Legendary film composer Hans Zimmer has teamed up with Qatar Airways to create a new musical identity for the airline. The musician has written original compositions specifically for the carrier to accompany passengers throughout their journeys.
Album features five tracks
The collaboration has resulted in an album titled Burgundy Symphony, featuring five original tracks. The music is inspired by Qatar's culture, history, and the atmosphere of travel.
According to the creators, each composition captures a different stage of a journey, from the anticipation of new discoveries to the return home.
The album features five tracks: Dawn, Dusk, The Orchard, Homecoming, and An Ode to Qatar. The first conveys a sense of anticipation and the possibility of discovering new horizons, while the second evokes the calm of flying above the clouds in the evening sky.

The track The Orchard is dedicated to moments of relaxation and inspired by the tropical ORCHARD garden at Hamad International Airport in Doha.
Meanwhile, Homecoming explores the emotions of returning home, while the final composition, An Ode to Qatar, is a musical tribute to the country's cultural heritage and modern development.
When did the premiere take place?
The project premiered on November 6 during Hans Zimmer's concert in Doha. The audience was also shown a special film about the making of the album and the creative ideas that inspired the composer.
Qatar Airways passengers can now hear the new music directly on board the airline's aircraft. Meanwhile, the full Burgundy Symphony album is available on the airline's official YouTube channel.
