Dune: Part Two (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album composed and arranged by Hans Zimmer for the 2024 film Dune: Part Two by Denis Villeneuve. It was released by WaterTower Music on February 23, 2024, one week before the film's theatrical release in the United States.
Background Composer Hans Zimmer had previously scored director Denis Villeneuve's 2021 film Dune, for which he received the Academy Award for Best Original Score in 2022. He had been a fan of the novel in his teenage years, and chose to score the first film over Christopher Nolan's Tenet.
Production After scoring the first film, Zimmer continued writing music in anticipation for its sequel.
Release Ahead of the soundtrack's release, WaterTower Music released two singles on February 15, 2024: "A Time of Quiet Between the Storms" and "Harvester Attack".
Critical reception Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com wrote, "Hans Zimmer's Oscar-winning score felt a bit overdone to me in the first film, but he smartly differentiates the cultures here, finding more metallic sounds for the cold Harkonnens to balance against the heated score for the Fremen."
