Finding out your father has died and that your younger brother has usurped your throne then having a still born birth in one day would be enough to drive anyone a little insane but it didn't. She kept her calm as best she could and tried to do what was right by everyone. But finding out your son has been murdered on dragon back while trying to make peace? Yeah, there's no hope for sane after that.
@@theo4884 added to that, she was raised by a king who is loved by the realm and known for being peaceful. It was natural for her to hold back unless provoked by these extremes
I think there is still a world of difference between sane and vengeful. She will want vengeance for sure but insane is still very far down the road IMO.
4:02 When the second note of the usually triumphant and uplifting Targaryen theme drops, or *SINKS* it has such a corrosive quality to it, it's a descent to the darkness from there. A mad cue for someone turning to the dark side, all musicians should take notes!
I love the shift in Rhaenerya's theme from hopeful, upbeat early in the season to dark and sinister in the final scene of episode 10. No one in this show is a hero
Actually so far she didn't do anything wrong lol. Sure that the guy needed to be gone was something that had to be done anyway and he didn't even want that relationship himself so basically she helped him with that. Only sad for Rheanys and Valerion, but if you look at what Otto and Alicent do to make their bloodline the king is way worse then any what Rheanyra would even have thought of so far. Rheanyra will react on the actions of the mistakes that Otto and Alicent made
The way we think we’ve found relief when Rhaenyra’s theme starts playing, only for it to become distorted and monstrous, just thrills me. Give Djawadi an Emmy
That ending. There are shades of Rhaenyra theme in there and then it start to become something else, something frightening and terrifying and I don't know what else. It's like the music is coming straight from Rhaenyra's soul, or even more, it's a literal manifestation of it. Both really.
In the books, rhaenyra gets more and more unhinged throughout the civil war. In season 2 we’ll see a darker side to her, not on a level like season 8 Daenerys through.
@@Alex-jn3cc I was listening to it and I although some moments reminded me of this track, I found them to be more different than similar. But I've seen people noting that Rhaenyra's theme (The Power of Prophecy) also have notes similar to Daenerys' music.
I absolutely LOVE the part at 1:18 with the "calling" string instrument and the deeper "repeating" sound as Aemond screams into the storm trying to find Luke - it's like a musical "where are you?!" to me
The scene where Rhaenyra goes fully mad when hearing about Arrax’s head washing onto the Dragonstone Shore never fails to give me chills, the parallel between her and Daenerys embracing their madness is phenomenal.
Rhaenyra hasn’t gone mad and there’s nothing to suggest it. Not even book Rhaenyra goes this crazy at this point in the story. It’s perfect rational to be angry over your child being murdered
The second half of this track is one of the most unsettling and depressing themes Ramin has composed! Super unnerving! The look on Rhaenyra’s face says it all! Such a powerful note to end the season off on!
@@Dan-fl7yx if you noticed, she wasn't even phased really once she realized why. It was a huge insult for his brother to never have told him about the prophecy while he *was* his heir for the throne
To me this is where the tragic tale of Rhaenyra and her children begins... despite what you feel about her, imo when it comes to her being a mother, she’s certainly tragic. I mean the war itself started with one of her children dying and before that she lost a father and a daughter and if only it stops there... idk i have so much sympathy for her especially the motherly side of her.
0:20 , man I can't wait to hear more of Aemond's theme song... It's so distinctive and sounds perfect for his character. Still in awe at how well they managed to adapt and cast Aemond from the book. Ewan Mitchell is the perfect fit!
I just noticed something. And maybe I'm wrong. But at 4:10 I can hear Ramin using the same foreboding drums he already played when Danaerys went mad. If so, what a wonderful musical continuity to signal Rhaenyra's coming rage.
2:40 is such a masterpiece, deeply unsettling, tragic and how it was incorporated into the Rhaenyra's main theme was GLORIOUS, Ramin once again outdid himself
The greatest song in the 1 season. So terrifiyng and badass in the beggining. And so sorrowful and sinister in the end. Ladies and gentelmen. The Dance of the Dragons begun 🐉
This soundtrack has become my second favorite of the HOTD album (fate of the kingdoms is still number 1) I love the dragon flying/Aemond theme used in the first half of this soundtrack. And 3:53 onwards is the best combination of grief and anger mixed together I have ever heard. No matter how many times I listen it always gives me chills.
Ending it showing Rhaenyra her fierceness and fury was a sight. From going limp when getting the news of Lucerys death to finally it settling and seeing her bubble with anger. I need a loop of the final 30 seconds, this score is heaven. Bring on Season 2.
Aemond laughing maniacally while riding Vhagar, throwing back his head amidst thunder and rain, shouting in high valyrian trying to find Luke. A flawless scene.
Nice detail: If you listen to the very first track in the soundtrack, The Heirs Of The Dragon, the last part, where Rhaenyra speaks of Jaehaerys knowing, that the only thing to tear down the house, was the house itself. Dragons vs dragons... The ominous instrumentation is only heard again in this scene, where the house begins tearing itself apart for real. My guess is, that we´ll hear variations of this going forward, every scene where dragons (beasts or people) are fighting each other.
