Game of Thrones Theme - Orchestral Cover

After making my orchestral version of the theme, "Misty Mountains," from the movie, the Hobbit, I wanted to try my hand at yet another orchestral cover. When I heard that Game of Thrones Season 3 was going to be aired at the end of March, I decided that a cover of the theme song had to be done!

Once again, I enlisted the help of my awesome and talented friends from college to recreate the Game of Thrones theme song as a tribute to the series.

Violin 1 - Albert Chang, Lisa Lam, Shaina Brady, and Sam Du
Violin 2&3 - Clara Shelton, Blair Crossman, Paula Burkhardt, Howard Lee, and Milo Barisof
Cello* (1,2,3) - Richard Sayanagi, Audrey Dunne, Leah Loversky, Sarah Shi, and Christopher Song
Djembe - Quentin Jones

Original Music: Ramin Djawadi
Arrangement: Albert Chang
Videographer: Chloe Shih
Audio and Video Editing: Albert Chang
Hair Stylist: Shannon Burns*

*Additional Thanks to Kevin Chung and Linus Kuo for recording their cello parts (unfortunately they couldn't make the video shoot) and Anita Chiang, for making the awesome silhouettes of the House Crests.

but imagine you are going through the woods and suddenly hear this

I love how each instrument represents a different house, and because of that, each musician has looks of anger or anxiety when they look at other players.

at least one thing on earth brings races together

This is not great, neither is it outstanding. This is divine.

[TheTurkishLinguist]

The ending with the solo violin is what makes me keep coming back to this cover.

Whenever I hear this music, I want to play skyrim. That game and this TV series have so much in common, the lore, the setup (era, time), the places, the dragons. It's an amazing co-incidence. Love Game of Thrones, and love skyrim. And you guys, sleightlymusical, you are amazing. 

Oh! and you got a subscription, a like, and a favorite too.
