Bear McCreary - Two Funerals

McCreary spent most of his formative years in Bellingham, Washington. He is the son of author Laura Kalpakian. He studied under the renowned film score composer Elmer Bernstein at the USC Thornton School of Music, during which time he reconstructed and re-orchestrated Bernstein's 1963 score for Kings of the Sun. Their collaboration allowed for the complete score to be available as a soundtrack album for the first time in forty years.[1]
From 1998 until 2005, McCreary built up a significant body of work scoring short films, including Jon Chu's musical When the Kids Are Away. McCreary is a trained pianist and a self-taught accordionist, and plays in the avant-jazz band 17 Billion Miles of DNA.[2]
McCreary is engaged to singer and songwriter Raya Yarbrough, with whom he worked on the music of Battlestar Galactica.

I absolutely love when 2:37 comes in. Such an amazingly brilliant, powerful and emotional score. Without it BSG would have been at a loss. Listening to this makes me want to watch the series again.
