Outlander - Volume 1

This album features original music composed by Emmy Award-Winner Bear McCreary (EVERLY, THE WALKING DEAD, DA VINCI’S DEMONS) along with period-accurate songs adapted by McCreary for the television series, including the main title theme, ‘The Skye Boat Song’, performed by Raya Yarbrough.

The OUTLANDER series follows the story of Claire Randall, a married combat nurse from 1945 who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743, where she is immediately thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened. When she is forced to marry Jamie, a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate affair is ignited that tears Claire’s heart between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives. Adapted from Diana Gabaldon’s international best-selling books, the OUTLANDER series spans the genres of romance, science fiction, history and adventure into one epic tale.

McCreary was ecstatic about the chance to head to the Highlands for musical inspiration. “From the beginning, I wanted to draw predominantly from Scottish instrumentation and folk music” he explains. “Instruments such as the fiddle, bagpipes, accordion, penny whistle and bodhrán (a type of frame drum) form the backbone of the score, supported by orchestral strings, haunting vocals and larger percussion. “OUTLANDER has given me the opportunity to write the kind of score I have been dreaming about for my entire life” says McCreary. “We’re just getting started; more drama and music await!”

About Bear McCreary:
McCreary’s out-of-the-box thinking led WIRED Magazine to call him a “Secret Weapon” in a recent issue. His unique combination of an atypical instrumental background (he is a professional accordionist) and a rigorous classical training have prepared him to compose for disparate genres. By the age of 24, McCreary was launched into pop culture history with his groundbreaking score to the hit series BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, for which he composed “the most innovative music on TV today” (Variety). It “fits the action so perfectly, it’s almost devastating: a sci-fi score like no other” (NPR). In addition to earning his first Emmy Award in 2013, McCreary was voted “Composers’ Choice Composer Of The Year – Television” for 2013 by his peers in ASCAP, the first award of its kind.
