Despite the over-exposure of "My Heart Will Go On" during the late '90's, the soundtrack for the movie Titanic was nearly as epic as the movie itself.
James Cameron intended for Enya to write the score for the movie. However, Enya declined and James Horner stepped in. There is quite a bit of wordless vocals in the soundtrack provided by Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkiebø. The background choir is digital.
"My Heart Will Go On" won both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Original Song.
Titanic: Music from the Motion Picture was released in 1997.
A second soundtrack, Back to Titanic, contains new recordings, unreleased recordings, and source music for the film. This includes the music from the party below decks, and music from the string quartet that played on the deck as the ship sank. This soundtrack was released eight months after the first, but still achieved commercial success.
