Qatar Airways has unveiled its new onboard signature music, created in partnership with world-renowned composer Hans Zimmer.
Inspired by Qatar and its culture, Qatar Airways’ new onboard music brings a distinctive sound identity to the passenger experience. Zimmer is best known for movie scored including for Interstellar, Inception, Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lion King, The Dark Knight Trilogy and Dune.
The music also shows up on the ‘Burgundy Symphony’ album, a bespoke five-track album that encapsulates the airline’s wider sound identity and signature sound elements.
The collaboration brings together Zimmer’s acclaimed cinematic storytelling and Qatar Airways’ commitment to delivering memorable experiences, creating a recognisable sound that reflects the emotions, moments and memories that define travel.
Qatar Airways passengers can experience the new composition onboard from today. The airline celebrated the launch at Hans Zimmer’s highly-anticipated concert in Doha on 6 November, where audiences were given an exclusive first look at the story behind the collaboration through a specially created film on the creative process and inspiration behind Burgundy Symphony, alongside a preview of the music.
The Burgundy Symphony album captures the rhythm of travel through five original tracks, each reflecting a different stage of the journey.
Dawn opens the collection with a sense of anticipation and possibility experienced when stepping beyond the daily routine and discovering new horizons.
Dusk reflects the tranquillity of flight as daylight fades and travellers fly above the clouds beneath a starry sky.
The Orchard introduces a restorative pause, inspired by moments of calm and reflection amidst the pace of everyday life.
Homecoming reflects the quiet gift of returning home and the small but lasting ways travel enriches life.
Finally, An Ode to Qatar, concludes the album with a tribute to the nation’s heritage and forward-looking vision.
