[4][5] Branagh claiming about Doyle's music being vitally important, had further stated,[6] "The tone we were trying to achieve was playful and joyful, but also emotional without being manipulative.

For Cinderella and Prince's main theme "La Valse de L’Amour", Doyle had written four additional waltzes and three polkas for the ball, lending a 19th-century musical flavour that complements the setting, design and costumes according to that time period.

One of Cinderella's key themes, where Ella's mother sings early in the film, is derived from a 17th-century tune lending on English folk music.

He added choral notes for few key sequences, including transformation of Cinderella’s dress, her isolation in the attic, which Doyle stated it as an "ethereal" and "melancholic touch", and for the wicked stepmother, which was "slightly more mysterious" and "otherwordly sense".

[6] In addition to the score, three tracks "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" and"Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" (songs adapted from the 1950 film) were featured in the end credits, sung by Lily James and Helena Bonham Carter, in addition to an original song "Strong" written by Doyle, Branagh and Tommy Danvers and recorded by Sonna Rele of MoTown.
