The Soundtrack

"The band They Might Be Giants wrote 10 songs for the movie, but a change in tone from a musical to a darker production meant that all but one was cut; a scene in which Coraline's other father sings along with a piano features John Linnell's voice. The band has said they will release the other songs created for the movie in other projects, including albums."

Beyond They Might be giants, the songs featured in the film were composed by the French composer by the name of Bruno Coulais, who with the help of the Hungarian Symphony Orchestra and the Children's Choir Nice finished 10 different songs for the soundtrack and won Coulais the 2009 Annie Award for the best score for an animated feature. Some of the songs on the soundtrack sung by the choir are in what they describe as a "nonsense language" or gibberish.

Bruno Coulais is well know for his music over a great number of films but he's more known for his scores from Coraline,  Les Choristes, and another one of my favorites, The Secret of Kels.
