Large Ensemble,Strings Bass Drum,Bass Trombone,Cymbals,Guitar,Taiko Drum,Tenor Trombone,Voice - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.905606 Composed by Ramin Djawadi. Arranged by Mareva Music (arranger Peter Rodney Hibbert). Contemporary. Score and parts. 24 pages. Peter Rodney Hibbert #4410767. Published by Peter Rodney Hibbert (A0.905606). This score is based on the soundtrack to HBO’s Game of Thrones TV mini-series, rather than on the simplified piano arrangement published by Hal Leonard. Ramin Djawadi, the Iranian-German composer of the original soundtrack said, in interview, he used a traditional Japanese tako drum in the background. The TV producers told him : No flutes. He particularly likes to use the cello in his scores and also to have unusual instruments. In my arrangement, I used the cello as the lead instrument, together with strings, a tako drum and bass brass. Also at the end is a very short solo by a Japanese shamisen, a traditional three-string guitar and a short choral background, as in the original score. The tako drum can be replaced by a bass drum; the shamisen can be replaced by an acoustic guitar; and the voices are purely optional. To enable you to listen to the full score, I’ve created a video on Vimeo, adding a new audio soundtrack of my score to the opening titles.
