It took over 555 musicians with sessions around Europe — including in Rome, Vienna, Venice, Switzerland and London — to put together the score for “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” composerThe composer started writing the music almost three years ago, and “at last count, there was over 14 hours of music recorded,” Balfe says. However, only two-and-a-half hours or so made it into the final cut of the film.
All the while, Balfe never strayed away from the franchise’s iconic theme laid out by Lalo Schifrin almost 60 years ago. “I embraced it,” Balfe says. “That DNA is well connected throughout the film. It’s connected to Ethan’s theme and the main opening titles.” It took a global village to put the score together. Balfe’s recording process followed where they were filming the movie. “I wanted to be pure and honest about what we were seeing and involve the local community,” he says. “So, when they were filming in Rome, we recorded there. And we went to Vienna and found local musicians there.” He adds, “There are times when it warrants a small ensemble, and there are times when it warrants a global franchise.
