Game of Thrones is a TV show like no other – the hit HBO series captured the hearts and minds of millions the world over, and its finale was perhaps the most talked about in television history.

Composer Ramin Djawadi began creating the music for the show in 2011, with most of the eerie, magnificent score back then being penned for a small string ensemble.

With the success of the next six seasons of the show, the music budget became bigger, allowing Djawadi to create even more emphatic pieces for large orchestras.

The original trilogy of The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, directed by Peter Jackson, are among the highest grossing film series of all time. As well as being critically acclaimed – winning a combined 17 out of the 30 Academy Awards they were nominated for.

Composed by Howard Shore, the soundtrack was music of unparalleled power and invention, and demanding of huge resources.

The soundtrack scored around 95% of the films’ length – eventually having over 12 hours of music released over various formats.

The success of the The Lord of the Rings’ soundtrack led Shore to also score Peter Jackson’s follow-up prequels to Lord of the Rings; The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, The Desolation of Smaug, and The Battle of the Five Armies.
