Game of Thrones Theme by Ramin Djawadi

We all know that every music genre has a special fan circle, people who stick to what they like and follow the recent music novelties and offers. Even though you may like a couple of genres it’s not that you would often get attracted by very contrasting genres. And of course, it’s quite rare that a music piece would leave the borders of its genre and travel throughout others.


I’ll explain better what I mean on the example of music from the popular HBO channel TV series “Game of Thrones”. Its theme was composed by Grammy-nominated Mr. Djawadi who’s also a protégé of the no less known Hans Zimmer. Ramin Djawadi wrote music to the entire series and it’s not at all his first tangibly significant music work (Djawadi wrote music for Prison Break, Batman, Pirates of the Caribbean, and others).

The theme keeps you in a certain kind of tension, just like the unpredictable and intriguing series’ plot. The work got so popular that at some point it became a cross-genre kind of thing. The consequence – numerous covers from various genres artists ( Lindsey Stirling , Roger Lima, Jason Yang, and so on and so forth). I like Game of Thrones though I’m not its ardent fan. What I like even more is the extensive quality music work behind this TV production.
