Composer [[Michael Nyman]]'s score to the film was abruptly replaced with music by [[Alan Silvestri]] for the theatrical release.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Goldwasser |first=Dan |date=March 16, 2000 |title=Michael Nyman - Interview |url=https://www.soundtrack.net/content/article/?id=53 |access-date=2024-10-24 |website=Soundtrack.Net}}</ref> This last-minute change resulted in the release of two soundtracks, although as primarily a [[compilation album]] only the two tracks of newly created material were changed. A 50-track demo (the last two tracks being "Convening the Coven" and "Maria Owens") of Nyman's score has been circulating among fans as a [[Bootleg recording|bootleg]]. The complete Nyman score runs 62:30 and contains music that would later appear, in altered form, in ''[[Ravenous (1999 film)|Ravenous]]'' and ''[[The Actors]]'', as well as a bit of his stepwise chord progression theme from ''[[Out of the Ruins]]''/''[[String Quartets 1–3#String Quartet No. 3|String Quartet No. 3]]''/''[[Carrington (film)#Music|Carrington]]''/''[[The End of the Affair (1999 film)#Music|The End of the Affair]]''/''[[The Claim (2000 film)|The Claim]]''. "Convening the Coven", though not "Maria Owens," was subsequently reissued on ''[[The Very Best of Michael Nyman: Film Music 1980–2001]]'',<ref>{{Cite web |title=Practical Magic- Soundtrack details |url=https://www.soundtrackcollector.com/title/9683/Practical+Magic |access-date=2024-10-24 |website=SoundtrackCollector.com}}</ref> and music that uses material related to this piece has not been used elsewhere. "Convening the Coven" became "City of Turin" on ''[[The Glare]]''.

Singer [[Stevie Nicks]] headlined the soundtrack's published advertisements, promoting her song "If You Ever Did Believe" and a new recording of her song "[[Crystal (Fleetwood Mac song)|Crystal]]," both featuring [[Sheryl Crow]] on back-up vocals.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Masley |first=Ed |date=2021-11-10 |title=The Stevie Nicks 'Dreams' TikTok challenge was huge.
