Most of the musical arrangements heard throughout The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim are actually newer renditions of pieces used in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.
Veteran video game composer Jeremy Soule provided music for both Morrowind and Skyrim as well as the fourth Elder Scrolls installment, Oblivion. His work on the series has earned him two award nominations for Outstanding Achievement in Original Music Composition from the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences.
