YodragonMikko Tarmia has done it again! Wouldn't be an Amnesia game without sad piano music, and I'm all for it! Keeping up with tradition, I decided to make another one of these videos showcasing my favorite piano tracks from Amnesia: The Bunker.
While these themes aren't as complex as other themes Mikko has done for previous games, I still quite like them. They really remind me of Rebirth's piano tracks too, especially with that kinda grungy cello sound heard in the End Credits theme.

A lot of these tracks are also reused in the time rift events that take place in Tyrhold Reservoir.
I really like how action-oriented pretty much all of the themes are here. They fit the flashy and chaotic nature of the timeways pretty well. Although, because every song is filled with action, it does get slightly tiring after a bit. Perhaps they could have used more ambient tracks, maybe in a similar style to the original Caverns of Time music, to help mix things up a bit. But all in all, it's not bad. I definitely enjoy the music here a lot, Glenn and Jake did a fantastic job.
I also love how much music is showing up in these .5 patches. Normally these kinds of smaller patches don't add a lot, but the ones we've gotten in Dragonflight so far have been pretty stellar in terms of music. I really hope they keep it up because it's actually been super incredible.

Here Alexstrasza and Vyranoth are just having a friendly little chat.
The music seems to be a mix of two different tracks, most of it being the "Forbidden Reach 2 A" track, and the last part being the "Sundered Flame F" track.
I don't know who edited these tracks together, but the "Forbidden Reach 2" theme was composed by Glenn Stafford and the "Sundered Flame" theme was composed by Neal Acree, so I guess there's that.Rewind and Reconcile - Cutscene Music of WoW Dragonflight: Fractures in TimeYodragon2023-07-12 | This is the music that plays during the final cutscene of the "Fractures in Time" questline added in patch 10.1.5.
Like with other cutscene tracks, I'm not sure who composed this. But, the style sounds really similar to the cinematic music tracks for Dragonflight which were composed by Neal Acree and Jake Lefkowitz. So for the time being, I'm just gonna assume this track here was composed by them too.
I love the new approach for in-game cutscenes in this expansion, especially because of all the incredible music that we're getting like right here. It's great because these are unique compositions (not reusing/remixing music) like the ones you get in the fully rendered cinematics. But unlike those cinematics, we can find these music tracks directly in the game files, meaning we don't have to wait around for the official soundtrack releases as much. It's neat!Whelp Daycare Cutscenes - Music of WoW Dragonflight: Fractures in TimeYodragon2023-07-12 | This is the music that plays during the cutscenes you get throughout the whelp daycare questline.
These tracks seem to be a remix of Russell Brower's "Dragon Soul 2" theme from Cataclysm's patch 4.3: Hour of Twilight, but with a lot more whimsy added to it. Although, I'm not really sure who remixed these tracks. Since these are cutscene music tracks, the files don't really say who composed these (they just say "Blizzard Entertainment" in the contributing artist tag). So for now, I'm just going to credit Russell since he composed the original theme these tracks are remixing.
Also, here's some more technical info. There are multiple versions of these tracks in the game files, with slight differences in volume and length. These most likely exist to accomodate the different cutscenes you get. But to make things simple, I didn't want to include all these versions since there wasn't much difference between them. So yeah, that should be it.
0:00 - Whelp Soul H 0:25 - Whelp Soul AHorizons (With Lyrics) - Music from Planet of LanaYodragon2023-07-05 | For a while, I had a really tough time finding the lyrics for this song. But the person who wrote the lyrics for this song, Siobhan Wilson, recently shared the official lyrics which was awesome!
I'm super glad to have the actual lyrics for this song finally. In the older version of this video that I made, I basically just had to guess the lyrics myself. I definitely felt that some of my guesses were off, but I just had to go with them because I couldn't think of anything better. Ah well, it's all water under the bridge now.
If you're curious about that older video with the lyrics I guessed, you can find it here: youtu.be/R6o_Tsl1xIk Just keep in mind that, yeah, the lyrics in that video are incorrect. Oops!
Anyway, I love the music for this game. Takeshi Furukawa has done an incredible job yet again. I was first introduced to his music with Sang Qi's theme from Honor of Kings, and that one has stuck with me ever since. He's definitely an amazingly talented composer, alongside Siobhan Wilson who wrote the lyrics for the two songs here. Great work all around.
***Lyrics***
I’ve crossed a thousand lands To find what I could stand And all over the whole wide world There’s still so much more to hold
Will I find my way home? I’ve crossed this map all alone Will I find my way home? I’ve opened all the horizons
We’ve crossed a thousand lands For the price we think it must be worth Farther than the farthest shining star There’s still so much more to know
Will I find my way home? I’ve crossed this map all alone Will I find my way home? I’ve opened all the horizons
We will find our way home We’ve crossed this map all over We will find our way home We’ve opened all the horizons
We will find our way home We will find our way home We will find our way home
0:00 - Horizons 4:00 - End CreditsRadio Piano - Music from Amnesia: The BunkerYodragon2023-06-15 | This is the music that plays on the radio in the soldier's quarters section of the bunker. Most likely these tracks are also composed by Mikko Tarmia, though I'm not 100% sure.
The first theme, "Radio Music", is this very melancholic piano track which really reminds me of Alexander's ending theme from the Dark Descent. Probably has a lot of the same music notes too.
The other theme, "Radio Piano Loop", is a bit more preppy than the first one. It also has different variants for when you're close or far from the radio. I decided to combine those two variants to create the "Far + Close" version.
It was actually somewhat difficult to find the files for these songs since they were technically sound files and not music files like most of the music themes. Anyway, not to get into too much technical jargon, it took some figuring out to get these files extracted but I managed it in the end.

