Stunning ‘Rings of Power’ Season 2 Soundtrack Gets Huge, Important Release

There was a lot to like about Amazon’s second season Lord of the Rings prequel, Rings of Powerlast year, but one of the highlights was Bear McCreary’s hard work developing his own sound for Middle Earth in the series’ soundtrack. Now you can prepare to enjoy it all without having to rewatch every episode and enjoy it in style.

io9 gives you a first look at the sophisticated physical version of McCreary’s Rings of Power season two. Born from a deal between McCreary’s own independent label, Sparks & Shadows Records, and the arts company Mutant (which helped McCreary release his rock concept album The singularity last year), Mutant will release a large 10-disc physical collection. Eight of these discs will be devoted to individual orchestral recordings for the episodic scores for each episode of the season, while the final two will encompass the broader soundtrack of Rings of Power season two.

In addition to this, there is The journey of a composera 130-page booklet written by McCreary that explores, episode by episode, how the composer approached composing the second season, delving into his creative process, from initial ideas to composition and then production of the final package.
