The original score for the upcoming Ken Burns documentary Leonardo da Vinci features 28 new compositions by  Caroline Shaw. The album features performances by the composer’s longtime collaborators Attacca Quartet, Sō Percussion, and Roomful of Teeth as well as double bass player John Patitucci. David McMahon, one of the documentary’s directors, says “Caroline’s existing body of music—joyful, daring, at times transcendent, and wholly unique—seemed to speak directly to Leonardo, a seeking soul who, 500 years after his death, can come across as strikingly modern. The music Caroline created [for Leonardo] is dynamic, enthralling and filled with wonder.”
