Elliot Goldenthal scored the movie A Time to Kill in 1996, its emotional, sweeping themes are typical of Goldenthal's other scores with, often, intense and/or stark emotional motifs; something he had by this time become adept at. The controversial subject matter of the film is the kind of thing Goldenthal does best, as with the darker moments of the Cobb score, and at times provide an intense backdrop to certain scenes, such as the Pressing Judgment cue.

The track "Pressing Judgment" is used in Goldenthal's score for "Titus" in a slightly longer version incorporating elements of that films theme, due to a typo error on the Titus score however that track is actualy called "Aaron's Plea".
