Yuki Kajiura made a comment about the soundtrack and the song in the official Madoka website

Here is the machine (DeepL) translation of it:

COMMENT
I had been eagerly awaiting *Walpurgis’s Turning Point* for so long. Just as I was brimming with joy that the time had finally come for me to compose the music, I received the offer to create the theme song.
There is no greater honor than being able to compose the entire score for this beautiful, nostalgic, poignant, and enchanting film.
The script, the storyboards, and the breathtaking visuals that began to come to life—I crafted the background music with a heart pounding with excitement, as if grappling with them head-on, and then there was the song “Kanata.” I didn’t want it to feel like a mere “answer key” to the story; rather, as a huge fan of this project that I’ve been a part of for so long, I carefully crafted every single note to send the characters off into their future in a dazzling way.
I hope this music can serve as a vibrant touch that allows everyone to immerse themselves and be captivated by *Walpurgis’s Turning Point*.
