This has to be my longest soundtrack recreation yet, about 8 hours of work went into this! I'd be really greatful if you could leave a like/comment if you enjoyed it. As for the episode, another masterclass on every level. Stay tuned for part 2!
I love how this soundtrack isn't exactly triumphant. The rhythm and drums constantly creates a very stressful beat that convey the sense of upcoming horror very very well. The swelling choir is mournful showing how Rhaenys never really expected to come out of this alive. There's no real rage, triumph, or what most would consider a sense of epic. It's stressful, tense and mournful which speaks very very loudoy of the rest of the dance. Very good soundtrack that I think lays out the theme of what the rest of the series will be: the death of a house and the extinction of its dragons
I really wanna know what the actress thinks of her character’s feelings; her expressions are so revealing but I just wanna know that she went out how she wanted to go out, not that she thought she had to
@SpookyGhostGoku she could have fled if she wanted too 100%. Meleys is the fastest dragon currently alive in the show. Guess she felt guilty about not "ending" the war sooner. Idk I have some gripes with this show adaption...but this battle was more good than bad imo.
@@onialex64 well in the very same episode we are told about “80 years of peace” right? Meyles didn’t fight the step stones conflict either. It doesn’t matter if you go by show or book lore/logic, there is no evidence of Meleys and Rhaenys entering battle before. This was a good episode, the battle was epic, and the dialogue in question was cute (although it made me laugh because it’s just untrue).
@@ChadfromChad the book does say Meleys was no stranger to battle so it does matter if you are going by the books. Also 80 years of peace does not mean there were no conflicts on a smaller scale like the one we saw at step stones
While the usual Targaryen themes give us hope and that mystical , magical feeling, and fill us with the energy to go conquer something, this masterpiece gave me the sense of utter thrill with a sense of a great impending doom. Perfect, as this is a war of complete annihilation. The Dance of the Dragons. The war of Fire and Blood.
That is exactly Ramin's arrangement. It's the inverse Daenerys Targaryen theme. Because dragons are rising to glory with her theme (now the targaryen theme) this song is the fall of the targaryens...the arrangement is genius
@@jackelinevalladares7118 I'm a book reader. Back when this series was first announced, I was over the moon with excitement. But now, I don't wanna watch more dragons get killed. Sadly, I know exactly who's gonna die and how 😢
@@jackelinevalladares7118 can't wait to see what Ramin cooks up for Vhagar vs Caraxys. Gonna have to keep some tissues handy before that episode. But I think it won't be shown in this season, no? There's so much more that happens between Meleys vs Vhagar and Caraxys vs Vhagar if I remember right.
2:52-3:08 is really where the emotions hit for me. That switch is so beautiful. The music perfectly fits the decision to make the “heroic sacrifice” to try take Vhagar out
Fantastic! The deep and mournful cello leading up to the battle. Soon as Rhaenys volunteers to meet Cole it begins. Ramin is a genius, and thank you for posting this!
Amazing work in such a very short time. Its been only 14 hours since episode was released. And soundtrack is very long. All hail the Lord Jeremy of House Brauns!!
Hahahah thank you! Yeah I got up early since the episodes air at 3am around here. Took me about 8 hours to recreate it, probably my longest one to date, my head hurts!
I love the last minute and a half-a mournful rendition of the Crown of Jahaerys (losing a beloved Team Black ally and dragon) turning into a sinister, villainous end bc Aemond prevailed
@@Tld224 caraxes died too . noone won battle above gods eye that was the whole point of the fight , for westeros to get rid of Aemond and Daemon . stop the cope with caraxes > vhagar , vhagar fought multiple battles in the dance unlike caraxes
Really well done! 3:07 was my personal favourite part. The combination of the shot of Rhaenys telling Meleys to go in for the attack again, the slow somber variation of the Targaryen Theme building up to to this beautiful part with Meleys flying back was just everything. The music really enhanced the whole scene so much ♥
@@GoldBanks60it reminded me of Daenerys charging at the scorpions upon the walls of Kings Landing in season 8 after destroying the Iron Fleet - heading straight towards the danger from below the castle above the sea and then rising up 😅 but yes, definitely a nice touch!