A lot of music here is also reused from Zaralek Cavern and Fyrakk, so check those videos if you can't find a theme you're looking for.
It's always great seeing Neal Acree composing more music for WoW (that aren't cutscenes or cinematics). Last expansion he mainly did the Domination theme, and now he's done some themes for Aberrus. Admittedly, it's mostly been action-oriented tracks from him lately. Not gonna lie, I do kinda miss his older tracks from Cataclysm through Legion that were a lot more varied. But hey, the new action tracks in this raid are incredible, so I can't complain too much.
I like how a little bit of the Void Elf theme is being referenced in the "Aberrus" theme. Makes sense, considering the void's influence on Aberrus, especially in certain areas.
The "Sundered Flame" theme also brings back the Forbidden Reach theme but puts a villainous twist on it which fits nicely with Sarkareth. You can even hear those same woodwind instruments that I don't know the name of but appear in other Dragon Isles themes.

I also included the new djaradin music here too because they play in a lot of the same places.
Fyrakk's theme is rather unique compared to the other Primalist music we've gotten. I love the use of piano in it, especially when it kicks in as you're flying into Zaralek Cavern through Iridikron's Gambit.
The "Shadowflame" theme kinda reminds me of StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void, the way it starts with action and then ends on a lighter note. Although, a lot of Glenn's themes are actually composed that way surprisingly. Like whether it's Wrathion's theme, Arathi Highlands, Western Plaguelands, or Forge of Afterlives, they all kinda follow that pattern.
Also, yeah, I just wanna let you guys know that the all the song titles you see for these patch 10.1 music tracks are all made by me. Ever since Rise of Azshara, mp3 files just aren't being implemented with their titles anymore so that means I had to guess a lot of these. I wasn't exactly very creative in calling some of these themes "Djaradin" or "Volcanic" but it was easy and straight-forward so I went with it.
To be honest, I was just really hoping that they would release the soundtrack for this patch on the main WoW YouTube channel like they did with other patches. Usually those videos help to reveal what the actual titles of these tracks are, but they sure are taking their time with releasing this patch's music so I'll just have to go with what I got.

