It’s her theme but infused with new material really portraying that emotion that she’s going through with the loss of her dragons and Missandei and all the negativity that she’s endured. “But in Episode 5, that’s definitely when it kind of explodes and really turns dark. “We have been setting up Daenerys as a big savior and a big positive person who does everything at least she thinks is right, and a lot of her music has always been very heroic,” he said. He said this was not only a major development for her character by way of musical score, but a departure from what he was used to composing and what fans were used to hearing. When Djawadi composed Season 8, Episode 5, “The Bells,” he was making a different kind of music for Daenerys when she burned down King’s Landing in a moment of rage, disregarding Cersei’s last minute surrender. ![]() There were a lot of conversations that I had with the showrunners, a lot of talking and ideas and brainstorming, and then I sat down and wrote all this music.” “It’s interesting, in the very beginning her theme isn’t very powerful at all, it just kind of developed over time. “They told me, perhaps will grow to become more and more powerful, so we need a very powerful theme for her eventually,” he said. For example, Benioff and Weiss told Djawadi in Season 1 that the theme for Daenerys Targaryen’s music should be something that “can become very powerful later on.” He was always privy to information ahead of time and even got a heads up about certain details - however vague - that might inform his musical choices for the show. His work on the 2008 Marvel film Iron Man earned him a Grammy nomination, and he won an Emmy Award for a Season 7 Game of Thrones episode, “The Dragon and the Wolf.”īorn in Germany, Djawadi spent a lot of time in his studio with the Game of Thrones showrunners. Weiss approached Djawadi about getting involved with Game of Thrones more than eight years ago, and after watching cuts of the first two episodes, Djawadi was hooked.ĭjawadi is also responsible for scoring other TV shows and films like Westworld, Prison Break, Jack Ryan, and A Wrinkle in Time. The music is supposed to enhance the storytelling that you see onscreen, so I definitely had tears in my eyes writing all of that music.” ![]() “It was my opportunity to wrap my storytelling with music and I tried my best to just conclude the story arc with music as well. ![]() “It was very emotional for me because I knew this was the end of the show and it’s the end for me writing my last piece of music, so it was my personal farewell to the characters that I’ve come to love over the years,” Djawadi told BuzzFeed News. I wanted to implement that immediately with the opening of that piece, where you go, "Wait, is it in major or is it in minor?" And then it settles.After composing the music for every Game of Thrones episode since the show first aired in 2011, Ramin Djawadi was reluctant to get to work on scoring the final season - starting meant the beginning of the end, and he didn’t want to say goodbye to his dream job. And I always intended that to be a part of the unpredictability of the show - not knowing the backstabbing or the conspiracies, the instability about the characters and the story, and never knowing who you can trust. There's this tiny little piece at the very intro before the melody starts playing - the piece is in minor, but for a split second it switches to major, and then pulls you back to minor. In terms of direction, what David and Dan said was, “Look it’s a lot of locations, try to make it like a journey.” So I tried to create an overall thematic piece that captures the mood. I was so blown away by it that I ran back to my studio, which was actually pretty close, and just started writing. What they did was they sent me over to the title house that was creating these amazing visuals in their raw form. But the main title did not have any lyrics. ![]()
