"Unbroken Road" shares a motif with "Reign of the Septims," first recognizable at 0:26 in "Reign of the Septims" and 0:58 of "Unbroken Road."Ĭomposer Jeremy Soule has shared his inspirations and background information about some of the tracks on the soundtrack. The piece "Wind Guide You" is a remake of "Minstrel's Lament", which also appeared in Oblivion. The track "The Jerall Mountains" originally appeared in Morrowind as "Rise to Reality" ("Silt Sunrise" in the Special Edition soundtrack) and in Oblivion as "Through the Valleys". 
The original version and a translation appear in-game in the book Songs of Skyrim. The latest version is the first to include lyrics, sung by a men's choir in the dragon tongue. It first appeared as "Call of Magic" (aka "Nerevar Rising") in Morrowind and then as "Reign of the Septims" in Oblivion.
"Dragonborn" is the latest version of what Todd Howard has called the "Elder Scrolls Theme". Recurring motifs Īlthough most of the music is new, a few motifs from Morrowind and Oblivion make a recurring appearance: The main theme, Dragonborn, won the Game Audio Network Guild's Best Original Vocal (Choral) award. It was also nominated by Game Audio Network Guild for Music of the Year and Best Original Soundtrack Album, but again lost. Skyrim's soundtrack was nominated by the British Academy of Film & Television Arts for Best Score in the Game Music Category, but was beaten by L.A. They were placed in Skyrim - Patch.bsa to make them available as a modding resource. The Special Edition added several tracks from the Oblivion soundtrack in various Creation Club offers. The new music has never been officially released. Most of the music for exploring Solstheim has been taken directly from Morrowind's soundtrack. File Nameĭragonborn adds several tracks for exploring Solstheim and Apocrypha, the latter of which are reused from Dawnguard's Volkihar ambience tracks. 
None of these tracks have ever been officially released. The song mus_eclipse, an edited variant of Seven Thousand Steps, plays when firing a Bloodcursed Elven Arrow and causing a solar eclipse. Discĭawnguard adds several more unnamed tracks as background music when exploring Castle Volkihar, the Soul Cairn, and the Forgotten Vale. Most of the shorter tracks have also been excluded. Two extended pieces of music are missing from the original soundtrack release: mus_combat_boss and mus_dungeon_cave_02. The fourth disc contains "Skyrim Atmospheres" which consists of various pieces of ambiance, sound effects, and music from the game, notably the mus_palette tracks.
The physical release is split over 4 CDs. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Original Game Soundtrack could previously be purchased from DirectSong and is still available on iTunes.
