Avatar: The Way of Water, is the long-awaited sequel to the award-winning film from 2009. Â The soundtrack for the new film was written by Simon Franglen, who originally wrote 5 hours of music to cover any and all situations in the almost 3-hour movie. Â
From Darkness to Light is a beautiful instrumental piece in the movie that shows off the beauty of the water. Â On paper, the music seems a little too simple, but the chord progressions together with the moving parts make for quite a beautiful and memorable piece. Â
This arrangement is scored for string orchestra - 3 violins, 2 violas, 2 cellos and double bass.
One of the most important parts of this piece is what helps create the mood, which is where the part called “Shimmer†comes in.  In an interview, Simon Franglen said that an important part of the music is the feeling of light, and he achieved that by including shimmering sounds into his tunes.  The Shimmer part could be played by wind chimes.  Franglen mentioned that they used keys hanging from strings (car keys, house keys, etc) to create this effect among other creative objects-turned-instruments.
Duration: 3.75 minutes.
