<P> The soundtrack album, consisting of 43 minutes of the film's score, was released with Klaus Badelt credited as the composer . The cues were edited for length, and minor changes to the mix were also made . For unknown reasons, the mixing of several cues are executed with gain levels so high that it causes distortion . This is noticeable particularly during the action cues and the reprise of the love theme in track 14, "One Last Shot". It is also noted that besides the first two cues, the tracks' generic names were unrelated to their contents . According to the official website of composer Geoff Zanelli, this was because the production "schedule was so short that (they) had to decide on the track names for the album packaging before the score was even written!" </P> <P> Badelt was credited as the conductor on early batches of the disc, but it was actually conducted by Blake Neely . </P> <P> For the most part, The Curse of the Black Pearl features simple orchestration . Counterpoint is rare; most of the louder music consists of melody, simple harmony, and rhythmic figures in the low brass and low strings . Sampled drum beats including tom - toms and various cymbals are used ubiquitously in such sections . A very low, rumbling bass line was also introduced into the mix to reinforce the cello and double basses . Quieter sections tend to rely either on the string section or on sound effects . Pan flute, possibly synthesized or sampled, and claves can be heard repeatedly in the eerier cues . </P> <P> One of the defining characteristics of this score's sound is the use of horn for melody . Nearly all of the score's louder sections feature the horns on the melody, frequently doubled by various string instruments . </P>
