Film Score and More | HTTYD 2 For the Dancing and the Dreaming (and the Dies Irae) - John Powell and Jónsi @FilmScoreandMore | Uploaded January 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
John Powell and Jónsi’s “For the Dancing and the Dreaming” from HTTYD 2 is definitely not my favorite HTTYD song, but there are some really unique aspects to it that are worth discussing - some of which I’ve only discovered very recently (it’s the Dies Irae). I’m not sure if it’s there on purpose, but it 100% has the right notes. So here's another HTTYD score analysis: For the Dancing and the Dreaming (and the Dies Irae).
I didn’t expect to cover the Dies Irae in a HTTYD score analysis, but here I am. At least I have a little something new to say about it; I haven’t found anywhere else that someone has identified it in HTTYD (or Spider-Man: Homecoming).
