I’ve noticed that I start perceiving the simplest things through the prism of music. And things like movies, TV series and even animated cartoons are especially closely connected with music, for music makes a good part of their image, atmosphere and influence on the viewer.
I do not watch the Game of Thrones but I started reading the book, which lets me create even brighter scenes in my imagination. However, I could not ignore the widely recognized music theme from the series that is so loved by the millions-of-fans army around the world. The ‘mass’ is not always the right but in this case I understand why the main theme is so appealing. I got myself the piano score of Game of Thrones composed by the big film-music talent Ramin Djawadi and got down to learning to play it right away. The sheet music is not as complicated as I thought it would be and turned out to be a delicious piece to master. Now that I’ve finally practiced a decent enough performing I can realize how great the composer’s work is.
It never is easy to create the sound image of some work, and especially of a work as pretentious as Game of Thrones. Moreover, it should not be only your personal perception but the reflection of the full power of a twisted and complicated creation. The best reward for the composer’s hard work is the wide acknowledgement on the side of common watchers and fans who can relate to the theme music and say “That’s exactly what Game of Thrones sounds to me!”, as well as for musicians like me who would play the melody even out of context and be increasingly aware of its music depth and creative power.
