From Arena to Skyrim - All Elder Scrolls themes (Piano cover) 

The Eternal Champion. The Hero of Daggerfall. The Nerevarine. The Champion of Cyrodil. The Dovahkiin. And many more to come.

It wasn't until I heard the arena theme from this I realized.... A kid in my school talent show played this.

Jeremy Soule did an amazing job reusing the same theme for Morrowing, Oblivion, and Skyrim but changing it to fit the tone of the game/the environment. Such a talented composer.

00:00 when misrule takes its place in the eight corners of the world 00:31 when the brass tower walks and time is reshaped 01:22 when the thrice-blessed fail and the red tower trembles 02:28 when the dragonborn ruler loses his throne, and the white tower falls 03:09 when the snow tower lies sundered, kingless, bleeding. The world eater wakes, and the wheel turns upon the last dragonborn.

At the start of Morrowind there is a thumping sound, it isn't a drum it's Lorkhan's heart!

Has anyone noticed the description? "Played by ear." HOLY FUCK

You fucking sir deserve every single award this Earth has ever seen.

I love hearing how Jeremy Soule wove the same theme through the Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim themes, and then hearing all of them right after the other. Especially with Arena and Daggerfall right there, too. God, I love this video game series

Nothing makes a man cry like nostalgia ;-;

I can't believe skyrim came out 4 years ago, it feels like it came out yesterday

If they're not getting Jeremy Soule back for the TES VI soundtrack, they should totally see if Heberling wants to do another one. The Daggerfall and Arena soundtracks are criminally underrated!

I am at a lost for words. I am completely head over heels for this game blend. I honestly got so many chills and shivers from listening to this. I ear train as well but I would definitely pay good money to learn this. Would you consider making a tutorial or writing down all the notes/chords etc? I really want to learn this. Please get back to me. Raelyn

why am I crying?

That moment when you realize TES is older than Pokemon.

So much conflict in the comments section. Can't we just agree that all the elder scrolls games were awesome?

TES 6 was announced!

_What do you mean "played by ear"?!?_ :O good god I'm glad it's not possible to die from awe.

It's like all the themes are connected.

The Arena and Daggerfall soundtracks are so underrated!

I find Skyrim great, the graphics were immaculate and the cities memorable. However, it didn't have that incredible feel that oblivion has. The first time you emerged from that dark sewer and were plunged into that magical world. Skyrim was dark and snowy, Oblivion was bright, magical and incredible. Walking into the imperial city, Hearing that theme tune, exploring the wilderness. Oh yes, take me to Oblivion again.

Long live the Elder Scrolls, immune to time, and forever in our hearts!

Anybody else think the Arena and Daggerfell themes sound like a prologue to the Morrowwind, Oblivion, and Skyrim themes?

So... Attack of The Clones just stole from Daggerfall...

Skyrim just sounds like a fusion of Morrowind and Oblivion o: Love the Morrowind theme though

One of the reasons i love Oblivion the most isn the fact that the PC is a nobody. Not a chosen one, not a high-standing individual, just an average joe. That's why in see him as the greatest of the heroes. (Also he is literally the most powerful what with the whole Sheogorath situation)

1:34 Chills. Every Single Time I love how Morrowind's theme was so iconic it became the main theme for the whole series, kind of like how Ezio's Family from AC2 became the main theme for that franchise

The daggerfall theme sends chills down my spine when I hear it on piano, somehow it is just 10 times better on piano, can you make a "standalone" for its theme?

I cried. Literally. Still crying.

I like the Skyrim theme way more when it's made of piano than shouting Nords.

Oblivion is my favorite hands down. Something about it.

2:55... that right gave me the most goosebumps i've ever felt in my life. THE FEELS!

While everyone is talking about The Eternal Champion, The Hero of Daggerfall, The Nerevarine, The Champion of Cyrodil, The Dovahkiin. But dont forget The Vestige (ESO) The Apprentice (Battle spire) Master tunnel rat (TES Travels Stormhold) Cyrus (TES Adventure Redguard) Hero of Dawnstar (TES Travels Dawnstar) Soul of Conflict (TES Travels Shadowkey) The Warrior (TES Blades) The Forgotten Hero (TES Legends) Talym Rend (TES Legends Isle of madness) They are all heros in TES although some are only mortal and forgotten but I hope everyone remembers them because they are all heros.

0:58 - 1:03 any Star Wars fans hear what I'm hearing?

Did anyone else get chills at not only this being the entire Elder Scrolls title themes, but at how good this guy played them?

"Jeremy Soule comes up with the iconic melodic loop for Morrowind" Bethesda: Aight thx this is our theme now forever

I got chills from all the theme tunes. I love all of the games, I personally don't have a favorite because each is a work of art in its own way.

