Composed by Alan Silvestri.

After a long collaboration with composer James Horner, filmmaker James Cameron tapped up-and-comer Alan Silvestri to handle musical chores for his 1989 undersea epic The Abyss, and the resulting score proved a marvel of craft and scale. Employing choral and orchestral elements to magical, larger-than-life effect, Silvestri communicates both the pulse-pounding adventure and the mystical otherness that together galvanize the film--his portrayal of the strange world below the water's surface is sublimely atmospheric, evoking the known and the unknown with vivid imagination. ~ Jason Ankeny
