Question BA Boarding Music?

I landed from a Domestic flight earlier today and just heard the music. I just wondered if it was any specific song or just random compilations.

If anyone has any information I would be grateful.
TIA

I enjoy it as well, it is quite relaxing and sets the tone for a good flight, however they seldom play it these days. Here you go.

Listen to Serenade for Strings in E Major, Op.22, II. Tempo Di Valse by Antonín Dvořák on @AppleMusic.

I play it when I can on longhaul flights but we can only play it on the Thales system, the Rockwell and Panasonic systems don't allow AVOD and music at the same time.

Soothes the savage beasts/nervous passengers ... until the PA interrupts to tell you there a technical problem with the aircraft.

Wouldn't something livelier on Boarding get people to stow their bags, and SIT DOWN? And something soporific to keep them in their seats until the seat belt sign goes OFF?

On Air Asia you often board to blaring electronic dance music

whilst I love the Flower Duet (and have it on my phone to listen to occasionally), having just listened to this boarding music, I don't find it overly soothing.

it's gave me a bit of 'I'm on a plane and there's lots of people around me boarding' feeling (maybe that's a sign actually that I don't fly F enough! - one to discuss with the therapist!).

its fine until you've been on hold for an hour... then the safety video is sometimes too much to bear

I personally hate the boarding music, so am happy when they don't play it...

They were playing it on our LCY departure for PMI last Friday morning as we boarded around 06:30. I nodded off.

I do think of BA whenever i hear the flower duet and hearing it on board gives me a cozy sense of familiarity and security.
But I am sure the crew are sick and tired of it?

I still think Emirates have the best boarding/disembarking music around....Sun Palace - Rude Movements.

I have selective hearing ! I do not recall boarding music.
It's the same for any ambient music - I just don't hear it.

A teeny bit yes. We have had it for so long. I would like to hear music relevant to where we are travelling to.
