What would game of Thrones<\/em> be without its theme song? Composed by Ramin Djawadi, the song has become so indelible you could play it on almost anything and the vibe is still there. Djawadi was told to avoid flutes, pianos, and violins (since they have been featured so often in fantasy themes), and so instead he made an absolute banger out of cellos playing a minor key, making an animated map feel totally epic and surprisingly versatile . <\/p>\n

So it makes sense that House of the Dragon<\/em> would not reinvent the wheel there with their own title sequence. While co-creators Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik said they wanted to avoid a title sequence in the pilot, episode 2 marks the debut of the official House of the Dragon<\/em> <\/em>opening sequence. <\/p>\n

The title sequence brings back Game of Thrones’<\/em> original theme, but changes up the visuals to match the series’ focus on House Targaryen. Meanwhile, the visuals of the new title sequence take viewers in a soaring view of the show’s characters, represented by various trinkets and symbols, using the same cogs and gears that turned the Westeros map for the opening sequence of the original show. Meanwhile, as the camera pans across all of these symbols, a bright red stream of blood runs down the walls of a castle eventually covering each one. <\/p>\n

Djawadi is back at it again with the cellos, something he told Entertainment Weekly he saw as the \u201cbig sound of game of Thrones<\/em>\u201d Beyond that Djawadi says he focused on pulling the themes he thought were most useful from the original show in developing a new sound for House of the Dragon<\/em>. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is all about the Targaryens, so the big thing was to keep their sound and their themes,\u201d Djawadi told EW. \u201cDefinitely the sound that Daenerys had is tied to the Targaryens. The sound is the same. However, I think it’s important to point out that, actually, Daenerys has a separate theme than the Dragon<\/em> theme. So, they’re the two separate themes, but sonically, they’re similar.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
