I vividly remember watching the film for the first time with my family, hearing the music, and feeling incredibly emotional. I wanted to understand how the music worked so I sat in bed with a torch and manuscript paper, writing out the harmony, and trying to understand how Hans Zimmer achieved such emotion through repetition and orchestration. The Royal Albert Hall contains quite a few quirky sounds including two different sets of bells - I decided to add the tubular bells in to create a real sense of suspense at the beginning. I wanted to add an extra bit of musical magic that makes you think “hang on, what am I listening to?” and captures the way I felt hearing this piece for the first time as a teenager.“ FOLLOW ANNA LAPWOOD: Instagram – Facebook – Twitter – TikTok – @annalapwoodorgan FOLLOW SONY CLASSICAL: Instagram – Facebook – Twitter – TikTok – @sonyclassical YouTube – Website – Filmed & recorded at London’s Royal Albert Hall #Annalapwood #TheDaVinciCode #MidnightSessions
