emotional component. For me, it’s a devastating story but in the end an uplifting one. With everything we’re going through now, it felt like something important to be a part of."[3]
