The musical score for The Desolation of Smaug was composed by Howard Shore. Shore provided orchestral sketches and synth mock-ups to orchestrators James Sizemore and Conrad Pope (who also conducted the orchestra). It was performed by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, London Voices and Tiffin’ Boys Choir, as well as two New Zealand Gamelan orchestras. The score featured themes from the previous film and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but relied heavily on the themes of Smaug, Laketown, the Woodland Realm (including themes for Tauriel and for Legolas), etc. In the process, the themes for the company of the Dwarves were discontinued and were replaced by a new thematic identity. The original motion picture soundtrack album was released on 10 December 2013. It received positive reviews, especially for its new themes.
