This was the first James Bond movie to be composed by an American (Marvin Hamlisch). A piece of music composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart inspired the title song "Nobody Does It Better", composed by Hamlisch. This movie includes in its score a few pieces of classical music by such composers as Johann Sebastian Bach (Air in Orchestral Suite No. 3, BWV 1068 aka Air on the G String), Frédéric Chopin (Nocturne No. 8 in D-Flat, Op. 27 No. 2), Camille Saint-Saëns (The Aquarium from The Carnival of the Animals) and Mozart's Andante second movement of Piano Concerto No. 21. "Elvira Madigan" plays when Atlantis arises from the sea. After the van breaks down, the theme from Lawrence d'Arabia (1962) plays when Bond and XXX walk across the desert. One young assistant in the cutting-room put it in as a joke, and it brought laughs to the team and they kept it in the final cut. As such, this was the first James Bond movie to use a score from another movie. Also, Anya's music box-transmitter plays "Lara's Theme" from Il dottor Zivago (1965). All of these pieces of music, however, are not included on the movie's soundtrack album, as they are merely excerpted in the movie.
