Hans Zimmer has composed Earth especially for Ten Pieces.
The piece is his personal celebration of the planet we live on.
With his trademark sense of scale and drama, Hans captures the majesty and beauty of our home, as if seen from space.
The piece written is for live performance – and has a fantastic role for a children’s choir, making it perfect for schools or community groups to learn.
Hans has also set every child a challenge – to take his piece and create something new from it.
In his own words: “The piece of music I’ve written is just the beginning of the sentence. I want you guys to finish it!”
