David Poore (born 2 December 1966) is a British independent musician, who has composed and produced music for over 200 films by the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Disney, PBS, National Geographic, RTÉ and other broadcasters.
Poore studied at Wells Cathedral School in Somerset from 1974 to 1984. While there he was a choral scholar in Wells Cathedral Choir and also studied drums and piano, playing percussion in the school orchestra for the duration of his time at Wells. He then went on to study jazz, played drums in various bands, and also became a drum teacher. He then attended Newport Film School in Wales in 1987.
Following several years working as a sound designer and dubbing mixer for Bristol based TV post production company Films At 59, Poore began his composing career in 1990 with work for the BBC Natural History Unit, and was soon providing music for two of the network's main natural history series, Wildlife on One and BBC Natural World, whilst also providing music for news and current affairs documentaries for the BBC's Nature department.
He went on to provide the score for both David Attenborough's Life in Cold Blood, winner of the BAFTA Award for Best Factual Series in 2009, and Life in the Undergrowth with fellow Bristol composer Ben Salisbury, with whom he also co-wrote The Nature of Britain series presented by Alan Titchmarsh. He wrote music for Planet Earth's accompanying conservation films Planet Earth - The Future. Poore's TV scores also include the long-running BBC series Big Cat Diary and a sequence of BBC nature documentaries, Orangutan Diary, Elephant Diary, and Chimpanzee Diary with Charlotte Uhlenbroek.
