Garritan Personal Orchestra was used in the soundtrack from the motion picture: "GODZILLA: Final Wars"

Keith Emerson wrote the bulk of the GODZILLA: Final Wars score, and there were several Japanese composers (Daisuke Yano, Nobuhiko Morino and Akira I~~~ube) who also contributed music to the soundtrack.
Keith Emerson is well know for being with the group Emerson, Lake, & Palmer. As might be expected by a Keith Emerson project, a lot of the music has an "Emerson, Lake & Palmer" feel to it with synth work and orchestral elements. Keith Emerson's quick-tempoed music was very well done and enjoyable to listen to. Will Alexander worked on the project with Keith Emerson and is now touring with the Rolling Stones.
Regarding the use of GPO, the solo strings, french horns and woodwinds on the soundtrack are from GPO.
Godzilla has endured for over 50 years and is an instantly recognizable icon of not only of Japanese cinema in particular but also the world over. FINAL WARS is the 28th film in the Godzilla series. Toho, the studio that makes the films, claims that this will be the last – a piece of news that is not welcome to Godzilla fans (but you know Hollywood :D). Godzilla recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.
