Wrath of the Composers

Nov 17, 2008 15:29

The new music in Wrath of the Lich King isn't universally my favorite for background music (wandering piano themes work in the context of the Dragonblight, but aren't great for regular listening). That aside, the new music is pretty damn good. I've payed some special attention to the main title music (login screen). It's very well composed, filled with new themes and old that are already or are fast becoming recognizable. I've broken down the themes and labeled them (some of these I'm not very confident with for exactly what they are themes for... feel free to chime in in comments)

Themes in new intro music:

1. 0:00 - The Frozen Throne
2. 0:39 - World of Warcraft Theme (recognizable login theme, pieces from all expansions)
3. 1:30 - Northrend Singers
4. 2:12 - Arrival of the Fleet
5. 2:29 - Men of the North
6. 3:01 - Night Elves in Northrend
7. 4:08 - Blood Elves in Northrend
8. 5:27 - The Frozen Walls of Icecrown
9. 6:04 - Battle in the North
10. 6:54 - Hymn for the Heros of the Third War
11. 7:31 - A Call to Arms (Theme from Warcraft III)
12. 8:08 - The Frozen Throne Reprise
