"What I really enjoy about writing for orchestras is realizing that it's kind of self-evident, but the fact that they are 48 individuals and it's not, you know, a preset on a keyboard [...] It's all these people that have opinions and they're making decisions about how to play."

— Jonny Greenwood on writing the orchestral score for The Master.[2][3]

The Master: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack to the 2012 film of the same name. The album released by Nonesuch Records on September 11, 2012,[4] comprised eleven compositions from the original score by Jonny Greenwood, whom he had previously collaborated with Anderson on There Will Be Blood (2007).[5][6] The soundtrack further accompanied four recordings from late-1930s to early-1950s.[7][8] The score received critical acclaim and numerous accolades.
