Elizabeth: The Golden Age: Music from the Motion Picture is the soundtrack of the 2007 film Elizabeth: The Golden Age, directed by Shekhar Kapur and starring Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush. The original score was composed by Craig Armstrong and AR Rahman. Rahman and Armstrong worked on the score after jamming sessions in the studio. The score was recorded in Scotland, in Armstrong's studio in Glasgow. Kapur was thrilled to have both Armstrong and Rahman working together on the music, saying it was fascinating to watch "two people with totally different backgrounds and cultures" interact.
