the music was conducted by debney and orchestrated by brad dechter and don davis. james horner was originally slated to score the film, but became unavailable at the last minute, so debney had only two weeks to score the 96-minute film. prior to the production of the film, horner wrote a two-minute theme for sarah (commonly known as "come little children"), which ended up being used in the film, and featured in intrada's edition of the score (officially titled "sarah's theme").
