The Green Knight (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the score album composed by Daniel Hart to the 2021 film of the same name released by Milan Records on July 30, 2021. The film, directed, written, edited, and produced by David Lowery, adapted from the 14th-century poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, stars Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Sarita Choudhury, Sean Harris, and Ralph Ineson.
Hart extensively researched medieval and 15th-century English and European music to be able to reflect the period in which the film was set. While predominantly using period instruments, the score integrates synth music at certain intervals to create an eerie atmosphere. Recorded during August 2019 and March 2020, the film's score went through multiple re-revisions as Lowery had to re-edit the initial cut which he was unsatisfied with, pushing back the scoring process to early-2021. The score received positive reviews from critics.
