The Outlander soundtrack’s haunting music will finally be available to buy next week. Composer Bear McCreary spoke about putting it together with Hypable.

Up until now, the only piece of the Outlander score that has been available is the show’s title track, “The Skye Boat Song.” It has been up on iTunes for the last couple of months. Now the rest of the music is being released on February 10, 2015.

Bear McCreary was thrilled to take on the job of the Outlander score. When we interviewed him and executive producer Ron Moore at Comic-Con back in July, they both revealed how McCreary jumped at the chance. Moore thought it was a long-shot asking McCreary to score the show, but as it turns out, McCreary was thrilled. McCreary had been a fan of Jacobite music since high school, and to score such a piece was a dream come true.

When we interviewed McCreary at the Outlander red carpet premiere, he talked about selecting the instruments that he used in this score. Some are predictable like the bagpipes, but others you may not have heard of.

The soundtrack includes both vocal and instrumental pieces. The vocals are lead mainly by Raya Yarbrough, who fans should be familiar with as it is her voice that is featured on the show’s mesmerizing title track. In addition to the title track, Yarbrough’s voice is featured on an equally haunting piece called “Dance of the Druids.” In the show “Dance of the Druids” underscored Claire and Frank watching the dancers at the stones under the cover of darkness on Halloween night, just before Claire fell through the stones later that day.

Thanks to Yahoo, a sample of the soundtrack can be heard below. The piece below entitled “Castle Leoch” shows how McCreary blends the traditional with the new. As he told Yahoo, “‘Castle Leoch’ marks the first time I incorporated traditional folk music directly into the narrative score. The track opens with a heartfelt rendition of ‘Loch Lomond’ and transitions to a viola da gamba playing ‘Bonny Katherine Ogie.’ [It is] arranged with a distinctly regal style to capture the feeling of Colum’s court. I felt these tunes, songs that people of this era actually knew and sang, helped ground the story authentically.”

McCreary actively blogs about his involvement with Outlander after each episode or so. In speaking about his work so far, he states, “Scoring the first eight episodes of Outlander has been an incredible experience. I am lucky enough to have seen much further ahead, and I am confident you will love the episodes coming next year. I will be back blogging about the series again in the spring.”

You can pre-order the CD via Amazon for $8.99, or digital copies will be available on iTunes for $9.99.