If you're wondering about the music that plays in Loamm, Aberrus, or the djaradin areas, then those will be in their own videos.
The music here is decent. The "Zaralek" themes by Glenn Stafford really remind of his other music from Korthia and Argus, it's got that sort of mysterious yet wonderful vibe to it. I also like that the "Waking Shore Volcanic" theme is being reference in Jake Lefkowitz's "Glimmerogg" themes. And David Arkenstone's themes here remind me of his music from Nazjatar and also Ardenweald slightly. Just those sorta darker, slightly mysterious ambient tracks.
Also, for the track "Mysterious H", for some reason there's a small bit of sound that plays at the end of the track. Like that isn't an error on my end, it's in the actual mp3 file. It sounds like the start of another song which was accidentally included at the end for a split second.

Mainly, it plays when you drink with Kalecgos in Dawn's Blossom and also after you say goodbye to Senegos.
You can also hear this theme pretty prominently during the beginning and end of the "Senegos's Farewell" cutscene.
I really like what Jake did with this theme. He basically took the main theme for Dragonflight and made it a lot more calm and slightly magical to fit the blue dragons. It's neat!Ebyssian Earth-Warder Theme - Music of WoW Dragonflight: Embers of NeltharionYodragon2023-05-25 | This is the music that plays in Valdrakken near the end of the "Embers of Neltharion" questline. This plays when you're at the Seat of the Aspects and Ebyssian is being anointed as the new Earth-Warder.
Sounds similar to Jake's other themes from this patch, mainly the new dragon race theme and the Last Conflict theme. A lot of action music in this patch which is really neat.
I'm glad we're getting all this unique music for these questlines. I remember that being a thing in Shadowlands so it looks like that's going to be something they're gonna be continuing for future patches which is pretty neat.Dragonriding Race 2 - Music of WoW Dragonflight: Embers of NeltharionYodragon2023-05-25 | This is the new dragonriding race theme that was added in patch 10.1, Embers of Neltharion.
Currently, there's a 50% chance of you getting the original dragon race theme or this one when you start a dragonriding race. Who knows though, maybe Jake will compose another dragon race theme in another patch? Honestly, that would be pretty neat if there were just several dragonriding themes that show up throughout Dragonflight every once in a while.
Still though, this one right here is great, definitely a lot more action-oriented than the first one. I especially love the choral chanting that shows up like halfway through the song.The Last Conflict - Cutscene Music of WoW Dragonflight: Embers of NeltharionYodragon2023-05-25 | This is the music that plays during the intro cutscene when you enter the Azure Vault to soothe Malygos and Sindragosa's essences in "The Last Conflict" scenario.
Yeah, this is a reupload. I edited together a new version of this theme that's even more complete than the original one, and that's the one you're hearing in this video. The part at 0:20 was missing in the original version, so I just edited that part in from Senegos's farewell.
Overall, the original version of this track was actually slightly shorter than the one you hear in the video. That's because the original faded away abruptly at the end, so I just did some editing magic and combined this version of the song with the one from Senagos's farewell to get a slightly longer mix. There's still a fadeout at the end there, unfortunately, but it's less abrupt so I'll take it!
I'm not sure who composed this, but I think it sounds like Jake Lefkowitz. It sounds similar to the theme that plays in the Seat of the Aspects when Ebyssian becomes the new Earth-Warder which was definitely composed by Jake.Senegoss Farewell - Cutscene Music of WoW Dragonflight: Embers of NeltharionYodragon2023-05-24 | This is the final cutscene of the blue dragonflight questline added in Embers of Neltharion.
While I'm not 100% sure who composed this, I'm pretty sure it's Jake Lefkowitz since you can hear a bit of the blue dragonflight family theme in the beginning and end of this cutscene which was definitely composed by Jake.Malygos and Sindragosas Send-off - Cutscene Music of WoW Dragonflight: Embers of NeltharionYodragon2023-05-24 | This is the music that plays during the last part of "The Last Conflict" scenario after Malygos and Sindragosa are defeated.
