The first trailer features an absolutely majestic orchestral arrangement of Claude Debussy's iconic "Clair de Lune". This classical music theme to the marketing has been followed with a TV Spot featuring an orchestral rendition of "Over the Rainbow" and an extended preview played at Wondercon using "Nessun Dorma".
Ghidorah's theme incorporates Buddhist chantingnote Specifically, the Heart Sutra along with booming orchestration to make a menacing song perfect for the three-headed destroyer. Even better, these chants are supposed to ward off evil spirits; even the music is afraid of Ghidorah.
"Good Bye, Old Friend", a powerful theme that eclipses Serizawa's desperation to revive Godzilla. According to sources, the vocalization used by Bear is Babylonian.
"Rebirth", a beautifully triumphant variant on Godzilla’s classic theme conveying the raw, emotional feeling that the king is back.
"Battle in Boston", an epic battle theme that perfectly blends Godzilla, Ghidorah, Mothra and Rodan's themes into one.
Tom Holkenborg's new theme for Godzilla. It's much slowed down compared to Bear McCreary's classic take in KOTM, but the deep bass really gives it a ominous sense of "I'm coming for you!", especially when Godzilla makes his entrance for the Tasman Sea battle.
Mechagodzilla's theme plays like Godzilla's but with a hellish-sounding choir doubling for the bass elements.
Man With a Mission handled the Japanese release of the movie by Toho with additional songs for the movie and promotion. The Japanese trailer starts out with the original English soundtrack before shifting into the group's "Into the Deep" in time with the action sequences.
Chris Classic's "Here We Go", used in the trailer, serves as the tone setter for the film (and the entire Monsterverse) and the hype inducer with its rocking instrumentation, all just to prepare us for the big Kongfrontation between Kaiju and giant Ape.
"Hong Kong" is like a roller-coaster of emotions during the climax. From racing high with the titanic clash of Godzilla versus Ghidorah-Mechagodzilla, dropping down to moments of near despair for Godzilla, climbing back up at moments when Kong saves his rival, before gradually ending on a somber yet gentle pace where the two Titans finally bury the hatchet between the two of them.
