This mod adds lore friendly professionally produced music tracks to your skyrim playlists.
The mod tries to stay true to the original game composer's (Jeremy Soule) style to provide you with beautifully and seamlessly integrated new music to your skyrim experience.
All music has been written by Nir Shor and all rights reserved.
V1. 2 Adds a Dragon fighting music + Finale for the track in case that you kill the dragon before the track ends, the dragon fighting music is one of the only few areas in the game i wanted to improve and not just imitate, it still stays true to soules' style by using only orchestra and extensive use of choirs but is much more fast paced and well . . "Epic".
The track was added to several playlists that included "Boss" music including the Civil War playlist, so now you can enjoy the epicness in the civil war battles.
Next track you can expect some awesome Day Explore music, Thanks for reading!

For Skyrim players who want to freshen up the soundtrack without breaking immersion.

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has a separate version or needs to be converted — the 2016 date suggests it was made for the original Skyrim.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage the mod, making it easy to remove if you don't like it.
- Make sure to enable the mod in your load order and let it overwrite the vanilla music files — if you have other music mods, decide which one takes priority.
