Who should score Wonder Woman?
Following WB’s decision to hire a female director, I thought it might be appropriate to hire on a female composer(s) to score the film as well.
While there aren’t many female composers of wide-release films at the moment, there are a few, but I think the best fit may be a collaborative effort between Lisa Gerrard who has collaborated with Hanz Zimmer on Gladiator, The Bible and Son of God, and who has composed films solo such as Whale Rider and Burning Man.
Her work is very atmospheric and not very dynamic, though, so I think adding a second female composer, though one without film scoring credits, might add the necessary dynamism; Jo Hamilton.
Jo Hamilton is a British singer/musician/composer of vast talent, and while she tends toward the atmospheric as well, she is also capable of creating driving music and I believe the combined vocal expertise she and Lisa Gerrard would bring to an exotic Wonder Woman soundtrack could be amazing.
Here’s a sneak peak at Hamilton’s new album; the song featured below is entitled ‘Glorious’ and it certainly is. A song like this could be used so easily in a Wonder Woman triumphant scene it raises the hairs on the back of my neck just thinking about it. The lyrics should probably be translated into whatever language they create for Themyscira as it would otherwise sound a tad on-the-nose and awkward.

Hamilton’s song ‘Liathach’ (a Highland Mountain in Scotland) demonstrates how Hamilton’s songs can set a mood very effectively and they also show off her incredible vocal power and range.

Finally her song ‘Release Us’, which is more rock oriented (prog-rockish), and demonstrates her ability to produce driving music which could accommodate the kind of action that a Wonder Woman film would be chalk-full of.

I also believe having Hanz Zimmer on hand as a consultant would benefit cementing a soundscape that would be compatible with the DC Universe and his familiarity with Gerrard would make such a collaboration very effective and efficient.
I realize this is completely fantasy casting and probably would never happen, but you can’t blame a guy for dreaming.
