One thing that always gets me about this trailer is how it heavily features "Invincible", a motif that follows Arthas throughout the story. 'Invincible' is the name of Arthas' childhood horse, whom he found and resurrected once he began his transformation into the Lich King. Dude is an egotistical abomination of undeath but still mourns the loss of his steed all this time later-- but now they can be together again, albeit in a twisted and tragic way much like Arthas' whole arc. "Last to retreat, even so in death/ Alas I have lost a part of myself/ Long live the King/ May he reign forever" Yeah Arthas is the King in several senses but to him, his King is his horse. The composer really gets you to feel like this isn't just a generic evil megabad, but actually a tragic part of a larger narrative. The darkness and heaviness is accented by a forlorn sadness, that he's made a massive mistake and ruined everything-- his naive passion was easy to manipulate and now he is nothing but a puppet of evil, sitting all alone on a frozen throne.

@JD-qq8fz I'd argue Invincible isn't Arthas' king, but rather his kingDOM. In the story Arthas does some horrible, awful things in what he believes is to advance his goal of saving his kingdom, much like how raising his horse in undeath, while a mockery of life, and an affront to many of the things he stood for, he believes is to deliver his horse to him, reuniting in his crusade into the culmination of becoming the Lich King.

The original version of that motif is called 'O Thanagor' which is part of 'The Ascension' cinematic from Warcraft 3, and I think the composer was Jeff Chamberlain. Recently learned that the version used at the start of 'Arthas, My Son' was originally going to be a male tenor before they changed it to a boy soprano.

The opera singer Marcomeatball did a great video on this song, "Arthas, my Son." He gives the basic idea of the story behind the song as well if you'd like to check it out. It is frequently paired with "Invincible" as a companion piece as they have similar, yet contrasting themes. Composer Neal Acree talks about being able to be involved in the whole process with creating cinematics in a gamemusic article.

The song in the trailer is called "O Thanagor", which translates into "O King". Various different motifs of this song are used throughout the entire OST for the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. It even appears in the main theme music "The Shattering" of the following expansion Cataclysm after the story of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion ends due to how much it resonated with the community. Neal Acree really hit it home with the compositions for this entire expansion pack. If I put on a random playlist of WoW soundtracks, anytime something of this era of WoW comes on it sends chills across my body and at times even a tear to my eye depending on what song is playing. So many memories tied to these songs for a lot of WoW players.

Neal Acree (the composer) has done all of World of Warcraft's opening cinematics except for the one from the original version of the game. Every single one of them is amazing and I think you will enjoy them all. However, there are a few WoW tracks I would like to recommend that aren't attached to cinematics. Canticle of Sacrifice by Russell Brower and Derek Duke. Malach, The Angel Messenger by Eimear Noone. A World Divided/Anduin's Theme by Neal Acree. While there are many other "scores to scenes" that are impressive, there is something about the emotional resonance of these three songs that really impresses me.

He does inspire his people, he has become King after his Father's days have ended.. just, not quite exactly how the narrator envisioned.

With this trailer its also very important to remember what this meant for people who also played the frozen throne in warcraft 3. This is nostalgia on the highest level. Because this trailer reminds me of finishing the campaign from the frozen throne. the campaign ended with Arthas on the icecrown throne. So the composers have included the music from years before. The boy singing was the ending of warcrft 3 the frozen throne expansion pack. I will never forgett when you finished the campaign, the evil Arthas actually wins. And we se him climb the throne, release nerzul and then join him in mind and spirit. Then the chamber explodes and we come back to the menu now showing us the chamber gone and just the throne high up in the skies with just winter and ice around. And the boy singing. So serene and peacefull, but knowing evil won in the end.

Fellow composer here, albeit not as experienced, and I really like your breakdown of what gets you going in the particular music. Agree on all accounts here. Absolute dream for every composer to work on something like that. I would add another element that I really like in this trailer music is how the melody syncopates as well, i.e. moves past the strong beat instead of landing on it. This actually nicely culminates when it finally lands on the strong beat right before he plunges the sword in the ice. That always give me goosebumps.

People can say what they want about World of Warcraft as a game, but the music and cinematic departments have always been on point! A little bit of background: The vocals you hear is a call-back of a piece called Invincible - the trusted steed of this fallen Prince. I highly recommend that piece as well, especially with translated lyrics, and then watch the 'ICC end cinematic' - the theme goes through the entire story, and it is a very emotional journey in my opinion. The lyrics translates to something like "Long live The King, may he reighn forever. May his strength never fail him, never fail him".

Now that you have heard a staple of World of Wacraft's soundtrack like this, I'd love to hear you check out a completely different side of WoW's music. This trailer is epic, but the majority of the player's experience musically is pretty ambient as the player explores the world. There is hours of if here... each video is quite repetitive so just listen to them till you're satisfied. I would recommend just giving the first one a listen, 'Elywyn Forest', it's iconic from when the game released, and then checking out one of my personal favorites, 'Exodar', to get some sense of the actual breadth of the soundtrack. Do you still take recommendations on Twitch?

Hopefully we will get more like this, but the blizzard now is most probably not the blizzard of old, though I hope. PS: You should have watched the remake!!!!!!!!!!!! The 4k remake is effing amazeballs.

I LOVE this intro cinematic. The only one that tops it for me is the one from the expansion immediately after - Cataclysm. That makes the skin on my arms and neck stand on end EVERY time.

I was introduced to wow right around when wrath came out, I made a blood elf mage, got to level 9, died to one of the robots in the starting zone area and only came back during Legion to play for real lmao. But damn, Arthas My Son still makes me sob despite never hearing it back then and only hearing it much later before I even really know how tragic Arthas' story was. Also Nightsong made me bawl my eyes out when Ysera died in Legion, and I cried in DF when she sees her daughter again! Highly recommend reacting to that one if you haven't already

I believe (I thought this was said in some interview years back) Blizzard Entertainment has some audio/video producers/composers who worked previously at Disney/Dreamworks. That might explain the tremendous quality of their cinematics.

one of the best game trailers ever) Btw, voice of the Lich King in the game itself is VERY cool sounding. Not just some voice acting, they put some work into it.

Pretty sure this was from a stream, but I’m wondering if you listened to both the trailer version and just the musical score. I’m wondering if there is a benefit to listening to one before the other. Would it be if any benefit to listening to the music without the SFX and visuals before watching the entire composition of the trailer together, or watching the complete trailer and stripping away the SFX and visuals to see if there was anything new that was overshadowed in the arrangement?

there is soooooo much you can react to, the whole wow ost is a whole treasure, i might say there is no other game that has this many legendary tracks and they're all unique ..wow ost also plays a lot with leitmotifs in different areas, over the years etc which just make you feel unbelievably nostalgic as an old player of this game ..i can highly recommend you listening to wow's ost ..you should listen to the login screen music/main themes of each expansion, wrath of the lich king is my favourite, you should listen to eversong woods ost, totems of the grizzlemaw etc etc etc

Blizzard has made some legendary trailers both in terms of cinematography and sound design. The WoW Warlords of Draenor trailer as well as the first Diablo IV trailer are definitely ones you should take a look at/listen to. Basically all their trailers are great though

Video Games Live have done a few concerts (full orchestra!) with just Warcraft music - there’s some videos on KZbin - might be good for you to do a reaction video on. The composer conducts :)
