    I am a musician and I love all types of music. But rarely does a piece of music move me the way this piece does. As Mr. Ireland stated, I too, become completely overwhelmed with emotions. Not just one, but a flood of them. I am SO happy to find these down loads. I also wish there were more of it. Thank you PBS.

    You are not correct since you don’t know who THE IGOR is.

    Matt Ireland: I’m the same; my eyes tear up EVERY time I hear the first, faint note of the opening theme, which I have heard so many times. The music evokes the wonder of all that is Africa, where it all began…………….

    I echo David Silchman comments for a symphony. This music is so moving. Thank you for making it available!

    I read through the comments and see that several people are after the old theme song for Nature just like me. I want it so much I am searching the internet for it. That theme played in the 1980’s and 1990’s when George Page was still narrator.

    The old theme song is hypnotic, mesmerizing to me. As others have stated about both old and new versions, it does something to recall pleasant experiences of long ago. It (old version) is only played in my memories now, but I still hear it. That is how good it was. It is magic.

    The newer, post-George-Page song is also good, but it is not hypnotic like the old one. I think producers should bring back the old one perhaps on a test basis for reactions. I’ll bet you will be surprised.

    If there is anyway you can post a clip of the old theme song I and others would dearly appreciate it!

    I like this theme music and the theme music for Globetrekker. As for the later you might like a couple of the tunes from Tangerine Dream’s Rockoon album as well as some of their other music. I got into this search after listening to Rockoon thinking they might have done the Globetrekker theme.

    The two pieces send a shiver down my spine. Cannot wait for Nature to begin and then to end.

  18. Mari says:

    The Nature theme music makes me soar – it makes me wiggle – it makes me cry and laugh at the same time.What in the world is so beautifully moving about this music??

  19. Rebecca says:

    I have been a fan of NATURE since the beginning. I would wait for that opening theme music and tell everybody to just sit and listen to it. It would give me goosebumps. I’m talking about the original theme that has been referred to here by several others. I am so glad to see that others were affected by it like I was (my siblings thought I was crazy). Anyhow, if that original piece of music would become available, I would just be over the moon. About 25 years ago, I wrote a letter to Janet Hess in response to a program on captive dolphins. She was nice enough to write back, and that led to several phone conversations with the old TV show “Flipper” dolphin trainer who had become very outspoken against dolphins kept in captivity. Thanks WNET for providing so many years of pure joy. There is nothing on TV quite like NATURE.

    This I again, I meant to tell you in my previous email, that the song I’m looking for is PBs Nature song written by Alex Lasarenco, if you can download the intire song on CD I’ll pay you for it. The theme song was in the program Nature about plants this week… Thanks.

    The closing score, at the end of the show, is the most moving music for a program I have ever heard.

  22. William says:

    I concur with those wanting the older Nature theme music, what I assume is the original from the 80s (which I esp. associate with George Page episodes): that spellbinding building, intense synthesizer drone in the background with the fantastically majestic synthesizer (or horns?) section that comes rising up as the sun breaks over the horizon making the landscape scene go from dark to light.

    Wow! Cannot be beat! I would be glued to the show week after week just to catch the intro.

    I think the current long-running theme is kinda wimpy by comparison–just lacks the oommph factor. Like the great synthesizer ending to PBS shows in the 1970s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_JCzZAqqQg) you really came away thinking you were watching something REALLY important. Something with gravitas.
