I made an Outlander soundtrack suite as a tribute to the show coming to an end
No matter what you might think of the finale or the final season overall, one thing that cannot be denied is the quality of McCreary's music from start to finish. It's a huge part of the show, and it really elevates many of the scenes with his emotional writing.
He has done many leitmotifs for characters and places through the 8 seasons, and I love how they have been developed. I also really like how some of these are derived from popular folk tunes or classical pieces like the Skye Boat Song or Moch Sa Mhadainn.
I've made this video as my own way of paying homage to the show and the characters which have been with us for more than 10 years. I've also done a leitmotif catalogue detailing all these themes and their use through the show in case anyone wants to take a deeper look into McCreary's music.
I hope you all enjoy it. Slàinthe Mhath!