Enough with Rhaenyra, is no one gonna acknowledge that how much the dragon chase was like a horror movie sequence? And it was so perfect, the weather, atmosphere, the acting , the CGI and most importantly the music this is the most unique and original scenes in fantasy genre that was brought to life and I can never forget it.
Everyone says that Rhaenys was the reason the war began because she could have ended it then and there with Meleys, but there is no telling what kind of war would have taken place. It was Aemond who began it. Rhaenyra was debating on putting aside her throne and allowing Aegon to rule because she believed in keeping the realm at peace and preparing for the coming fight in the North. When she found out the news of Lucerys' death and how Aemond was responsible, her decision to fight for her throne was made and that was when the true Dance started.
Even if Rhaenys had burnt them in episode 9, there still would be a war. Jaehaerys (aegons eldest son) wasn’t there, which means he has a claim to the throne. He’d certainly have a large group of supporters from the westerlands and the reach
Why can't my headphones be louder??? This piece of music is so intense that every note gives me goosebumps! Unbelievable! This is just beyond anything earthly!
3:56 eugh it just sounds so wrong but SO right, djawadi perfectly encapsulated the feeling of hatred in the score, that burning satisfaction mixed with harsh reality
It fits perfectly, you can also hear it a little bit in ep 9 after he confronts Aegon under the steps. Im sure Ramin will upgrade it even better for season 2 👍🏻.
Holy cow, what a roller coaster of emotions. Towards the end I was having goosebumps and feeling both deep sadness and rage just what Rhaenyra was feeling. A masterpiece. This is the power of music, it can make you feel intense emotions, Wow.
Ramin does a perfect job making the soundtrack but also melding themes which makes the music almost like a character in itself. You hear elements of that hopeful choir like voice at the end trying to come through but is drowned out by that terrifying war like hum. It really conveys what rhaenerya is going through. Probably changing to warrior queen.
The last half of this piece is up there, for me, with Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings with it's ability to pull emotions out of you. It's cathartic.
I like the approach of the show. The war was started not by the riders, but by the mounts. Targaryen pull their strength from the dragons and yet the war will start because of them. Ironical.
Maybe the part 0:20 until 1:50 is the new Aemond's theme? I don't know, I heard something similar when Lucerys enters Storms End's and sees Aemond there.
2:33 seeing the shot of Daemon walking in to give Rhaenyra the news of her son's death was just heartbreaking. Poor Lucerys, he didn't deserve to die like that.
04:01 reminds me of "The Iron Throne theme" from the last season of GOT I don't know why but there's connection .. I think it's 04:16 from "The Iron Throne theme"
@@outbobthelaw2248 DOSEN’t mean that she will act in the same manner on the show. We all have seen the themes of the show is a lot different from the books in the books she didn’t took part in the war actively because of her early labor with Visenya. But in the show she was seen riding the dragon on the same she had given birth. And the way her character had build up since the beginning says a lot about her being actively involved in the war on the show. I’ve no doubts about it.
To be Fair it was Vhagar who started the war. Dragons represent power and control of power is an illusion. As Viserys puts it very clearly. I can see why he never had another dragon.
Not exactly. Vhagar strictly followed Aemond orders until Arrax lost his nerves and attacked her head from the clouds against Luke's will. Luke was too young to master his dragon, and Arrax was too young too realize how disproportionate the fight was.
@virthuss It was Aemonds fault though, the dragons especially in the books are still beasts, and while they will listen to you if trained properly, they will first and foremost do what they want. You can't hype up a dog to chase a rabbit, snarling and snapping and be surprised if it bites/kills it. Just like tou can't be surprised if a prey fights back.
On a completely different note I've been driving myself nuts trying to figure out what the instrumental from 3:03 onward was but it from his soundtrack to westworld. Its amazing too. I think its I promise and its about lost too. It sounds amazing here.
Alicent son, drive by a petty revenge, made the worst possible for her entire family. Starting the war by killing rhaenyra son and the irony in all of that ? By mystake
There is a video on here by Salvation Comics which is just the scene of Rhaenrya learning of Lucerys' death. It is from the show, but no sound except the music, so you can pull it up to loop play it on TH-cam. Otherwise it is tied to the first half in other places (such as the album itself from all sources such as Spotify and so on). There is also a "slowed" version from ARE AvalonRelease.

seems like it , similar theme can also be heard when Aemond is about to ride Vhagar
in terms of INCREDIBLE endings to pieces of music by Ramin Djawadi from GoT and HoTD this and Master of War are my favourites.
And the dance begins..
0:11 Best and most intense dragon battle music so far in the show
Well we haven't even really had a battle yet. Wait for Vhagar Vs Caraxes, that'll probably be your most badass dragon battle theme of them all.
