==Music== {{Main|Jurassic Park (film score){{!}}''Jurassic Park'' (film score)}} [[John Williams]], a frequent composer of Spielberg's films,{{sfn|Shay & Duncan|1993|p=59}} began scoring ''Jurassic Park'' at the end of February 1993, and it was recorded a month later. [[Alexander Courage]] and John Neufeld provided the score's [[orchestrations]].{{sfn|Shay & Duncan|1993|p=144β6}} As with the Spielberg film ''[[Close Encounters of the Third Kind]]'', Williams felt he needed to write "pieces that would convey a sense of 'awe' and fascination", given that the film dealt with the "overwhelming happiness and excitement" of seeing live dinosaurs. More suspenseful scenes such as the ''Tyrannosaurus'' attack required frightening themes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=8186 |title=The Making of Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park |date=February 20, 2012 |author=Siegel, Robert |publisher=Blu-Ray.com |access-date=August 16, 2013 |archive-date=April 9, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130409204533/http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=8186 |url-status=live}}</ref> The [[Jurassic Park (film score)|first soundtrack album]] was released on May 25, 1993.<ref>{{cite web |title=Jurassic Park (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) |website=AllMusic |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/jurassic-park-mw0000097115 |access-date=March 29, 2007 |archive-date=June 8, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120608212733/http://www.allmusic.com/album/jurassic-park-mw0000097115 |url-status=live}}</ref> For the 20th anniversary of the film's release, a new soundtrack was issued for [[Music download|digital download]] on April 9, 2013, including four bonus tracks selected by Williams.<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://musicconnection.com/remastered-jurassic-park-soundtrack-includes-4-unreleased-john-williams-tracks/ |title=Remastered Jurassic Park Soundtrack Includes 4 Unreleased John Williams Tracks |publisher=[[Universal Music Enterprises]] |date=March 26, 2013 |access-date=January 6, 2013 |archive-date=April 5, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130405011215/http://musicconnection.com/remastered-jurassic-park-soundtrack-includes-4-unreleased-john-williams-tracks/ |url-status=live}}</ref>
