Silva Screen Records has announced a soundtrack album for the BBC natural history series The Green Planet. The album features selections of the show’s original music composed by Benji Merrison (SAS: Red Notice, General Magic, The Beatles and India) & Will Slater (Dynasties). The soundtrack will be released digitally on Friday, April 22 and will be available to stream/download on all major digital music services, including Amazon. The Green Planet narrated by David Attenborough and executive produced by Michael Gunton takes place across five worlds – tropical, water, seasonal, desert and human and shows these worlds from a plant’s eye view. The 5-parter treats plants as protagonists and follows their story at their own pace, whilst they strive to reproduce, communicate, and survive. The series premiered in the UK earlier this year on BBC One and will debut in the U.S. on June 5 on PBS.