The Queen Who Never Was but indeed Blazing & Majestic To The Last. Furthermore, she took the Fiery Tongued Grandma of Westeros trope to a whole new level.
No idea what is going on, i watched a few episodes and fell in love with the huge dragon, his obedience, skills in hiding, to ambush even with that size goddamn! He's one impressive dragon and his rider is really awesome
Chills. This is impending sense of doom put to music and it is so immensely beautiful. This is what I felt in the days before my heart attack, and it is a phenomenon described by heart attack survivors . Having said that , I am in awe of how powerful this musical piece is.
The whole score for Rooks Rest is amazing but for me 'The Fall' followed by 'Vhagar Soars' is just absolutely incredible. The violin in 'The Fall' makes the death of Rhaenys & Meleys so impactful, just pure sadness followed by the deep and ominous powerful brass section in 'Vhagar Soars'. Brilliant music :)
This is a great job that deserves so many views! Alas, for me so far this season there is very little worthwhile music. Djawadi's assistants don't want to do a good job =)))
This season's music definitely feels more "underscore-y" than the first one (and GoT). I honestly don't mind it that much, as it compliments the story quite well to me
This sounds a lot like an Act 2 to the song that plays when the Green's leave King's landing in the previous episode, I really love the cohesion between the music and the show like this, just another layer of depth to the series to show you just how amazing the production team for this show is.
I saw these battle scenes again today and finally went back and watched GoT last two episodes. Just feels surreal. That these were the ancestors and how great they were. The Dance was really the last time the Targaryens were all powerful and then came Dany. I think for future generations, they should watch HoD first and then watch GoT.
Some thoughts on dragon tactics: I personally would start up high and dive on opponents, trying to catch them by surprise and possibly even striking out of the sun like a fighter plane. However, dragon v dragon combat hasn't happened for hundreds of years, presumably the Valyrians wrote treatises on such matters, but these books are long gone. The Blacks haven't deploy their assets carefully and are playing the consequences, but throughout westeros history dragon just equals win, so training dragons to fight as a group, flying formation cover each other's six ect has never been even considered. They are going to have to learn this lesson quickly. The only one schooled in dragon fighting tactics tactics is not a human but Vhagar. She is highly intelligent and very old, she remembers Aegon the uncrowned vs Maegor and has consistently struck at other dragons out of ambush from below like a shark or another large predator. She is already the most powerful being alive , but she uses every advantage she has to minimise risk and ensure victory.
Love it! Especially the first part of Vhaegar awaits. I hope is kind of her them when she joins battles. 😍😍😍😍 Also, it kinds of remind me of Stargate, the one with Kurt Rusell. 😁😁
I had the pleasure of seeing Ramin Djawadi live in his tour around Europe somewhere between season 6 and 7 of Game of Thrones. My only wish is to see another concert of his, House of the Dragon exclusive. Because the soundtrack for this one episode outperformed Light of the Seven for me. Chills, man. Chills throughout the whole build up and the battle. And I went in, knowing what the outcome would be.
"Stalwart man of House Targayrean, your King has joined you! Hold to your courage! Hold to your wits! Thr seven has blessed this army with strength and divine purpose! ADVANCE!" 1:15

Will this be up on spotify at all?
It will not, as I'm dedicating my Spotify page for my own original Film/Game music!
@@JeremyBraunsMusicwhen is the official soundtrack coming out? I’m just curious
August @@JC201031
So that;'s why it sounded so different! I knew something was off!
This episode is the real Dance of the Dragons. Fire made flesh "dancing" in the sky, killing each other and dropping down on humans.
The whole thing was breathtaking!
Kin clashing their flying nukes in the sky it was soul crushing 💔
R.I.P. for the best dragon Meleys
The Red Queen fought with everything she had!
