== ''[[The Elder Scrolls: Arena (Video Game)|Arena]]'' and ''[[The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall (Video Game)|Daggerfall]]'' ==
* Eric Heberling did the music for the first two installments, ''Arena'' and ''Daggerfall''. There's a reason there are dozens of music modifications for Morrowind and/or Oblivion floating around that replace Soule's works with arranged versions of the tunes from those older in the series, and it's not just nostalgia.
* ''Arena'' has a few great tunes: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmN4lY6WfZw&fmt=18 "Track 17"] ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxSCj39Qugs&fmt=18 Track 16] is a variant) or [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgL45BbHieM&fmt=18 "Track 14B"].
* Take a listen to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CqpCpOo36Q Track 21]. Phenomenal composition.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20110810120027/http://www.techartist.co.uk/daggerfall-music Check this out], an index of all specially remixed/arranged Daggefall compositions. The ones by Dan Goodale are truly epic.
* The recurring 'Elder Scrolls' theme mentioned in the Morrowind/Oblivion category? Contrary to what Morrowind's YMMV page may lead one to think, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9SGBrgFDl0 it began with Daggerfall's GSNOW_B].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wLryo9qAKI&feature=related The theme for the Daggerfall demo] and this incredible [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ7FWhbwddU&list=FLQ9hG-Blb0rF2JMMVh3kHYA&index=5&feature=plpp_video remix from Dagger XL].
 
== ''[[The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (Video Game)|Morrowind]]'' and ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Video Game)|Oblivion]]'' ==
* ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'' theme. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWuNf4gxwuM The Morrowind version], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3EOibiVzq4 the Oblivion version] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9YBKCFqgL8 the orchestrated Oblivion version done by Play! A Videogame Symphony].
** Bonus points to the ''Morrowind'' theme for having the heartbeat background rythm, that [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|symbolizes]] the Heart of Lorkhan, the literal center of Vvardenfell where the game is set.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUlhcQV_zWo Glory of Cyrodiil].
 
== ''[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Video Game)|Skyrim]]'' ==
* You would think that the trailer for the new Elder Scrolls game would have less awesome music on account of it being a teaser trailer. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0fQWkk9Z6s You would be wrong.]
** A new arrangement of the theme has been made for Skyrim, complete with a Nordic choir chanting in Draconic. The music got even more awesome. [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/01/14/the-sounds-of-skyrim.aspx Skyrim Version] (skip to 2:45 on Video 4).

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPOgjxnwv7M&feature=related Secunda], one of the best ambient pieces in the soundtrack.
