This may be wishful thinking, but I think it would be really cool/interesting if Adam Young scored The Silver Chair. He's the genius behind Owl City, and yes, I know Owl City is electronica, but this year he launched a new project: Adam Young Scores. Each month, he releases a soundtrack to a moment in history that inspires him, such as Apollo 11 or the first flight across the Atlantic. While some of them utilize a lot of synth, many are quite orchestral. (For instance, "Silence" on the Titanic soundtrack sounds quite Narnian to me.)

I don't know if he has the experience for the job, but I think he's quite talented and creative and I'm sure he would give the film a very unique sound. Plus, it seems like he might be a Narnia fan!

Oh, I would love that! Adam Young's music really fills me with the sense of longing for another place that I also associate with Narnia, so I think they would be a perfect match. And, while I'm nowhere near an expert on movie soundtracks, after listening to his recent scores, I think Adam Young has the skill to pull off a genuine movie score.

I know it might not be everyone's cup of tea. But I'd be really thrilled if some of Daniel John's music, as performed by his group Silverchair was worked in somehow. This Australian music group called themselves Silverchair after the Narnia book, and it would be sort of cool if the film borrowed their music back if the film director thought it was at all suitable or relevant.

Oh, so they actually got their name from Narnia? That's cool! I suppose I've been rather miffed at them for a few years now because every time I would search for Silver Chair news, nine times out of ten an article about them would come up instead. They have a nice old-school sound! Maybe they could write a song for the movie album.

Adam Young's music really fills me with the sense of longing for another place that I also associate with Narnia, so I think they would be a perfect match.

Ditto! I also feel that C.S. Lewis and Adam Young both have a similar skill for synthesizing the ordinary and extraordinary into something uniquely magical... in Young's music, I find a lot of the same kind of enchantment as the image of a faun carrying an umbrella. I think those two souls may hail from the same star, so to speak. I really hope they at least consider Young for the job!

There are so many good ideas floating around this board that it's difficult to narrow it down to my favorites.

Both Celtic- and Tchaikovsky-inspired scores would be amazing, though I probably lean a little closer to Celtic for the movie overall. But Tchaikovsky would be excellent for the scenes at Cair Paravel and the Snow Dance for sure!

Adam Young is a talented artist with some very creative and enjoyable works, and I'd be super happy to hear something by him in the credits of any of the remaining CoN films. I'm just not sure his score work is developed enough yet for a full-length movie. He's sure to keep improving though, and if the process of bringing SC to theaters takes a few more years maybe he'll be ready!

My personal favorite idea Future Narnian's suggestion of Patrick Doyle. His score for The Little Princess (1995 adaptation) really caught my attention, and since then he's also done Brave and Cinderella, as well as several Shakespearean adaptations. His music has a fantastical quality without being over-the-top or silly-sounding. The Little Princess has some beautiful small-scale choral (? vocal?) pieces that sound almost intimate instead of grandiose.
