War Horse is the score album to the 2011 film of the same name directed by Steven Spielberg. Spielberg's norm collaborator John Williams composed and conducted the score for the film, the second score composed the same year by Williams for Spielberg after The Adventures of Tintin. The score featured a 90-piece orchestra performing the orchestral music and was recorded during March and April 2011. It was released on 21 December 2011 by Sony Classical Records, four days prior to the film's release. The soundtrack was also released in German in February 2012, to accompany with the dubbed release of Gefährten in Germany. The soundtrack received positive response from critics, and Williams received nomination for Best Original Score category at the 84th Academy Awards, but lost to French composer Ludovic Bource for his score for The Artist. It also received nominations for Original Score at Golden Globe, BAFTA and Satellite Award, which was also lost to The Artist.