I'm not sure who composed this, it could be either Neal Acree or Jake Lefkowitz. The style of the song kinda sounds like Neal, but the other blue dragonflight cinematics sounded like they were Jake so I dunno! Either way though, it sounds great!Symbol of Hope - Cutscene Music of WoW Dragonflight: Embers of NeltharionYodragon2023-05-24 | This is the music for the final cutscene in the "Embers of Neltharion" questline.
This seems to be a combination of the Fyrakk's theme and the "Forbidden Reach Vault Defense" theme. Both of those themes were composed by Glenn Stafford, so no mystery as to who composed this one (although I guess someone else could have edited these themes together here but whatever, it's good enough).
Unfortunately, the second part of this cutscene doesn't have the music separated out so I couldn't include it in the video. But it sounded like it was just continuing the "Forbidden Reach Vault Defense" theme, so not too much lost there I suppose.A Legacy Reforged - Cutscene Music of WoW Dragonflight: Embers of NeltharionYodragon2023-05-24 | This is the music for the cutscene that plays in Aberrus during the "A Flame Extinguished" chapter of the "Embers of Neltharion" questline.
Again, I don't know who composed this track for sure, but I've got a feeling it's Neal Acree.
I love that the piano from the Emberthal and Ebyssian epilogue in the Forbidden Reach is back here. The cutscene music has been pretty stellar this time around, I really hope they keep it up.Aberrus Cutscenes - Music of WoW Dragonflight: Embers of NeltharionYodragon2023-05-17 | This is the music that plays during the cutscene that leads you into Aberrus, and the one that plays after you defeat Sarkareth.
Again, I don't know for sure who composed these tracks, but they sound like they're in Neal Acree's style so I'm just gonna assume that they're composed by him.
I do like that they're using original compositions for these cutscenes rather than just cobbling something together from other songs like they do with most cutscenes. Hopefully this is something they'll stick to in future patches and stuff.
0:00 - Stopping Sarkareth 1:23 - A Flame ExtinguishedRemnants of Neltharions Legacy - Cutscene Music of WoW Dragonflight: Embers of NeltharionYodragon2023-05-06 | This is the music that plays during two of the new cutscenes in patch 10.1, Embers of Neltharion. There were other cutscenes added in this patch, but they mainly reused other themes, so I didn't want to include them. These are the only two cutscenes so far that actually seem to have unique tracks composed for them. There's still more storyline to go, and more encrypted cutscene tracks in the game files, so we've got that to look forward to at least.
Unfortunately, I don't know for sure who composed these tracks since it lists "Blizzard Entertainment" as the contributing artist in the mp3 metadata for these tracks. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that it's probably Neal Acree who is the composer. These tracks sound like they're in his style, and he's the one who usually does cutscene/cinematic music, so yeah.
0:00 - The Upper Hand 1:29 - Aspects of Our LegacyReturn to the Forbidden Reach - Music of WoW: Dragonflight 10.0.7Yodragon2023-03-24 | This is the new music for the Forbidden Reach that was added in patch 10.0.7. I've noticed that these tracks mainly play in the Zskera Vaults and the Caldera of the Menders.
These tracks are pretty much remixes of the original Forbidden Reach themes but with different instruments. A violin seems to have been added to all of them, and it sounds beautiful.
Personally, I'm glad they added more music for this place since I always felt that the original themes had too few variations. Especially the "Forbidden Reach 1" theme which I loved even though it only had 2 variations.
I do wish they had added some new variations for the "Forbidden Reach Vault Defense" theme, but ah well. Can't win them all, I suppose.
Also, in the game files, there appears to be duplicate versions of these tracks. Like the 1st and 3rd tracks have alternate versions that sound almost identical, the only difference being subtle changes in volume and length. I decided not to include these duplicate versions since they were too similar to each other and I really didn't wanna bother having to label them too.

