The music production of The Shawshank Redemption

The film's soundtrack was composed by Thomas Newman. He felt that even without music in the film, it was enough to have a strong appeal, so it was difficult to Make sure the music takes the plot to the next level without distracting the audience.

The music that played after Andy escaped from prison was called "The Shawshank Redemption". The theme was originally composed of three notes, but the director felt that it was too "sense of triumph and prosperity" and asked to change it to a single-note theme. . The soundtrack to Red's release is "Red Was There Too" and continues until he discovers Andy's hidden possessions, which Newman is pleased with. The music was originally an oboe solo, but the author reluctantly agreed to add a harmonica part at the director's request, which meant that Red received the harmonica left to him by Andy and continued his journey of hope.

Director Darabont stated that harmonica player Tommy Morgan improvised a satisfying tune in just one take, which is the version ultimately included in the film. Newman's score is still used in many movie trailers years after the film's release.
