Wow this is great!

I watched this cover a while ago, liked it a lot and then one day, when I wanted to hear it again I just couldn't find it anymore, it seemed I forgot even the name. I was even afraid it could be deleted.

Till I found it today. The gods are good!

[Chris Collins]

Thank the old gods and the new!

[Leonor Elizabeth Carrión]

which instruments did you use?

[Chris Collins]

Hey! I used a bunch of midi instruments. The instruments are dulcimer, harp, recorders, celtic whistle, and lute. Thanks for asking :)

[MetalicEgg]

Grat job! This is amazing! Fits perfectly into my D&D games xDDD

[Fortramnasdaq]

Needs more Crumhorn!

[Chris Collins]

No way! That's wicked cool. I have a "Hard Rock Cafe" t-shirt from Reykjavik that I found in a second-hand store. If I ever get to go to Iceland, I will walk all the way down Baldur's Gate.

fun fact, there is a street in Reykjavik (Capital of Iceland) called Baldur's Gate

That's the point. The actual GoT music is more of a Romantic-style piece, and it works. It gives the feeling of epicness. The reason why this is classified as "medieval version" is becuase the instruments used in the actual theme didn't exist in medieval times...or at least were not widely available. Hence, why medeival music is distinct in its sound because of simple instruments (stuff like lutes and wooden flutes/piccolos.)

muito legal

this sounds like what the song would be if played by westerosi musicians
