- Iguazu Falls is one of the main themes that I composed for the series Wonders of the Solar System. I wanted to compose a theme that had both a feeling of energy/movement and also beauty and wonder.
The opening fast repeating ostinato figures represent the small water droplets that come together and fall as rain at the start of the cycle. This culminates in the wondrous Iguazu waterfalls of the Iguazu River on the border of the Argentine province of Misiones and the Brazilian state of Paraná.
They are the largest waterfalls system in the world. I recorded this theme with an orchestra in Budapest.
Wonders of the Solar System is a 2010 television series co-produced by the BBC and Science Channel, and hosted by physicist Brian Cox. Wonders of the Solar System was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC Two on 7 March 2010.
The series comprises five episodes, each of which focuses on an aspect of the Solar System and features a 'wonder' relevant to the theme. The series was described as one of the most successful to appear on BBC Two in recent years.
Beautiful Sheridan, just beautiful. Thank you 🌹
Sir, Wonders of the Universe was one of the first things that got me interested in science as a kid, and your music is what got me interested in music and composition. Now, many years later, I've come back to this track to remember that, as a Ph.D. student in applied physics who's slowly digging into music too :')
Thank you for making this.
This music in Wonders of the Solar System is so breath taking! I have watched the series many times and the most enjoyable element is the music. I have often wondered why I enjoy the Wonders documentaries so much and it is the music. Simply gorgeous! Where can I purchase the soundtrack?
Thank you! The BBC did put out the music from the series on a CD but it was never migrated to iTunes or Spotify sadly. I've tried to get this album out again but that is a BBC decision not mine. Glad you enjoyed it here!
Magical
Such a Lovely piece. The Moment it's played with Brian Cox's narration over the top is just breath-taking, one of the most harmonious, emotive bits of TV & music I've seen. But why is it not on Spotify etc?!. Please, please, please upload it!!
