The series is composed by Lorne Balfe, who reached out to get involved with the series. There are about 18 musical themes for the first season. He worked closely with showrunner Rafe Judkins to come up with a distinct sound for the series, to separate it from other fantasy series. It has a very global sound with a variety of instruments, such as a carnyx. The lyrics of the music are in the Old Tongue and narrate the scenes like an opera.
Balfe and the team will release music without initially providing lyrics, to give fans a chance to try to analyze the music. They also plan to release the instrumental versions of the music so fans can add their own vocals, and to release just the vocals so fans can make their own music to go with it.
