The Music And Sound of Doctor Who

The Tenth Doctor (David Tennant)

There are a lot of people that can’t wait for the new upcoming Doctor Who series which is believed to be aired in about a month on August 25. In the first new upcoming episode it also seems like that the Daleks are gonna cause more trouble again since the title of the first new episode is revealed and called ‘Asylum of the Daleks‘.

As a great Doctor Who & Torchwood fan myself i came across a great article about ’50 years of Dr Who Music” written by Jim Paterson from Music Files (mfiles.co.uk).

In this great article he will bring you back to 1963 were it all started and talks about the various music composers involved in creating the Doctor Who Music.

The BBC National Orchestra of Wales takes a big part in all the music of both Doctor Who and Torchwood and off course many more soundtracks. For the tv shows Doctor Who and Torchwood the orchestra was mostly lead by Ben Foster as conductor of the music Murray Gold created but Foster was also the main composer of the Torchwood soundtracks together with Murray Gold.
