The International Cricket Council – ICC has released ‘The ICC Anthem’ as a single on all streaming platforms, a powerful new composition by acclaimed film and television composer Lorne Balfe. The anthem made its debut at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA.
Recorded at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London, the distinctive score evokes the sound of cricket, leather on willow, the roar of the crowd and every emotion of the game and will resonate and connect with fans around the world.
Composer Lorne Balfe said, “Cricket is a sport that portrays the widest possible ranges of emotions for fans – tension, awe, elation, excitement and at the other end, disappointment! It is also a spiritual game, one that brings families and cultures together and it is these emotions that inspired the creation of my music.” “I am pleased that the anthem is now a single for everyone to enjoy, everywhere.”
