Graham McCusker – is pleased to present: “His Dark Materials: Theme For Lyra (Unheard Demo)”.

The Manchester-based, Scottish composer Graham McCusker, wrote music for the recent hit BBC series ‘His Dark Materials’, and today releases an unheard track to raise money for a cancer charity during lockdown.

As its title may suggest, this previously unreleased demo was originally intended for use in the BBC’s hit adaptation of Philip Pullman’s ‘His Dark Materials’ that broadcast last Winter. Though eventually unused in the final soundtrack, McCusker has unearthed this elegant piano piece from his personal archives for fans of the fantasy series to enjoy while in lockdown.

As an added gesture in these uncertain times, McCusker will be donating all proceeds from the release to The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester.