@@JeremyBraunsMusic hell yeah ! ♥
@@JeremyBraunsMusicQUEEN 👑❤🐲🔥
They both died honorable death's of a warrior. Worthy of song and praise. The Black's are not ready for the void left in Rhaenys' absence.
Imo Meleys was the real ROYAL Dragon of her era 💔 👑 🐉
I love the villain music that plays when Aemond is victorious
That segment is probably my favourite, incredibly intense!
Me too
I love how this soundtrack isn't exactly triumphant. The rhythm and drums constantly creates a very stressful beat that convey the sense of upcoming horror very very well. The swelling choir is mournful showing how Rhaenys never really expected to come out of this alive.

Very good soundtrack that I think lays out the theme of what the rest of the series will be: the death of a house and the extinction of its dragons
It's definitely more suspenseful and tragic than it is triumphant. Vhagar's segments are the only triumphant pieces in this soundtrack
4:23 , Rhaenys deciding that she will rather die with Meleys than flee
The blood of the dragon runs hot, not even Rhaenys is immune to its call
I really wanna know what the actress thinks of her character’s feelings; her expressions are so revealing but I just wanna know that she went out how she wanted to go out, not that she thought she had to
To be fair, who knows if she could escape the much larger Vhagar anyways.
@SpookyGhostGoku she could have fled if she wanted too 100%. Meleys is the fastest dragon currently alive in the show. Guess she felt guilty about not "ending" the war sooner. Idk I have some gripes with this show adaption...but this battle was more good than bad imo.
A little bit from 2:52-3:08 as well. That’s when she makes the decision to turn back at 3:08
The entire thing is so sad but the description of the song playing at 3:59 being “Criston Cole faceplant” is glorious.
Hahaha you caught it! Have to admit, felt good seeing that
We're off to the battle again, old girl... 😭
Even though she never rode her into battle before 😅
@@ChadfromChadlol you obviously know nothing about their history
@@onialex64 Ok, then tell us. In witch battles she was?

Angõs, Meleys...💔🖤😣
FOR THE QUEEN WHO WILL ALWAYS BE!!
MAY THE DRAGON´S BLOOD BE FOREVER RED AND BLACK!! ❤🖤
The end part of the theme is so sad. When rhaenys and meleys look at eachother.
That hurt
3:08 this part is insane
Yeah! a mixture of victory and defeat
The best soundtrack of HOTD so far
This part represents courage despite fear and danger.
yeah I need to know the name of this track
@@mr.rip-0ff918me too
3:08, is the BEST PART! THE DEATH SCORE!
This was one of the best soundtracks I’ve heard in GOT/HOTD I instantly tried to search for it after watching the episode at 3am, Great recreation 👍
Thank you! :)
This was me for the last 18 hours until I finally found this song 🎵 it's incredible
Where is it used in GOT??
@@filmyavgeek97 did I say it was used in GOT? No
@@2trappy2 apologies bro🙏
Seeing vhagar in the sky... was absolute best till now
Yess! The sheer size!
She's an absolute legend and this was her being absolutely legendary

They shot it beautifully. The dragons attacking each other in the sky. And it affects the small folk underneath. The episode was breathtaking.
The music when Rhaenys turns around crushes my soul (I can’t stop listening to it)
Fantastic! The deep and mournful cello leading up to the battle. Soon as Rhaenys volunteers to meet Cole it begins. Ramin is a genius, and thank you for posting this!
That whole "A Song of Ice & Fire" prelude to the battle will be up tomorrow by the way!
Would love a longer version of 2:52 Rhaenys & Meleys turn back around, such an epic score
We have a longer version, this is the same music that was played when Alicent and Rhaenyra discussed about the Truth (aegon's dream) in S02E03
Once again, Ramin Djawadi does not disappoint!
Rhaenys was a true Targaryen, she died amidst fire and blood on her dragon. The most honorable death for a queen.
