Hey,

I am the composer of the piece. Roger Wilkie was tasked to play the pretty wild violin part that I wrote on this (he's John WIlliam's concertmaster and, on occasions, soloist). The choir is comprised of 24 singers.

After our some of our teams came up with the concept, Ben Hibon directed the piece, alongside Riot people, and AXIS did the animation.

Thanks for watching!

I appreciate you presenting this information. A significant factor in larger works is the greater scope of collaboration between artists, and it is a shame that, on occasion, some participants are not credited.

Please let everyone know how beautiful their combined efforts are, if you would be so kind.

Hey man is there any chance we'll see the Violin music sheet around? I really loved the sound of it and would love to learn to play it. It's such a beautiful and eerie theme.

Well Ed can't because he's one of the composers; he doesn't have a hand in live balance or champion reworks unless he's concocting music for them.

I love your music team. You guys continue to amaze me. Your music gives me goosebumps and builds on the lore. Thank you for your wonderful work!

Hey Ed, this is amazing that you've got people with big names and reputations helping out for your passion project. The past many champion themes have been amazing and I can't thank the Music and Art team enough.

And we can't thank YOU enough for playing our game and interacting with us!

Dah, Ed, Conqueror of worlds making me all happy.

Thanks, A Superb Villain!

I look forward to our players' reactions when we release the login screen music!

SSShutTheDuckUpJan 11, 20162 votes

Could you please give us some information about the creators - composers, violinists, animators? That teaser is a piece of art. This guys did a great job, but who are they?

A Superb VillainJan 11, 20163 votes

It is my pleasure.

I very much anticipate the complete work. Though I am partial to melodramatics, I can say with utmost sincerity this track possesses a sublime quality; it evokes an image of adoration, an almost delirious exultation.

PeponiPoroJan 12, 20162 votes

Well worded. Your superiority is asserted with you superb variety of convoluted language!

A Superb VillainJan 12, 20164 votes

It is unbecoming to flaunt one's knowledge, and that is not my intent. I wish to expand my vocabulary, to speak eloquently, and the surest avenue of doing so is to stretch the limits of my tongue. After all, a muscle will only grow if it is exercised.

PeponiPoroJan 12, 20162 votes

I could not concur to a larger degree! Again, well spoken! Your eloquence is most assuredly presented. On a serious note, though, League's music truly is outstandingly exquisite, is it not? The larger part of my Spotify account is devoted to their scintillating pieces of art, and I just recently found their SoundCloud profile (due to this post for that matter!).

A Superb VillainJan 12, 20162 votes

Thank you.

The music created for League really is enthralling, and though not every piece is to my taste, I cannot deny the commitment invested in their development and performance. They have quite the variety.

Though it remains to be heard, I have a feeling the completed Mind of the Virtuoso will take the place of my most favored track.

PeponiPoroJan 12, 20162 votes

You are most certainly welcome, and I too believe it will be an addition to my personal soundtrack. I also agree they have a wide variety of pieces, and some of them I don't savor as I do Demacia Rising or the Snowdown themes, but I respect the composers all the more for this.

I swear you guys must love torturing us just as much as Jihn most likely loves torturing others and seeing it as pure beauty.

Can't say much more than that but it will be VERY different from Kindred's login music :)

Any reason why the Christmas login theme music isn't on soundcloud?

Well I am a geologist, so I like the word. The music...was different. Interesting.

So sad that back in the early '70es here in Italy this kind of music (and it's not an easy kind of music) was at the top of the charts, and now we have hypercompressed rap and pop...

Star GuardíanJan 11, 20164 votes

Do you guys have a database of all the scores that you can release to the public?

A Superb VillainJan 11, 20161 votes

Most, if not all, of Riot's music related projects are posted on their Soundcloud page.

Star GuardíanJan 11, 20164 votes

Sorry, I meant the actual full score. As in the conductor's sheet music with all the parts written out.

A Superb VillainJan 11, 20161 votes

That, sadly, I do not know.

Truth is, we've been thinking about a way to streamline our sheet music content release. I can't say how or when it's going to happen (simply because we don't know yet). We'd be happy to share this stuff with our players, it's just a matter of finding the right way :)

ZGM DazzlingJan 11, 20161 votes

Please do! I can find very little of your music online. (Summoners Call, and thats about it.)

The Bruam theme song was great but theres no sheet music online for that. :(

rabbiter919Jan 12, 20161 votes

Don't know what instrument you play or if you are looking for full score, but the YouTube channel hollowriku posts a lot of league music for piano, including bruams theme

TurtleXDJan 12, 20163 votes

This piece gives me shivers. It's been awhile since I've done that. As a musician/small song writer myself, I have to say, thank you Riot for making music that moves my soul, art that makes me dream, and a story that leaves me touched and amazed. I'm proud to be a part of the League community, and one day I hope to be able to create something like this myself. I'm learning various forms of engineering, music, and art just so that I can create things that move people as you have done to me. Thanks again. From me and everyone else.

Your music team continues to amaze me, the latest pieces are beyond mere musical arts. I am glad to see high expectations rightfully answered, keep up the great work everyone. A thousand praises, trully deserved.
