Jungle Cruise

One Last Cruise (From "Jungle Cruise"/Score)

The composer's first major orchestral work, composed in 1995 at the age of 25 (2 years before James Cameron's iconic film about the doomed ship), "Titanic" is a tone poem which employs extensive contemporary orchestral techniques. The work won the BMI Award for young composers, and was premiered by the Hartford Symphony Orchestra, Michael Lankester, conductor, in 1997. This was the first of the work's three recordings, made in historic Abbey Road Studio 1 under the composer's direction. (The work was subsequently recorded by the Toledo Symphony, Andrew Massey, conductor; and the Bamberg Symphony, Gabriel Feltz, conductor.) Originally released by Koch International Classics, and later remastered and reissued on the Propulsive Music label, the recording has been broadcast extensively, and the work has been performed by many orchestras.

The works of GRAMMY®-nominated composer Peter Boyer have received over 400 public performances by nearly 150 orchestras, and thousands of broadcasts on classical radio stations around the U.S. and abroad. He has conducted recordings of his music with three of the world's finest orchestras: the London Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Philharmonia Orchestra. His works have appeared on the Naxos American Classics, BSO Classics, Koch International Classics, Albany Records, FWSO Live, and Propulsive Music labels.

Conductor Keith Lockhart chose Boyer for the Boston Pops’ 125th anniversary commission honoring the legacy of John, Robert, and Ted Kennedy. The premiere of Boyer’s "Kennedy Brothers" in 2010, narrated by Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Ed Harris, was attended by members of the Kennedy family, and received extensive national media attention. The Boston Pops also performed the work on their Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular for an audience of over 750,000; gave it two separate telecasts; performed it at Tanglewood with narrator Alec Baldwin; and released its recording.

Boyer’s major work "Ellis Island: The Dream of America" has received over 160 live performances by 70 different orchestras, making it one of the most-performed American orchestral works of the last decade. His recording on the Naxos label was nominated for a GRAMMY® Award for Best Classical Contemporary Composition.

In addition to his work for the concert hall, Boyer is active in the film and television music industry. He has contributed orchestrations to more than 30 film scores by top Hollywood composers, including "Finding Dory" and "Skyfall" (composer Thomas Newman), "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2" (composer James Newton Howard), "The Amazing Spider-Man" (composer James Horner), "Jurassic World," "Inside Out," the Oscar-winning "Up," "Star Trek," "Mission: Impossible III," "John Carter," "Super 8," "Cars 2" (composer Michael Giacchino), "Dolphin Tale" (composer Mark Isham) and "Arthur Christmas" (composer Harry Gregson-Williams). Boyer has twice arranged music for the Academy Awards, and composed music for The History Channel; his music has appeared in the AETN Production Music Library, several short films, and various television programs.

In recent seasons, Boyer has served as Composer-in-Residence of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra (2010-11) and the Pasadena Symphony (2012-13). He holds the Helen M. Smith Chair in Music at Claremont Graduate University.  His latest commercial recording, featuring his Symphony No. 1 and other works with the LPO, was released worldwide by Naxos in 2014.