Too bad the show invalidates every she says by killing hundreds of small folk and not ending the war in its crib
RIP The men of Houses Darklyn, Rosby, Stokeworth and Staunton. You fought well, despite all.
Traitors all.
Unfated pawns of the false king
3:29 this sounds like something out of jaws or a horror movie, it’s wild
Yup the way the wings are shown over the trees like a shark's fin!
Vhagar Theme is crazy we will see it more i guess
What makes this so tense..... is this is one of the minor battles.
Most of the music is from different scenes in the battle of rook's rest, it is indeed pretty tense all the way through!
What are the big ones
@@tonysmith5566can’t wait for Aemond vs Daemon the most famous one
@@tonysmith5566 tumbleton, the gullet, the honeywine, the fish feed, the gods eye, the kingsroad
No it is not a minor, sorry.
Actually I thought this battle would be the 7th of the 8 episodes of the season 2
Vhagars theme is just sick
Amazing work in such a very short time. Its been only 14 hours since episode was released. And soundtrack is very long.
All hail the Lord Jeremy of House Brauns!!

@@JeremyBraunsMusic yes they air 4am here so i understand you perfectly. :) and i still trying to recover from what happened to meleys and sunfyre..
Same, we've barely seen them and they're already gone..
I love the last minute and a half-a mournful rendition of the Crown of Jahaerys (losing a beloved Team Black ally and dragon) turning into a sinister, villainous end bc Aemond prevailed
Aemond and Vhagar showing up, run, everyone just run.
Until caraxes come 😎
@@Tld224 caraxes died too . noone won battle above gods eye that was the whole point of the fight , for westeros to get rid of Aemond and Daemon . stop the cope with caraxes > vhagar , vhagar fought multiple battles in the dance unlike caraxes
RIP Rhaenys Targaryen (The Queen Who Never Was) and Meleys (The Red Queen) we shall never see their likes again.
The song of ice and fire..... literally had a goosebumps.... pleading to the creators to release it....🥵❄️
I had goosebumps as well during Rhaenyra's entire monologue!
You know the music is excellent when the goosebumps appear!
This soundtrack does justice to Rhaenys and Meleys, two real Queens!
Sir. I have watched today’s episode for more than 50 times just for the soundtrack. Thank you dear sir.
Glad you found it!
@@JeremyBraunsMusic can you please recreate the music from when rhaenys says she will see Cole!

Best soundtrack of season 2 so far 🎉🎉
Thank you for all your hard work! This is absolutely brilliant, this soundtrack has been one of the best in the whole of GoT and HotD.
1:52 is the best when vhagar takes flight
No idea what is going on, i watched a few episodes and fell in love with the huge dragon, his obedience, skills in hiding, to ambush even with that size goddamn! He's one impressive dragon and his rider is really awesome
Vhagar is a female dragon, and the last surviving of the Conquerors' dragons
3:00 OUR ONE TRUE QUEEN RHAENYS AND HER RED QUEEN MELEYS!!!
This episode was so good. Had me on the edge of my seat. The quality was top tier considering its just a show!!!
Chills. This is impending sense of doom put to music and it is so immensely beautiful. This is what I felt in the days before my heart attack, and it is a phenomenon described by heart attack survivors . Having said that , I am in awe of how powerful this musical piece is.
‘One last run for Rhaenys and Meleys’ that hit hard. Fantastic work!
I need this entire sound track engraved in my DNA
5:31 best part of the song.😢😢😢😢 Farewell my love as they see each other before dying an honorable death
I've been waiting for the upload since I woke up this morning! Killer work as always!
Glad you found it! Thank you!
Poor Sunfyre ❤
Rhaenys the queen who never fled !
Meleys and Rhaenys my two favourites both gone in same episode 💔
Ramin does it again 10/10 badass, epic, embs & flows, suspenseful
Thanks for this excellent work of adding timestamps, i love the effort :)
