Great Music for Skyrim

[jazzak25]

With mods like Personalised Music and SkyRadio, i am finding some great tracks to add to the existing tracks in Skyrim, but am wondering if people know of more great music out there.

 

Be aware i'm not talking about uploading anything or copyrighting anything, all music i have added is from my personal library and music purchased from itunes, for personal use, i'm sure this is viable as the above mentioned mods wouldn't be available if so, hopefully talking about good music is not in breach of copyright. :thumbsup:

 

If so, music from Gladiator and Braveheart are really nice, LOTR and some Witcher music even. Are there any great fantasy music scores i'm missing?

You mentionned LOTR.

Bo Hansson has made a "Lord of the Rings"

The movies and online game both have great themes, Lotro has some good tavern music, very bard like where the movies have nice exploring music. Batman Begins, Dragonheart and even stumbled across the 'LOST' soundtrack, also very cool.

I was talking about the Swedish musician

I know very little about classical music, but I seem to recall that The Planets from Gustav Holst has some majestic music that could do with some nice Skyrim landscape.

Just a thought :-)

Thanks newbie, good music, a little too jazzy for Skyrim tho, doesn't mix well with the original music. Mostly musical scores from movies and games are the best go, tried some harp and flute compilation music but it seems unpolished compared to proper scores. I Love the music in Everquest 2 but it still seems a little out of place wherever in the world i put it, so far my favorite is having 'The bridge of Khazad-dum' from LOTR play in a dragon battle, or 'Barbarian Horde' from Gladiator.

I have just listened to Barbarian Horde. You do have a point there :-)

Can you time it for a bloody battle?

 

How about Symphony No 1 The Lord of The Rings by Johan de Meij?

Or some of Lisa Gerrard work?

 

Humble suggestions from a newbie ;-)

I use the music from Oblivion side by side with the original Skyrim music. It's epic.

 

In fact, it's so epic that I made a playlist on my iphone with all the Explore and Town music from both games that I use to run in real life. It really helps me because I just pretend I'm running to my next quest.

CONAN! Basil Poledouris two Conan OSTs and Knut A Haugens music for the Conan MMO, are essential in my Skyrim.

Wow, never heard that music from Age of Conan before, it's brilliant. Thanks for that i'll start tinkering on where to put it, cheers.

Without a doubt, i should of said that i am using all of Jeremy Soule's music from the last three games, and even one or two from Arena. He hasn't done much outside Elder Scrolls unfortunately, not that i could find, Morrowind's intro is still one of my favorite pieces.
