In September 2012, Rick Schultz from The Jewish Journal revealed that English composer and conductor Benjamin Wallfisch would be composing the musical score of the film. Wallfisch had not read the novel prior to being asked to score the film. Speaking to Classic FM's Sam Pittis Wallfisch said that it was clear to him from the start that the score had to be something emotional and thematic. He also wanted to capture the beauty of the location where the film is set and tell stories through the music. 　　The score is played by the London Chamber Orchestra and features piano solos by Yuja Wang. Wallfisch thought Wang would be perfect to play on the score and he approached her with some of the pieces he had composed. Wang agreed to come aboard and during the recording sessions, Wallfisch was so impressed with her playing that he wrote her a solo piano suite of all the main themes. The score to Summer in February was released by Decca Records in the UK on 24 June 2013.
