The final cue of the MOONRISE KINGDOM soundtrack is a narration (by a very well-spoken young lad) analyzing the orchestral elements of Desplat's cue, "The Heroic Weather-Conditions of the Universe, Part 7: After the Storm." It is clearly an homage to Britten's "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" used earlier in the film. At its outset, the boy pronounces the composer's name, clearly enunciating the "s" therein, so that it indeed rhymes with Day Spa as mastadge indicated above. I am no expert in French, but it seems unlikely that the composer would have included a track in the official soundtrack in which his own name is mispronounced. (This cue is also heard in the theater following the film, if one is patient enough to wait around while the credits are rolling at the end.) Bottom line, it seems highly likely that the correct pronounciation is day-SPLAH, as the boy says.

Thank you.

There is no way to pronounce this name without sounding like a complete pompous tool. Proposal of a new name: Alex Wander.