These tracks play during certain moments, like when you first arrive at the ambushed caravan, or when you and Baine assault Nokhudon Hold.
It seems like the "Saving Baine" theme from Rise of Azshara has made a return here! I always like it when composers bring back old themes like that, and it definitely makes sense to bring it back here.
It also feels like a lot of the same percussion instruments used in the "Highmountain 1" theme are here too. The original "Saving Baine" theme always sounded very orchestral, so I guess using these Highmountain percussion elements helps to make it sound more Tauren-like.

I personally don't like this as much as the second one (Emberthal and Ebyssian's epilogue), but I am glad that this is a unique composition here rather than just some previously existing songs being reused.
Unfortunately I don't really know who composed this track since it only says "Blizzard Entertainment" for the contributing artist. This song does reference some themes from the Dragonflight Legacies shorts though, which I think were done by Neal Acree. Hopefully those will get released some day alongside all the other cutscene music we've missed over the years...Emberthal and Ebyssian Epilogue - Music of WoW: Dragonflight 10.0.7Yodragon2023-03-23 | This is the music that plays during the second Forbidden Reach cutscene added in patch 10.0.7. Probably my favorite song of the new patch, I just love the somber piano/ambient vibes.
Unfortunately I don't really know who composed this track since it only says "Blizzard Entertainment" for the contributing artist. The song does reference the Forbidden Reach theme from Glenn Stafford and Catherine Nguyen though, so I guess there's that.
Usually cutscenes like these (the ones with advanced character models) are encrypted during PTR so the music tracks for these cutscenes aren't able to be heard until release day.Ohnahran Plains - Music of WoW: DragonflightYodragon2022-12-28 | This is the music that plays generally in Ohn'ahran Plains, one of the main zones of the Dragon Isles.

The argument cutscene uses the "Azure Span Tundra 1" theme even though the scene takes place in the Waking Shores. It probably just made for an easy way to have a subtle yet tense feeling that you wouldn't get with the Waking Shores themes.
Both of the ruby oathstone cutscenes use the "Life Pools Growth 1" theme. The empowerment cutscene has a lot more added to it near the end though.
The emerald oathstone cutscene uses the "Ohn'ahran Foothills" theme and seems to have a little bit of one of the centaur themes added to it.

You can actually hear some of the Storm Peaks themes being reused here, with some appearing more subtly than others. I always love it when the composers bring back classic themes like this so hopefully we'll get to hear more like this from Dragonflight in the future.

I'm kinda surprised by how different all the themes feel from each other. Like the Explorer theme is much more upbeat and joyous, while the Tundra themes are so much more melancholic and somewhat creepy.
Though I initially gravitated towards the Explorer theme when I heard this music for the first time, the other themes are starting to grow on me a lot more. I especially like the Tundra 2 theme which is an interesting mix of melancholy and some slight sinister vibes.

This is a reupload since I missed one of the songs from here, namely the "Ruby Life Pools A" track. It was listed as an ogg file (which are generally associated with sound effects, not music like mp3 files) which is why I mised it. Ah well, at least I have it now.

You'll notice that this video is pretty short and that's because I'm only including the general Waking Shores theme here. The other themes that play here (like the Ruby Life Pools themes, the Djaradin themes, the Primalist themes, and the Tuskarr themes) are included in their own videos.

A lot of these tracks really remind me of Glenn's other spooky themes, like his music from Drustvar theme or his "Islands Dark Forest" theme. I definitely like the vibes he's created here.

I was originally going to include this as a part of my Azure Span video, but I figured that it should be in its own standalone video. It has quite a different vibe from the rest of the Azure Span with how ambient and serene it is.
I'm also really glad to see Derek Duke back. That guy's been composing WoW music since classic so it's always great to see his name pop up every now and then. Some recent examples of him showing up out of nowhere would include his Korthia theme in Shadowlands: Chains of Domination or the Stormsong Valley theme in Battle for Azeroth. Although, I do wish we got to hear even more from him though, but hey, I'll take it.
Surprisingly not a lot of Nexus music from WotLK was reused in this dungeon. I did hear the "Nexus Slow Action" theme from Russell Brower during one of the boss fights, but not much else. It's a bit of a missed opportunity imo not to have remixed versions of those Nexus themes but I suppose it's better than nothing.
The music itself is alright. I do like how ambient it is which reminds me of how a lot of WoW music used to sound in older expansions. Kinda reminds me of Crystalsong Forest or Deepholm, though I do wish there was a bit more going on with the music here to make it more memorable. It's great for setting up ambience and mood but that's about it.

