1992 Hans Zimmer – Millennium – Tribal Wisdom And The Modern World

Millennium: Tribal Wisdom and the Modern World is a 1992 documentary television series of ten one-hour episodes celebrating the lifeways and worldviews of small scale non-technological societies as the last of them face their inevitable accommodation with the ‘modern world’. The Western world’s desire to remake other societies into its own image robs our modern world of the gifts of other cultures. By exploring the values and different worldviews that hold many tribal societies together, the Millennium series reflects on what the modern world can learn from tribal societies as we all face the challenges of the next millennium: harmony with the natural world and one another, humility and tolerance, and a sense of belonging.

The soundtrack for Millennium: Tribal Wisdom and the Modern World was composed and produced by Academy Award winning composer Hans Zimmer and released by Narada Productions on March 31, 1992. Zimmer reconciles modern and tribal cultures by blending progressive electronic textures with sounds and rhythms of the traditional cultures of the series.
