Music, the Ark, and a $10 Ticket Opportunity

As you walk through each deck of the Ark Encounter, you may notice music playing overhead. We hope this sends your mind to the days of Noah and helps bring the experience to life. Our music might also make you think about music that you enjoy listening to. Learn more about the Ark Encounter music and a special ticket offer for the Ark and an upcoming music festival below!

Music on the Ark

Music has been around since biblical times (the Bible first mentions it in Genesis 4:21), so Noah and his family surely enjoyed the music of their day. In fact, you can find Japheth playing the flute as his family passes time in the Living Quarters on the third deck of the Ark Encounter.

Musical Connections

Did you know that the composer who wrote most of the Ark Encounter soundtrack is John Campbell? If you’re wondering, John Campbell also wrote music for Focus on the Family’s The Chronicles of Narnia radio theater series and Adventures in Odyssey (for both radio and television), along with many other films, television shows, documentaries, radio theater and dramatic audios. Hear a sample of his music in the video below:
