The Music takes you on voyages of discovery. Accompany Jacques Cousteau as he navigates the Amazon. Listen to the awe inspiring music of the Dominion of the Blue Whale. This is highly emotional and deeply personal music.

Epic adventure as Cousteau’s wind ship, Alcyon, charts its course around the notorious Cape Horn. The music ranges from hard driven adventure, through inquisitive docudrama and rollicking penguin circus music, to the eerie evocative "In Paradisum " for the lives that have perished in the watery graveyard of Cape Horn.

The flavor of the Amazon in all its awe and primitive majesty is captured in the music propelled by a combination of ethnic instruments and rhythms. Experience the spirit of Poraroca. Thrill to rafting the foaming white water as the team shoots the rapids. Swim with the pink and gray dolphins, inhabitants of the Amazon waters. The lust for gold is portrayed in the propulsive "River of Gold" music, while a pair of Brazilian trumpets and a soulful guitar portrays a lone prospector.

This music score was commissioned to accompany the Parc Oceanique exhibition in Paris. Music of great majesty conjures up the "Dominion of the Blue Whale" whilst other music takes you deep into the bosom of the ocean. This is music of elemental and monumental proportions.

The music for "Saint Lawrence" is a powerful tone poem charting the progress of the Calypso as it navigates the Saint Lawrence River. A ghostly waltz accompanies the team’s investigation of the wreck of "The Empress of Ireland" which, like hundreds of other ships, lies victim of the treacherous waters. A ballad tells of the frightening storms on the Great Lakes. Another part of the tone poem portrays history and habits of the Indians. The score recalls the whole epic experience.

The youthful Cousteau is portrayed with partly sensitive and partly silent-movie slapstick music. The mood becomes more regimental as Cousteau enters the Naval Academy. A tableau of great beauty reflects the excitement of his early dives. Inherent mystery and tension enter the music as Cousteau reaches deeper into the bosom of the ocean. A highly romantic idyll accompanies the Calypso voyages with his young family aboard. And finally Cousteau’s crusade, ushering in a warning for the future of the planet.

"The Warm Blooded Sea" is one of John Scott’s favorite scores. It is wide ranging and contains some of his most moving music. The warmth and beauty of the Patagonia whales and the cold sensitivity of the arctic Harp seal are musical studies magnificently performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
