The film also includes several other notable contemporary and historical listings not included on the released soundtrack:

• [1186]- The plucked string instrument during the first few seconds of the film as the titles appear. Named thus despite the fact that the film states the year is 1184. This track is actually composed by Hans Zimmer.
• Vide Cor Meum – The operatic aria during King Baldwin IV's funeral, originally composed for the soundtrack of the film Hannibal.
• Ave Regina cælorum – The first stanza of this twelfth-century antiphon is used on the soundtrack in the track "Burning the Past".
• Raimon de Miraval, Chansoneta farai Vencut – Occitan troubadour lyric of the early thirteenth century, used in the closing scene, and in the Director's Cut, in the flashback with Balian and his wife, performed by Ensemble Convivencia.
• Guiot de Dijon, Chanterai por mon corage – French trouvère lyric from the time of the Third Crusade, used in the Director's Cut for Godfrey's flashback as he remembers Balian's mother.
• Valhalla/Viking Victory – Music used during the "knighting" scene before the siege, originally composed for the soundtrack of the film "The 13th Warrior" by Jerry Goldsmith.
• Passion Chorale – Music played during Raynald's death (specifically, an excerpt from St. Matthew's Passion, BWV 244, by J.S. Bach "Befiehl du deine Wege", performed by the Hilliard Ensemble and Christoph Poppen and recorded for the album "Morimur", track 8 – Choral: Befiehl Du Deine Wege).
• Epitaph – A Nasheed-style song in Arabic by Luis Delgado from the Album Sueno de al-Zaqqaq ("The Dream of al-Zaqqaq"), is played in the scene in which Saladin enters the city. In this scene there are three songs from that album of Luis Delgado combined. The first is "Epitaph", the second is "Balansiya" and the third is "La Aurora Nocturna".
• Bibbe Leydi – This song is performed by Baaba Maal & Mansour Seck, used in the Directors's Cut, song played while Balian watches a toy boat float on water running down a wooden waterway in Ibelin.

The commercial soundtrack met with generally positive reviews, was considered one of the best film scores of 2005 and a top seller on Amazon.com; one critic claimed the soundtrack "transcends the film and works as a cohesive album that develops both thematically and musically throughout".[1] Although another reviewer thought the film score "surprisingly forgettable... it should fail to connect with film music listeners and moviegoers alike",[2] Jerry McCulley thought the soundtrack "rises admirably to the occasion with a sweeping orchestral score that masterfully trades on a wealth of disparate historical and stylistic influences".
