Chevalier (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the 2023 film of the same name directed by Stephen Williams, based on the life of French-Caribbean musician Joseph Boulogne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, featuring original music composed by Kris Bowers, and also features classical compositions from the 18th century (some includes the own work of de Saint-Georges), reworked and produced by Michael Abels.

The soundtrack was released by Hollywood Records on April 21, 2023,[1] alongside the film, preceded by the first track "Violin Concerto in G major, Op.

Sometimes we might add a couple of instruments to give a little bit of extra power to a phrase, but primarily this was about displaying Joseph's music and telling his story and making sure that it was cinematically valid."

The solo violin performances – especially those by featured virtuoso Randall Goosby – are sensational, but Bowers’s original music does play second fiddle (pun intended) to the classical selections, and is more muted in terms of its clearly recognizable thematic content.
