Acknowledging Country In the first project of its kind in Australia, the MSO has developed a musical Acknowledgment of Country with music composed by Yorta Yorta composer Deborah Cheetham Fraillon AO, featuring Indigenous languages from across Victoria. Generously supported by Helen Macpherson Smith Trust and the Commonwealth Government through the Australian National Commission for UNESCO, the MSO is working in partnership with Short Black Opera and Indigenous language custodians who are generously sharing their cultural knowledge.

The Acknowledgement of Country allows us to pay our respects to the traditional owners of the land on which we perform in the language of that country and in the orchestral language of music.

About Long Time Living Here In all the world, only Australia can lay claim to the longest continuing cultures and we celebrate this more today than in any other time since our shared history began. We live each day drawing energy from a land which has been nurtured by the traditional owners for more than 2000 generations. When we acknowledge country we pay respect to the land and to the people in equal measure.

As a composer I have specialised in coupling the beauty and diversity of our Indigenous languages with the power and intensity of classical music.

In order to compose the music for this Acknowledgement of Country Project I have had the great privilege of working with no fewer than eleven ancient languages from the state of Victoria, including the language of my late Grandmother, Yorta Yorta woman Frances McGee. I pay my deepest respects to the elders and ancestors who are represented in these songs of acknowledgement and to the language custodians who have shared their knowledge and expertise in providing each text.

I am so proud of the MSO for initiating this landmark project and grateful that they afforded me the opportunity to make this contribution to the ongoing quest of understanding our belonging in this land.

— Deborah Cheetham Fraillon AO

Art of the Score: The Music of Hans Zimmer Today, when you go to the movies, you’ll hear Hans Zimmer.

You might hear the composer himself, who is surely one of the most prolific creatives in any field working in Hollywood today. In 2021 alone, Zimmer released the soundtracks for six major films, including No Time to Die and Dune, while he worked on another two scores for the following year, as well as music for four television series. Today, especially when you’re seeing the biggest productions Hollywood has to offer, chances are they’ll be scored by Hans Zimmer, who along with John Williams is one of the few film composers to become a genuine household name.

But even if you don’t hear Zimmer himself at your local multiplex, you’re still likely to hear his influence.

Hollywood directors, videogame studios, and even reality television producers today all want that Zimmer sound. If you go to a movie like Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning (2023) you’ll hear music by Lorne Balfe, a protégé of Zimmer’s and a long-term collaborator at Zimmer’s Remote Control studios. If you go and see Aquaman (2018) you’ll hear a soundtrack composed by Rupert Gregson-Williams, another Remote Control associate. Or, on the small screen, tune in for an episode of Game of Thrones, Westworld, or House of the Dragon and you’ll hear yet another Zimmer mentee, Ramin Djawadi. Each composer has their own ability, their own skill, and their own sound—but each also follows in the footsteps of Zimmer, as do many who have never officially collaborated with the man himself. Zimmer is everywhere.

So how did Hans Zimmer become the man who changed the way we hear the movies?

Born in Frankfurt in 1957 to a musician mother and an engineer father, Zimmer grew up with “one foot in the music camp and the other foot in the technology camp,” as he told an interviewer in 2013. It was to prove an auspicious beginning. Despite only sustaining interest enough for two weeks of piano lessons as a child, Zimmer quickly took to synthesisers in his twenties and meandered his way through several rock bands in 1970s London including The Buggles, and Zimmer can to this day be seen on keyboards at the back of their music video for “Video Killed the Radio Star”. Falling in with veteran film composer Stanley Myers (The Deer Hunter), Zimmer apprenticed in the UK film industry before breaking into Hollywood first with his music for Rain Man (1988) and then Driving Miss Daisy (1989). He was a man in-demand in the 1990s, with his mixture of slightly dorky early digital music-making and the familiar film orchestra giving the movies he wrote music for, like Thelma & Louise (1991), Crimson Tide (1995), and The Rock (1996) a burst of fresh energy (and, in the case of The Lion King, an Academy Award for Zimmer along the way).

The new millennium, and a string of critical and financial successes in the form of The Thin Red Line (1998), Gladiator (2000, co-composed with Australian Lisa Gerrard), and then the Pirates of the Caribbean (2003) and Batman Begins (2005–2012) franchises cemented Hans Zimmer as Hollywood’s musical man of the moment. This Hans Zimmer was a long

Zimmer’s music has always been negotiated through technology. Not content with the usual electronic synthesisers used by composers in the 1980s, Zimmer quickly moved on to writing music for samplers and virtual instruments, where highly sophisticated digital technology is deployed to create an orchestral sound on a single computer. Gone overnight, it seemed, were the days where a director would hear their score for the first time with hundreds of musicians at the recording studio.

For Gladiator, director Ridley Scott and editor Pietro Scalia moved into Zimmer’s music studio to cut the film while Zimmer composed next door, with ideas shared, tested, and debated in real time. Today, Zimmer writes at least partly as much for computer as for orchestra.

“Hans is a minimalist composer with a sort of maximalist production sense,” says director Christopher Nolan, one of Zimmer’s most significant collaborators.

From the mid-2000s the Zimmer sound became exactly this—simple musical ideas suffused into extremities. His Batman theme from The Dark Knight trilogy, for example, is just two notes, like a musical bat-signal illuminating the clouds above in its sign-like simplicity.

Zimmer’s beloved ‘Time’ from Nolan’s Inception (2010) is also a case in point, with just four simple chords repeated in the same order over and over from the beginning of the piece to its conclusion.

It’s Zimmer’s sense of epochal scale that makes the track: we begin ‘Time’

whisper-quiet on piano, and over the course of four-and-a-half minutes reach the full might of fortissimo symphony orchestra and Zimmer’s bag of digital production tricks. It is breathtaking.

“They can just turn the music louder and louder and louder,” says Nolan, “because you realise the momentum of the film is entirely defined by the structure of the music.”

Yet the moment you think that the rest of the film industry has cottoned on to Zimmer’s style, he moves on. “You have to learn how to deal with the technology so it doesn’t drive you,” says Zimmer in a lesson that some of his imitators have never learnt.

Today, Zimmer’s career spans as wide a variety as the church organs of Interstellar (2014), the reverb-drenched synths of Blade Runner 2049 (2017), the rumble of Dune (2021), and the musical nostalgia of No Time to Die (2021).

In all cases, what you remember is more than music. You remember the power of the soundtrack and the overwhelming emotion of Zimmer’s score. You remember music that is bigger than you are, that is bigger than the moment. You remember music that is bigger, even, than Hans Zimmer.

way from the man who composed the very 1980s beat of Driving Miss Daisy.

This Zimmer’s music was muscular and powerful, delving into a musical vocabulary informed by rock and pop, German art music of the likes of Wagner and Mahler, and the digital tools Zimmer used and developed along the way.
