Hans Zimmer was recently asked to help rearrange Saudi Arabia's national anthem. The Oscar-winning composer has created scores for films including 'Interstellar,' 'Dune,' 'The Lion King,' 'The Dark Knight, and countless others. ⁠
⁠
“We agreed on the broad outlines of all these projects and I hope we will reach a final agreement on them,” says Turki Alalshikh, a Saudi Arabian adviser.⁠ Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of the country’s General Entertainment Authority, has been spearheading the conversations about the anthem and other projects with Zimmer.⁠
⁠
The Saudi Arabian anthem was first written by the Egyptian composer Abdul Rahman Al-Khateeb in 1947.⁠
⁠
Hans Zimmer will also be performing in Saudi Arabia for the first time ever this evening.
