An acclaimed hit for the Nickelodeon television channel from 2005 to 2008, Avatar: The Last Airbender brought Asian mythology and martial arts combat to audiences of children. It told of an age of fantasy when the basic elements of the planet (Earth, Water, Fire and Air) could be controlled by individuals, with one “Avatar” maintaining the ability to handle all four.  This de facto leader is responsible for bringing the peoples of the world together, and in the absence of one for a long time, war has erupted between the “Benders” capable of manipulating just one of the elements.  The Fire Nation has sought to dominate, and the fate of the planet rests on the one known Airbender to remain.

Facing the impending release of James Cameron’s monolithic Avatar in the same year, the live action adaptation of the beloved show was forced to reduce its name to the subtitle, The Last Airbender.

Regular collaborator of director M. Night Shyamalan, James Newton Howard delivers a gem of a score, lathered in harmonic grandeur and monumental scope, utilizing the blunt force of an orchestra while layering its extremely balanced ranks with choral accents and specialty instruments.

Created from the original manuscript, this release offers a rare opportunity to study film music in its authentic, original orchestration and arrangement. An opportunity not to be missed!
