Lakeshore Records is set to release 
Parenthood: The Greatest Adventure—Music from the Programme on BBC digitally today, August 15, with music by Tom Howe (Ted Lasso, Mulan). Narrated by Sir David Attenborough, each episode showcases stunning animal parenting behavior from around the world with striking imagery that is matched by Howe’s vivid orchestral score. Watch Parenthood from Sunday 3 August on BBC One. All episodes will be available on BBC iPlayer.
Filmed over three years across six continents and 23 countries, Parenthood showcases astonishing, never-before-seen animal behaviours in stunning 6K ultra high definition. From the remote jungles of Bhutan to the grasslands of Botswana, each episode reveals the unique – and often surprisingly familiar – challenges faced by animal parents around the world. The stakes couldn’t be higher – success for all parents ensures the future of life on our planet.
Notes Howe: “The main theme for ‘Parenthood’ has two sections to it that can play separately or at the same time. The idea being to represent parents and their offspring apart and when together. The organic sounds used in the score also reflect the natural landscape with minimal use of synths. The score was recorded at Abbey Road over 5 days with London’s finest. The score is orchestral in nature with added guitars, banjos, mandolins and solo instruments which I played and recorded in my studio. It was a joyful project to work on”.
