parker’s synthesized soundtrack to Attenborough’s 1984 natural history series blends highly evocative themes, sounds and effects into an enthralling sonic accompaniment to the show’s stunning images of the Earth’s environments.

The ground-breaking score was composed by Parker at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop where she had been working since 1978 after gaining a master’s degree in composition and recording techniques. She moved permanently to the Workshop’s Maida Vale studios where she realised the music for well over 300 TV and radio programmes before her departure in 1996.
