Wave Theory Records has released a soundtrack album for the BBC mini-series Man in an Orange Shirt. The album features the show’s original music composed by Dan Jones (On Chesil Beach, Shadow of the Empire, Lady Macbeth, Any Human Heart, World on Fire) and performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. The soundtrack is now available to stream/download on Amazon and other digital music services. Man in an Orange Shirt is written by Patrick Gale, directed by Michael Samuels and stars Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Julian Morris, James McArdle, Joanna Vanderham, David Gyasi and Vanessa Redgrave.

So glad this has been released. I loved the series and thought the music was so beautiful. It captured each scene perfectly and was so moving. I bought the DVD so I could listen to the music again! At the time it came out on the TV I enquired with the BBC as to how I could get a copy of the soundtrack and was told it was not available. Well worth the wait. Thanks so much
