“This exciting new series gave me the opportunity to embrace the kind of sweeping melodically-driven orchestral scores that always inspired me as a kid,” says McCreary. “Writing distinct and memorable themes for each character was a joy. I can’t wait for the legions of fans around the world to hear this music and be transported away.”
