Product Description

Avatar: The Way of Water, is the long-awaited sequel to the award-winning film from 2009. The soundtrack for the new film was written by Simon Franglen, who originally wrote 5 hours of music to cover any and all situations in the almost 3-hour movie. 

The Songcord is a beautiful song that is heard twice in the film at the beginning and at the end. A songcord is a mnemonic device used by the Navi that assists them in storytelling. In this song, Neytiri is thanking Eywa the Great Mother - for her family. 

This arrangement is scored for flute quartet - 4 C or 3 C and alto. 

An optional part of this piece is what helps create the mood, which is the part called Shimmer. In an interview, Simon Franglen said that an important part of the music is the feeling of light, and he achieved that by including shimmering sounds into his tunes. The Shimmer part can be played by hanging a few keys (house keys, car keys, etc.) that have different pitches on short lengths of string. Use a small metal or wooden object to lightly hit the keys to create little dings.  You can also use wind chimes, a little xylophone, bells, etc.  The idea is to create a magical mood without overpowering the music.  Play this part wherever there is a note in the measure. 

Duration: 3.75 minutes
