Listen to 2 Exclusive Tracks From Tim Phillips’ Becoming Elizabeth Score

ComingSoon is pleased to offer two exclusive tracks from composer Tim Phillips’ score for the upcoming Starz series Becoming Elizabeth, titled “Becoming Elizabeth (Main Title)” and “Long Live the King.” Listen to the tracks below!

Lakeshore Records is set to release Becoming Elizabeth — Original Series Soundtrack digitally on June 17. The score is a hybrid of electronics and strings orchestra that showcases synths, choirs, and strings to create a modern, yet familiar backdrop to the historical drama based on the young Elizabeth Tudor. Becoming Elizabeth was created and written by Anya Reiss and stars Alicia von Rittberg as Elizabeth I. The series airs all-new episodes Sundays on Starz.

“Anya’s scripts very deliberately referenced a wild palette of musical cues, which I thought indicated a desire to shake us out of any ‘period drama comfort zone,’ but also had the effect of plugging the story directly into modern-day sensibilities,” said Phillips. “Thus, I went about unearthing an instrumentation, including an array of found sounds from my home in the country as well as modern synths and instruments, string orchestra, choir, etc that helped support this. Parts of the score incorporate micro tuning and mimic animal sounds that the Tudors would have recognized. The theme tune is the central pillar of the score, which riffs on it in lots of variations, but different characters also have their own languages. We deliberately ignored any period instrumentation or compositional techniques and I think this gives the piece an energy and an immediacy that feels very contemporary.”
