I'm not sure why this video runs for 7 minutes yet, but i'll try fix it

This is my personal favourite track from Tomb Raider Legend

Taken from Wikipedia: Tomb Raider Legend has the longest score of the Tomb Raider series. It took nine months for the composing process for four and a half hours of music, which includes the cinematic scores as well as some tracks that were never used in the game.

Legend plays a new kind of music that changes after the actions of Lara. Most of the music is alternative. The alternative genre was already used before for the trials of each game and often in the game. Sometimes the music has small parts of electronic-like orchestra, just like Nathan McCree (and later Peter Connelly) used to compose for the Tomb Raider games, but instead of recreating the atmosphere of a real orchestra, Troels employs the use of echoes for the orchestral sounds.

Legend's title track starts off with the first few notes of Lara's original theme used in all of the games before this one, being played with slight ornamentation on a Middle-Eastern duduk. As this was the first Tomb Raider game made by Crystal Dynamics, the team was slightly oblivious to the existence of the Tomb Raider anthem. The theme is heard several times during gameplay, mostly as a background motif or in a three-note repeating motif that was used in previous Tomb Raider games. The tune and the lyrics to the main theme and other musical cues in the game are from a Gaelic folk song named Ailein duinn by Capercaillie.[citation needed]

In 2006, Troels Folmann was awarded a BAFTA in the category,[15] 'Best original Score' and the GANG award, 'Music of the Year'.

  • @TheTKDperson you are right. Ailein Duinn was most probably written by Anne Campbell. This arrangement, however, is by Torels Folmann.

  • @GeMi1358 Ailein Duinn isn't by Troel Folmann. it was written by Anne Campbell for her husband who died at sea.

  • @JeanneKate its an interpretation of Ailein Duinn by Troels Folmann. See Wikipedia for more info.