The first 40 seconds are from the cutscene where Wrathion and Sabellian meet for the first time and the rest is from the login screen track, "The Isles Awaken". It's the very last part of the login screen track with the shortened version of "Djaradin 2"
I really liked the action-oriented version of this theme that you would hear during that cutscene so I wanted to combine that with my favorite part from the theme.Djaradin - Music of WoW: DragonflightYodragon2022-12-18 | This is the music that plays in Djaradin-related places throughout the Waking Shores, like the Obsidian Citadel and its dungeon, Neltharus. Some of these themes also play in other volcanic areas throughout the Waking Shores like the Life-Binder Conservatory.
While these themes aren't quite as engaging as the villain themes we've gotten in the past, there are still a decent amount of tracks that I find interesting here.
I've also warmed up to quite a few of these tracks after spending so much time in the Obsidian Citadel grinding reputation for Wrathion and Sabellian. Ugh, these guys better appreciate all these stinking keys I'm giving them. And don't even get me started on all those magmotes I had to collect for the snail mount too...

The first one plays before the raid and the second one plays after Raszageth is defeated.
Also, something I noticed while trying to do the Raszageth fight, the first song actually plays when you first enter Raszageth's area which is pretty neat. The song itself is a remix of the "Take to the Skies" Dragonflight launch cinematic music by Neal Acree.
The second song is an original composition I think. I think Khadgar's theme is in there so it might be possible that Neal Acree also composed it. But yeah, no way to know for sure since these cutscene tracks only list "Blizzard Entertainment" as the artist.
And yes, I really did want to record the second cutscene myself. But all of the groups I found on group finder were terrible and no one could get past Raszageth. So I was forced to use Wowhead's video for that since they're the only ones who uploaded it. And their videos have those stupid watermarks in the corner so I had to do a not-so-subtle job at covering it up.
Ugh, at least there aren't any other raid cutscenes I have to worry about...

These mainly seem to be remixes of the Thaldraszus and Valdrakken themes from Jake Lefkowitz. The second cutscene has some clock ticking added to it though.
Also... this is unrelated to the music, but it's because of that last cutscene that I realized that gnomes only have 4 fingers... This whole time, and I had no idea. And now it slightly bothers me. But I'll do my best to ignore it!
0:00 - Bronze Oathstone Empowerment 1:29 - Chromie and Nozdormu's MomentAzmerloth - Music of World of Warcraft: Dragonflight (and other expansions technically)Yodragon2022-12-13 | These are the songs that play in Azmerloth, an alternate reality version of Azeroth that is ruled by murlocs.
Even though this zone was introduced in Dragonflight, the music is actually from other expansions. You can find out more about them below.
The N'Zothed versions of the Stormwind and Orgrimmar themes are from Battle for Azeroth's patch 8.3, Visions of N'Zoth. They would play during the horrific vision scenarios that Wrathion would send you to. These would be alternate versions of Stormwind and Orgrimmar that were taken over by the Old God, N'Zoth.
The "Ts Have It" theme is from Warlords of Draenor. This would play in the ocean areas surrounding the main continent on Draenor. There is an H and A version of this theme but those don't play here. Only the B version plays after murloc Deathwing is defeated.

4:04 - Ts Have It BRace Through Time - Music of WoW: DragonflightYodragon2022-12-12 | This is the music that plays when you race through time in the bronze dragonflight questline. This also plays in Algeth'ar Academy when you fight the final boss, Echo of Doragosa.
During the race, you go through Elywnn Forest during the Gnoll Wars, Silithus during the War of the Shifting Sands, and the Vale of Eternal Blossoms during the Pandaren Revolution. After completing the race you end up in the Black Empire where the elementals are fighting against the Old Gods.
Unfortunately, this is a really short song and it definitely does not last through the entire race event. After it finishes playing it just switches back to normal zone music. I really wish this was longer or had different versions so that the entire race scene could be more cohesive.Imbu Assault - Music of WoW: DragonflightYodragon2022-12-11 | This is the music that plays during the Imbu Assault event. Imbu is a Tuskarr village that was taken over by Primalists and is full of elementals everywhere.
After you defeat an Enraged Air Elemental that's in front of the Great Horn of Imbu, the horn becomes empowered and you can blow on it. Doing that is what causes the event to happen. Blubberwall, the chieftain of Imbu, will ride in with other Tuskarr to reclaim Imbu.
When I finished the event, I didn't really get anything of significance other than a tiny bit of Iskaara reputation. Makes me wonder if this event was planned to be much more important than it ended up being. It's also possible that it'll be more important later when you get more renown with Iskaara.
At the moment this is the only place where this song plays. It does sound cool, but I do wish it was used in a less obscure place.Terran Gregory plays the Pandaria inn theme on his kazooYodragon2022-12-09 | "Toast 2C" (also known by its filename as "mus_50_toast_b_04") was composed by Edo Guidotti in Mists of Pandaria. It mainly played in inns like the ones in the shrines, and its powerful kazoo still haunts our minds to this very day.
Even Terran could not resist the allure of the kazoo and played a bit of the theme himself! He originally posted this video to Twitter and it can be found here: twitter.com/TerranGregory/status/1600375972687384576

