True Grit: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is a soundtrack to the 2010 film of the same name . True Grit is the 15th Coen brothers film scored by long-time collaborator Carter Burwell . The Coens discussed the idea of using 19th-century church music, "something that was severe (sounding). It couldn't be soothing or uplifting, and at the same time it couldn't be outwardly depressing. I spent the summer going through hymn books," Burwell said.[ 2]
Johnny Cash 's rendition of "God's Gonna Cut You Down " was used in the theatrical trailer . The 1888 hymn "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms " is used as Mattie Ross' theme, and about a quarter of the score is based on it. Iris DeMent 's version, from her 2004 album Lifeline , is used during the end credits. Other hymns are also referenced in the score, including "What a Friend We Have in Jesus ",[ 2] "Hold to God's Unchanging Hand",[ 3] [ 4] and "The Glory-Land Way".[ 5] Because the hymns are considered pre-composed music, the score was deemed ineligible to be nominated for Best Original Score in the 2010 Academy Awards .[ 6]
