If you enjoyed the haunting orchestral music and lively songs from Tim Burton's spooky animated comedies, don't miss out on the Corpse Bride soundtrack.

Burton's creative underworld images have provided a perfect outlet for the unconventional music talents of Danny Elfman, a film composer and former member of the group Oingo Boingo.

The soundtrack contains songs that vary from energetic jazz and spine-chilling horror scores to melancholy ballads.

Each track mirrors a memorable moment in the film, which covers several genres, including romance, satire, horror and comedy.

Helena Bonham Carter, who voiced the corpse bride, provides one of the best moments in both the film and soundtrack with her delicate and heartbreaking vocals in Tears to Shed.

The Wedding Song, a joyful offering by a merry band of skeletons, is the work of Elfman and a back-up band.
