Dragon Age: Origins – Leliana’s Song
The bard's tail
Just a few words about the OST of the DLC Leliana’s Song. This prequel revolves around the backstory of our group's bard, Leliana, although the actual plot has been completely erased from my mental hard drive. If you've ever been in a high-fantasy cosmos, you won't be surprised by the content of the eight-track score; after all, it's about a bard. And where do you usually find bards? Right, in the tavern.
The score
Consequently, unlike the main game, the music is more 'urban' and mostly avoids its melancholy tone. We are already familiar with the theme Leliana’s Song with its harp strumming and singing from the main game. Apart from that, the remaining songs all feature the guitar as the dominant instrument. Day in a LifeInon Zur, Evening and NightInon Zur and Leliana’s DanceInon Zur could easily stem from Skyrim or other genre representatives. In SorrowInon Zur the sadder tones are struck. In the DungeonInon Zur is dramatic, while Market PlaceInon Zur as well as Street FightInon Zur bring us back to daylight. Nice if you're looking for some background music for the next pen-and-paper round.