These mainly remix themes from Azure Span (like the Tundra or Ruins theme). The funeral scene also has the "Tuskarr 2" theme at the start of it. I also like that you can hear tiny bits of the Dragonflight main theme during the oathstone empowerment scene.
There were a couple other cutscenes from Azure Span (like when Khadgar shows up to warn about the Primalists) but I didn't like those ones that much. They just remixed the Primalist themes and for this video I wanted to mainly focus on the ones that remixed the Azure Span music.

It mainly uses the "Djaradin" and "Waking Shore Volcanic" themes from Jake Lefkowitz, but I could also hear some bits of other themes thrown in there.
It was a neat touching adding the Dragonflight main theme to the oathstone cutscene.
The meeting cutscene is also pretty neat with how it's arranged, though I'm not sure which themes are here exactly aside from the Djaradin ones.

That's right, it's me! I just knew they would bring back Nightsong for Ysera ;)
Although, I was not expecting to hear the "Night Warrior Tides" theme again. But it does indeed show up in Malfurion and Tyrande's cutscene.
Also, the music that plays in the empowerment cutscene seems to be an original composition just for that cutscene, though I think there's some bits of Nightsong in there. It makes me wonder who composed it, but unfortunately all of these cutscene tracks don't say which composers are involved. They only list "Blizzard Entertainment" in the contributing artists tag.
0:00 - Ysera Returns 0:56 - Ysera Empowerment 1:29 - Malfurion and Tyrande's GoodbyeValdrakken - Music of WoW: DragonflightYodragon2022-12-04 | This is the music that plays in Dragonflight's capital city, Valdrakken. Some of these also play in the dungeon, The Algeth'ar Academy.
Compared to previous capital cities we've gotten, I definitely think Valdrakken is a vast improvement. I love that you can see dragons flying through the sky whenever you're in the city, it makes it feel so lively.
The music is alright, I do like those occasional bits of cello or violin that show up every now and then. Just like my Primalist video, I've ordered this from greatest to least since I think the 3rd Valdrakken theme is a lot more interesting than the 1st. It feels better to start the video with that one imo.
Btw, "Valdrakken 2 A" and "Valdrakken 2 B" both play in the Alliance/Horde ships that take you to the Dragon Isles. I kinda wish they had made unique music for the ships just like they did in WotLK but hey I'll take it.

Shadowlands didn't have any unfortunately, so we haven't gotten one since BfA. Still though, it's great to hear this sorta stuff again.
The inn music plays in inns and taverns throughout the Dragon Isles, like the Roasted Ram in Valdrakken, or the Conjured Biscuit Inn in Azure Vaults.
The harp music mainly plays around NPCs that are playing a harp instrument, like Lokanna in the Roasted Ram who is playing their harp next to that decadent worgen.

I'm not knowledgeable enough on music technicalities to know whether or not the original Northrend Tuskarr themes from Derek Duke are being remixed here, but I don't think they are. These seem to be unique compositions that David Arkenstone has made, though they probably do use some of the same instruments that the original Tuskarr themes used.
Some of these Tuskarr tracks here really remind me of David's earlier WoW music, like his Stranglethorn Vale and Durotar music from Cataclysm, or his Zuldazar Jungle theme from BfA. He's definitely got a recognizable style, that's for sure.
