Qatar Airways has introduced new onboard signature music composed by Hans Zimmer, the German-born composer known for film scores including Gladiator, Inception and The Dark Knight. The collaboration produces what the airline calls a distinctive sound identity across its passenger experience.
The music forms part of a five-track album titled Burgundy Symphony, each track mapped to a stage of travel. Dawn opens with a sense of anticipation; Dusk evokes the calm of flight after dark; The Orchard takes its inspiration from the garden installation at Hamad International Airport; Homecoming reflects the quiet of returning; and An Ode to Qatar closes the album as a tribute to the country’s heritage and direction.
The launch was marked at Zimmer’s concert in Doha on November 6, where a short film about the creative process behind the collaboration was screened ahead of a preview of the music. Passengers can hear the new composition onboard from today.
The full Burgundy Symphony album is also available on Qatar Airways’ YouTube channel.
