The Petra Theor[u]m and the buildup of Taking Flight are both great, but I’d have to give it to Petra. (Leaving the Village deserves far more than its 11 plays, though)

  Hi Alex
  I really liked the same track….hauntingly evocative.
  Its series 1 ep 3 about 50 mins.
  The lyrics are “The River”: Chromatics. But this track sounds quite different..perhaps a different singer and music reworked…I wondered if it had been rerecorded in the style from Human Universe but am waiting on an answer as we speak.regards David

Hello Philip,
I absolutely love the score and was very pleased to find it here (although I’m looking forward to getting my own copy!) I think as a whole it unites beautiful sound, voice and thought from humanity and melds it into an uplifting and inspiring tone which greatly complements the series and stands alone.

Ta!

I think my favourite track is ‘Navajo Hymn’, although like some of the commentors above I’m sure there’s a track or two missing?

What is the instrumental song played in both are we alone when he throws the stones up and talks about parallel civilisations not living long enough to meet each other and also in place in space in time when he talks about the size of Milky Way galaxy and position of our solar system near the Orion arm? Is it one of those songs because I don’t recognise it

Can’t really decide if I should choose “Arrowhead Star” or the “Navajo Hymn” as my favorite as it’d largely depend on my current mood.
But both are closely followed by “The Petra Theorum” and “Earthrise”.

And the “ISS Overture” is my least favorite piece – esp. the first 1:30

I love “Your Eyes Have Your Age”. However, I hope someone can help me with a different track. I sought out Philip’s work having been inspired by Human Universe, and I’m so glad I did. But the piece I was after doesn’t appear to be on the album. 6 mins 24 seconds into here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0276q28/human-universe-4-a-place-in-space-and-time It’s really short, but If anyone could help I’d love to know the title and where I can get it.

Strangely, I hadn’t realised I was already a fan of Philip Sheppard, it’s only having read through this site that I found I’ve been listening to his influence for years. I love his work with Uncle, and represents some of the best collaborations from James Lavelle.

Philip will you include the track that occurs 55.24mins into episode tube when Brian Cox explains the inevitability of there being a human universe resulting from inflation?

It’s really hard to pick a favourite out of the lot, but since I’m pressed to make a choice I’ll hesitantly go for “The Petra Theorum” as it somehow perhaps best encapsulated the feeling of the entire series in its exquisite buildup, lovely melody and creation of a sense of grand wonder.

  Believe me, your frustration is matched by mine. Getting any TV company to agree to a release is a long process. I think they generally don’t believe anybody would be interested. Watch this space though, and thanks for your patience and interest – Human Universe Soundtrack *will* come out!

I’ve double checked the tracks available and I’m fairly sure there’s one missing.. I think it’s the track that occurs at 22:18, just before we see Mars, in the “Are We Alone?” Episode (Ep.3)

Hi Philip! The whole preview is absolutely fantastic! I think my favourite piece would be Earthrise but I also really enjoyed listening to Fresco.

I was also wondering about a piece playing in the 4th episode whilst the astronauts orbiting the orbiting the moon & the earth rise photo is taken. Would you happen to know the name of that piece? Thank you!

I cannot wait to buy the full album once it’s released!!

  I said it was “Your Eyes have your age” however It’s Earth flight and Fresco too .. I realise that several of the scores have been used in Wonders of The Universe in a way that it almost sounds like one complete score, so the transition between them is seamless ? It’s great How a change of style is brought about by small differences in each composition
  I can’t wait till it’s available to buy!!

What about “Berber upbeat”? More instrumental and lively than “The Atlassian”.
It sounded on the fourth episode and also in a clip at the BBC website
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0294s7n
The partiture appears for a second.

By the way, in Spain, Human Universe has been broadcasted in these days. A reason for the delay? Hope so.
Lovely tunes, Philip.
Thanks.

From the list, ‘Capsule Pursuit’ is probably my favorite; exquisite! However, I must ask: Are these the full tracks? I specifically wonder about ‘Your eyes have your age’ because in the first episode of the series, during the scene when the capsule lands, the music continues beyond what is here. Over all, amazing track!

Hi Philip – listening to the soundtrack from In The Shadow Of The Moon as I type these words of frustration…..
I already commented here some time ago about your amazing music for Human Universe and thought that by now the release promised would be available, but it doesn’t appear that is the case.
Can you confirm, once and for all, whether this wonderful soundtrack is ever going to be properly released – it really should be as it is a real gem which the world needs to hear!!!
I await your response with much baited breath…..Paul.

I live in Winnipeg, Canada, and my cable television provider is providing a free preview of BBC Earth, which I stumbled on by accident. Human Universe was the show that was playing at the time, and Arrowhead Star was the song that was playing, so even if the channel ends up not being carried here, I consider myself fortunate to have discovered the music that accompanies it, thank you.

What a joy to find these tracks, right under my nose on sound cloud. The score to HUMAN UNIVERSE is just wonderful. Can’t pick favorites but both EARTHRISE & ARROWHEAD STAR make me want to dust off my Astronaut school application …

I’m a Canadian editor and poet and I am enamoured of your score for “Human Universe,” especially the plaintive voice of the woman who sings “I’m still here waiting for you.” It haunts me for its beauty and because it brings to mind the traditional Haiduk song performed by the Bulgarian singer Valya Balkanska on Carl Sagan’s “Golden Disk.” Could you direct me to the recording or the text? It would mean a lot if you could. Many thanks! JRC

It’s the one and only Arrowhead Star for me! Simply magical and surreal. It drove the message home just before the end credits when the good Prof. Cox placed the shard of rock in the foreground with the Russian shuttle in the background! I love how the music starts slow and builds to a crescendo! A close second for me is Song of Earth. Thank you, Mr. Sheppard!
