Sherlock Holmes Soundtrack Is Anything But Elementary (original) (raw)

There are only three songs in Sherlock Holmes, none of which are on the soundtrack album, which only includes the score by Hans Zimmer. It’s actually a great score.

I kept on trying to figure out if the music in certain scenes was score or a song I just couldn’t plaTwo of the three non-score songs in the movie are actually from Isobel Griffith’s songs from the movie The Duchess. No wonder I had a hard time placing them. The only stand-out song is The Rocky Road to Dublin by The Dubliners, which plays during the fight scene.

The movie was great. Guy Ritchie is hit or miss, but with Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and Rachel McAdams to work with, it’s a hit. Gritty, funny, reasoned action (as in the brief explanation of the hit before the hit lands). Enjoy the movie, and the brief trove of tunes.

• (unknown scene) – German Dance No. 10 In D Major – Isobel Griffiths (from The Duchess)
• Dinner – Adagio from String Quartet Opus 1 No. 3 In D Major – Isobel Griffiths (from The Duchess)
• Fight – The Rocky Road to Dublin – The Dubliners
• Original music for Sherlock Holmes – Hans Zimmer
