While the score was written by Danny Elfman, Stephen Sondheim was brought in to write 5 songs for the movie. They are excellent songs.
The three soundtrack albums: 1) Danny Elfman's orchestral score 2) Madonna's I'm Breathless which contains three of Sondheim's songs from the film re-recorded for the album. 3) Dick Tracy (Original Score) contains songs inspired by the film. Half of them are apparently used in the film but none of them are Sondheim's.
I know one can just find these on YouTube, but given all the merchandising they did for the movie, including 3 soundtrack albums, a tie-in novel, a tie-in graphic novel, a video game, a McDonald's promotional tie-in and a line of 14 action figures, you'd think one of the soundtracks would have, well, the songs from the film.
