Could it be possible to incorporate the distinctive “bwong” sound by Hans Zimmer into a national anthem? This idea might become reality as rumors circulate that the Academy Award-winning composer is discussing the creation or reimagining of Saudi Arabia’s national anthem.
In a publication from Saudi newspaper Al Arabiya, it was revealed that Turki Al al-Sheikh, head of the General Entertainment Authority in the country, held talks with composer Zimmer about various prospective projects. One such project could involve reimagining the national anthem by employing diverse musical instruments.
The “Song of the Saudi Nation,” which is currently the Saudi Arabian anthem, was penned in 1947 by Egyptian composer Abd al-Rahman al-Khatib at the behest of the country’s first monarch, King Abdulaziz.
As reported by Al Arabiya, Al-Sheikh and Zimmer have explored the idea of a fresh, unique piece called “Arabia,” possibly accompanied by a concert. Additionally, it’s said that Zimmer is in negotiations to create the soundtrack for an upcoming Saudi film focusing on the historical Battle of Yarmuk.
Hans Zimmer, renowned for his captivating film scores that have earned him two Oscars, a BAFTA, and four Grammys, is widely recognized for his work on iconic movies such as Christopher Nolan’s Inception, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Dunkirk, and Interstellar, Ridley Scott’s Gladiator, and Denis Villeneuve’s two adaptations of Dune.
