Michael Giacchino, the maestro behind the Academy Award-winning score for Up, is back in the composer's seat for Disney/Pixar's literal emotional rollercoaster Inside Out.

To set the musical tone for the film -- set primarily inside a young girl's mind filled with characters such as Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger -- Giacchino employed a 70-piece orchestra with an organ and a rhythm section of guitars and a drummer.

"It had to feel emotional," Giacchino said. "I wasn’t sure how I wanted it to sound, but I knew how I wanted it to feel. This film is personal."

Here are three score cues from the Inside Out soundtrack you can listen to now.

1. 'Bundle of Joy'

"I had a lot of fun writing the music," Giacchino added. "The film really goes all over the map musically, but what I love most about it is that we never forgot that it’s an emotional story that’s being told."

2. 'We Can Still Stop Her'

Aside from Up, Giacchino previously worked on Cars 2, Ratatouille and The Incredibles.

3. 'The Joy of Credits'
