Composer Raphaelle Thibaut Discusses Scoring "Secrets of the Whales"

In National Geographic’s Secrets of the Whales, which debuted on Disney+ this past April, viewers witness the majestic mammalian families whose sense of commitment and loyalty are very akin to our own. Composing this stunning series is Raphaelle Thibaut, whose investment in her craft comes through most beautifully in complementing the amazing visuals with an oceansong score that only enhances the experience. The score ranges from heart-pounding to soothing, and everything in between, and along the way Raphaelle showcases her facility with a range of tools and instruments to accurately convey the emotion. Raphaelle joins host Brett Nachman on Notably Disney to discuss her musical background, unexpected journey to becoming a composer, unique contributions to Secrets of the Whales, and much more.
