'''''12 Years a Slave''''' is the original soundtrack album to the 2013 film ''[[12 Years a Slave (film)|12 Years a Slave]]'' starring [[Chiwetel Ejiofor]], [[Michael Fassbender]], [[Benedict Cumberbatch]], [[Paul Dano]], and [[Lupita Nyong'o]]. The record contains twenty-one tracks from the original film score written and composed by [[Hans Zimmer]]. Despite its limited release, critical acclaim has been given to the score from the film industry. The score was nominated for the [[71st Golden Globe Awards|2013]] [[Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score]],<ref>{{cite web|title=2014 Golden Globe Awards'|url=http://www.goldenglobes.com/2012/12/nominations-2013|work=Golden Globes|access-date=January 12, 2014|date=January 12, 2014}}</ref> and won the 2013 [[Washington D.C.

==Composition== Having been interested in each other's work for some time, director [[Steve McQueen (director)|Steve McQueen]] approached composer [[Hans Zimmer]] to write the score to ''12 Years a Slave'' after filming had completed, explaining, "We had a mysterious conversation a couple of years back where [McQueen] told me he was working on something and asked me if I was even remotely interested in working with him," says Zimmer.<ref name="vulture.com">{{cite news|title=Hans Zimmer Tells Juicy Stories About the Classic Films He's Scored|url=https://www.vulture.com/2013/11/hans-zimmer-on-the-classic-films-hes-scored.html|access-date=November 5, 2013|newspaper=Fox Searchlight|date=November 5, 2013}}</ref> Zimmer, however, expressed reluctance to accept the offer feeling he wasn't the right person for the job. Zimmer explained, "I felt I wasn't the guy, in a way. It was such an important, heavy, incredible subject. [...] It took a bit of persuading from [McQueen] to give me the confidence to do it".<ref>{{cite web|last=Weintraub|first=Steve|title=Hans Zimmer Talks 12 YEARS A SLAVE, the Importance of the Film, Akiva Goldsman's WINTER'S TALE, Reflections on Ridley Scott's HANNIBAL, and More|url=https://collider.com/hans-zimmer-12-years-a-slave-interview/|work=Collider.com|access-date=October 27, 2013|date=October 20, 2013}}</ref> On April 30, 2013, it was officially announced that Zimmer was scoring the film.<ref>{{cite web|title=Hans Zimmer Scoring Steve McQueen's 'Twelve Years a Slave'|url=http://filmmusicreporter.com/2013/04/30/hans-zimmer-scoring-steve-mcqueens-twelve-years-a-slave/|work=Film Music Reporter|access-date=October 27, 2013|date=April 30, 2013}}</ref>
==Development==
Director Steve McQueen liked the mood of Zimmer's music from ''[[The Thin Red Line (1998 film)|The Thin Red Line]]'', which itself became a starting point for discussion and development regarding the mood for ''12 Years a Slave''. McQueen explained, "He was my refuge when I was in L.A. The first two meetings were about five hours each. Then I think we had three two-hour conversations on the phone. And not a musical note was played. After that, [Zimmer] said, 'I think I've got something.' Somehow, through the talking, he captured the atmosphere of the film."<ref>{{cite news|title=Zimmer's Tale of Two Scores|url=https://variety.com/2013/music/features/zimmers-tale-of-two-scores-1200802066/|access-date=November 7, 2013|newspaper=Variety|date=November 7, 2013}}</ref>
Much of the movie is scored with the same four-note theme, which Zimmer adapted according to the scene's mood and emotion.<ref name="vulture.com"/> For the score of ''12 Years a Slave'', Zimmer conceded, "It's basically a cello and violin score. I wanted to be the secret little bridge that would take the story from the past and move it into the present."
Cellist Tristan Schulze and violinist [[Ann Marie Calhoun]] performed on the score in addition to more strings and occasional percussion involved throughout the process. "It was not just getting inside the characters," Zimmer said, "it was getting outside the characters and finding a bridge to the audience." Much of the 38-minute score "creates a stillness, or a tension through the stillness, using very minimal means," he added, although the riverboat ride offers a briefly avant-garde musical contrast, including woodwinds and an unusual use of piano.
The original score was released by [[Fox Searchlight]] as part of the [[For Your Consideration (advertising)|For Your Consideration]] campaign aimed towards members of awards voting groups such as that of the [[Academy Awards]], and the [[Hollywood Foreign Press]] of the [[Golden Globes]].
