[@Three-Headed-Monkey]

There's a Discworld theme?! So amazing!

[@SirQuacksalotthe1st]

Yeah if I remember it was most to capture the sound of the elder scrolls 4 oblivion opening music one of sir terry Pratchetts favorite video games

[@adityasrinivasulu]

Gives me the goosebumps every time it shows up on the audiobooks!!! GNU Pterry 💙

[@emd2837]

right? i had no idea

[@TheSkyCaptain]

The first thing I said when I saw this was "I didn't know Discworld had a theme" and then your comment was the first thing I saw 😂

[@Three-Headed-Monkey]

@@TheSkyCaptain I know right! So good.

[@Andreazor]

When I heard this to one of the new recordings my mouth fell open. It's so majestic! Magical! Full of wonder! It really puts you into the mood for the book

[@Rozilla]

I'm not afraid to admit I have replayed this track on the audiobooks many times 😅 it's truly a masterpiece!

[@h.p.hatecraft7850]

i'm about to cry. this is so beautiful.

[@christophergraham30]

I really wish they would release a soundtrack with all these fantastic themes Hannigan composed for the Discworld series.

[@CRYOKnox]

This is so wonderful i can imagine it for the Discord as much as for a Scifi Storyline. Just beautiful how it captures the feel of an epic tale unfolding in front of us like an ironed tissue.

GNU Terry Pratchett. Mind how you go

[@TimesChu]

It's a fantastic track, but I can tell from the books that there's more of it! This version has been abridged. When will we get the whole thing?

[@tomatosage5038]

no way

[@donovanmccampbell6767]

Hate to be a hater on something I love so much, Discworld and audiobooks, but as lovely as this piece is, it doesn’t make me think of Discworld in the slightest. This sounds like a grand, sweeping theme for an epic fantasy tale in the realm of Lord of the Rings or a video game like Final Fantasy. Discworld is weird and quirky and usually quite small in scale, with the occasional taste of epic. There is no humor or eccentricity to this piece, and every time I start one of the newer Discworld audio books I cringe at this overly bombastic and melodramatic intro.

[@Allegro11Maestoso]

Thank God you said it as I didn't want to be the only voice outside the choir! Beautiful piece, but that's not representative of the Discworld spirit in my mind

[@alexconn7473]

This feels a bit too epic for such a silly place as discworld

[@ikeworkman4449]

The intro music to the original audiobook recordings was perfect. A good balance of fantasy and oddity, kind of hard to describe.

[@ineptusastartes9964]

The Cosgrove Hall animations had a good into theme. This one's very good, but you're right, it lacks a certain wackyness.

[@calliballs]

I think Terry liked epic, sweeping and grandiose themes so I think this would have pleased him. The composer would have been briefed to make it this way intentionally. I'm a fan of his work and he can definitely do whimsical when he wants to, like his Harry Potter scores. You can't get much whackier than some of that. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2icipJsgpVqpZI

[@gemmadunandoras3986]

In fairness, Sir Pterry often listened to the Oblivion soundtrack, so this is nothing in comparison! 😹 But, this is a beautiful piece. GNU Sir Pterry 🐢🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️

[@calliballs]

well, I mean it's just very different in style to that I mean. The composer has done so much other work that is more in line with something like oblivion but I think the idea here was to be huge and epic
