The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s music was composed by Jeremy Soule, who also composed the music for both The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind .
The complete in-game music is almost 4 hours in length.
New arrangements:
• Dragonborn is the latest version of what Todd Howard has called the Elder Scrolls Theme. It first appeared as Call of Magic (Nerevar Rising on the Special Edition) in Morrowind and then as Reign of the Septims in Oblivion. The latest version is the first to include lyrics, sung by a men’s choir in the dragon tongue. The original version and a translation appear in-game in the book Songs of Skyrim.
• The track The Jerall Mountains originally appeared in Morrowind as Rise to Reality (Silt Sunrise on the Special Edition) and in Oblivion as Through the Valleys.
• The track Wind Guide You is a remake of Minstrel’s Lament, which also appeared in Oblivion.
Awards:
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s soundtrack was nominated by the British Academy of Film & Television Arts in the Best Score in the Game Music Category, but was beaten by L.A. Noire. It was also nominated by Game Audio Network Guild for Music of the Year and Best Original Soundtrack Album, but again lost. The main theme, Dragonborn, won the Game Audio Network Guild’s Best Original Vocal (Choral) award.
