The film score, Fragments of a Prayer, was composed by John Tavener and released on Varèse Sarabande.

Director Alfonso Cuarón describes Tavener's "Fragments of a Prayer," as "a spiritual comment rather than a narrative support." The track features mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly and is used as a powerful motif. Unlike most composers, Tavener chose not to score the piece to the film, but to the screenplay instead.[1]

The poetry of William Blake is featured in the lyrics to "Eternity's Sunrise", a work Tavener had previously written and dedicated to Princess Diana after her death.[2]

Gustav Holst's "Mars" is used in the film although it is not featured on the album.

  1. "Fragments of a Prayer" – 15:21
  2. "Eternity's Sunrise" – 10:53

  4. "Kindertotenlieder/Nun Will Die Sonn' So Hell Aufgeh'n" (Gustav Mahler) – 5:31
