Description
This is the first in a series “Filmscapes” (ie soundscape music for films that don’t yet exist).
This one, which is almost atonal, starts with the Arabian tambourine (Riqq or Riq) reminiscent of the theme sound for the Klingons in the early Star Trek films but then goes on to some winding saxophone solos and, in the quieter moments, the piece is reminiscent of the romantic flute of the music in the Caprica TV series.
However, for this video I decided on a more down-to-earth set of footage of various desert scenes (from Pixabay).

The harp and strings provide the thematic “glue” for the piece and the organ comes in occasionally to provide some different moods.
Instruments:
Organ, Flute, Piccolo, Violin, Viola, Cello, Double bass, Harp, Tenor Saxophone, Riqq
