Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

The songs for this film were written before the script was complete, rooted in poems and drawings. Danny Elfman provided the lead vocal for the main character, bringing an operatic intensity to the project.

Dark classical arrangements provide the foundation, mixed with the strange rhythms that shaped his early nineties output. The result is a piece of musical theater that mirrors the twisted nature of a Broadway show while maintaining the spirit of a holiday film.
