Read More »From Final Fantasy to Super Mario, here’s the most exciting music coming from the world of gaming – along with five top picks from Irish video game composer, Eímear Noone... Video game music is one of the most exciting areas of contemporary music, with composers like Austin Wintory, Jessica Curry and Nobuo Uematsu winning fans the world over with their game soundtracks. Here are some of the very best out there, from the 1980s to today. (Plus, watch above to find out the all-time favourite games scores of Eímear Noone, video game composer and presenter of High Score on Classic FM!)

Read More »Uncharted – Greg Edmonson (2007-2017) We recommend ‘Nate’s Theme’ from this action adventure game. With a brass chorale effect and some thunderous drumming, composer Greg Edmonson brings a thoroughly cinematic dynamic to this short work. Uncharted and its various sequels have won several awards and sold upwards of 17 million copies. Halo – Martin O’Donnell (2002) The Halo franchise is one of the most popular in video games history and Martin O’Donnell’s soundtrack is suitably blockbusting as well. In fact, the original soundtrack is still the best-selling video game soundtrack of all time. Try the main theme – it’s gently choral with some serious orchestral clout (and electric guitar!). Kingdom Hearts – Yoko Shimomura (2002) The composer behind the 15th chapter of Final Fantasy, Yoko Shimomura is notable for the lightness of her music. The game itself is a role-playing adventure (a co-production between Disney and Sqauresoft) featuring a voice cast including Haley Joel Osment and Hayden Panettiere, and the music reworks melodies originating from previous Disney films, alongside original themes by Shimomura.

He also wangles in some light electronics for many of his compositions, so expect to hear something slightly different every time. Kyd also won a BAFTA for the soundtrack to Hitman 2’s sequel, Hitman: Contracts. World of Warcraft – Russell Brower and more (2004-) With new quests to embark on and new enemies to defeat, comes new cinematic music in the bumper World of Warcraft series, which boasts eight soundtrack and a host of main and contributing composers. Russell Brower appears as a main composer six times. Glenn Stafford and Neal Acree five times, and Derek Duke and Sam Cardon four times, with Eímear Noone, host of High Score on Classic FM, contributing several themes to the musical blockbuster, which also credits orchestras and musicians from around the world. Civilisation IV – Christopher Tin (2005) Christopher Tin’s theme from the strategy game Civilisation IV was the first video game soundtrack to win a Grammy award. Recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Soweto Gospel Choir, it has the same accessibility and verve of Karl Jenkins. Metal Gear Solid – Harry Gregson-Williams (2008) Harry Gregson-Williams made his name as a film and TV composer before dipping his toes in the world of video games music. Films like Enemy of the State and Shrek gave him a suitably cinematic background before he started work on the legendary Metal Gear Solid games. With electronic effects over an orchestral bed, Gregson-Williams perfectly captures the espionage feel of the game. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Jeremy Soule (2011) This swords-and-dragons epic has a suitably soaring soundtrack, provided by Jeremy Soule. For the recordings, Soule enlisted a 30-strong choir of barbarian voices singing in the game’s own invented language. It’s perhaps no surprise to learn that Soule is known as ‘the John Williams of video game soundtracks’ – this is symphonic, tuneful and exciting, and it even made the Classic FM Hall of Fame!

And it clearly works, because Hale was the 2012 recipient of the video game original music BAFTA. Journey – Austin Wintory (2012) Austin Wintory’s soundtrack to Sony’s Journey caught the world’s attention when it was shortlisted for the Grammy Award for Best Soundtrack for Visual Media, up against the scores for The Dark Knight Rises, Hugo and The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo (which ended up winning the gong). The nomination brought Wintory’s soundtrack to a whole new audience and cemented its place in the pantheon of great video game music. Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture – Jessica Curry (2015) Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture was a first-person game that was as much artwork as game. And the stunning soundtrack was written by Jessica Curry (who has presented three series of High Score on Classic FM). The story begins like this: you’re in a village in Shropshire and everyone has disappeared. The whole village is transfused with a beautiful golden light, but every living thing has gone. Monument Valley 2 – Todd Baker (2017) Unlike most of the games on this list, Monument Valley 2 is a mobile game. The concept is simple: you have to guide the characters (Ro and her child) through a series of puzzle mazes that include optical illusions and intricate moving parts. And the elegant simplicity of the design and concept are reflected in the music and sound design by Todd Baker. He said: “I wanted to create a sound aesthetic that felt gentle and spacious.” God of War – Bear McCreary (2018) Sony’s 2018 instalment of the God of War saga was one of the most anticipated releases of the year. And it proved to be one of the most acclaimed – not least because of Bear McCreary’s epic soundtrack. The atmospheric soundtrack includes contributions from an Icelandic choir, Nordic instruments like the nyckelharpa and hurdy gurdy and plenty of grumbling orchestral bass.
