His work on the Elder Scrolls series is proof of that statement. Soule can evoke such emotion - giving nods to classical composers while perfectly depicting the settings in which his music describes. His style really was different from what I had heard in games at the time, offering a strong thematic emphasis and mature orchestration. In fact, my very first encounter with his music was in Icewind Dale and shortly afterwards Total Annihilation. The Elder Scrolls series was not the first time I have heard of Jeremy Soule.