Talos the mighty! Talos the unerring! Talos the unassailable! To you we give praise! We are but maggots, writhing in the filth of our own corruption! While you have ascended from the dung of mortality, and now walk among the stars! But you were once man! Aye! And as man, you said, 'Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter.' 'I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you. Aye, love. Love! Even as man, great Talos cherished us. For he saw in us, in each of us, the future of Skyrim! The future of Tamriel! And there it is, friends! The ugly truth! We are the children of man! Talos is the true god of man! Ascended from flesh, to rule the realm of spirit! The very idea is inconceivable to our Elven overlords! Sharing the heavens with us? With man? Ha! They can barely tolerate our presence on earth! Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? What then? Do the elves take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives? And what does the Empire do? Nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! The Imperial machine enforces the will of the Thalmor! Against its own people! So rise up! Rise up, children of the Empire! Rise up, Stormcloaks! Embrace the word of mighty Talos, he who is both man and Divine! For we are the children of man! And we shall inherit the heavens and earth! And we, not the Elves or their toadies, will rule Skyrim! Forever!

I swear I smiled through this whole video. The Elder Scrolls has always been my favorite game series, and hearing the different themes played into one beautiful piano piece.... It's absolutely epic. Awesome job!

it's 2024 and this is still magnificent, I remember the first time I watched this and I really enjoy it, never gets old

12 Years later, still listening. I just saw I never liked the video but iI listened to it like 200 times with the years... Thanks again

When the Morrowind song starts!!! I STARTED SMILING LIKE AN IDIOT!! Love Morrowind for ever!!!

Hard to believe it was 10 years ago, I’m nearing the end of college now. I remember vividly revisiting this video constantly in anticipation for Skyrim. Here’s to hoping you return when TES6 properly comes out.

I LOVE the Elder Scrolls, but Skyrim will always be near and dear to me, mainly because it was the first Elder Scroll game I've ever played (not an old player, played Skyrim first, Oblivion second, and Morrowind last) But there is one thing that I LOVE equally about all 3 games and that is the music (especially the main themes) it takes my breath away every time!

9 years ago this masterpiece was uploaded on youtube. Every year atleast once I come back to it. Thank you!

For my friend Sarah 0:02 our time spent together during our freshman year 0:31 our time spent together during our senior year 1:23 years of not seeing or talking to eachother 1:33 seeing eachother again at whataburger after so many years 3:10 a stronger friendship then we've ever had before with better memories to 4:01 however this story ends whether it be good or weather it be bad I will carry with me some of the greatest memories I've ever had

Morrowind is the best in my opnion

It all just sounds like one song, I wonder if Bethesda did this on purpose

i remember watching this when Skyrim first came out. Still a great work of art

If only I could go back and tell my 2012 self watching this video for the first time that there won’t be another Elder Scrolls game for at least 10 years

I think I prefer the daggerfall song even though I've never played the game myself.

Came across this video, I still remember watching it when I was in College a decade back. Still a great video

I come back usually about twice a year to hear this music, it gives me chills. I have been playing this game since dagger fall and I'll never forget it.

Still a masterpiece to this day

If there was a movie for Elder Scrolls, this whole song of the 5 themes would be the credits music.

You, sir or madam, have made a grown man cry. Such a beautiful arrangement!

Man, this thing is just so beautiful. The way the Arena theme starts, so sorrowful yet bright and hopeful. The way the Daggerfall theme follows, so bold and grand, contrasting the previous one. The way the Morrowind theme picks up after that, as if a throwback to Arena with its sad motif, and the way it then progresses into a much more uplifting and powerful piece until the Oblivion theme comes in like a fist through a wall, smashing the calmness of the Call of Magic and setting its larger-than-life mood, until slowly recessing and allowing the softer tunes to the forefront again. And then finally, the Skyrim theme breaks through with its splendor, before finally retreating with a repeating bass line into silence. This is perfection.

I am crying because of Morrowind is sooooo beautiful!!

The best part is, Skyrim wasn't even out when this video was made.

I love how all these pieces just flow together

okay, this is by far the best piano covers of the elder scrolls themes I have ever heard

Arena: happy adventure time. Daggerfall: Edgy tragedy. Morrowind: Go explore. Oblivion: Go on epic quest. Skyrim: be angry at everyone and everything while being manly in a macho way.

i like the occasional nostalgia shots in the background

anyone else cry a little at the ending? such a powerful performance and what a deluge of memories to bear! this series...what a beautiful reason to love life.

Oblivion will always be my favourite I think. It was my first Elder Scrolls game, and nothing will ever beat that unreal level of freedom I felt when I completed the tutorial. The mountains in the background weren't decoration like I was used to in most games, they were a place to explore.

Flawless victory

I don´t know why, but I strongly feel like I have heard Daggerfall´s theme somewhere else, in a movie or the like...

man i remember watching this video back in my early skyrim days and i still remember it so vividly. it's always nice to rewatch this cover

Piano cover of Daggerfall make me cry, best intro of an ES ever

I wait for the day when we are able to experience all of the countries of tamerial in one game and they are not split apart by loading screens, no a living breathing world where we can feel like we are in, where we can see the cultures of the kajhitt then go see the nords. I long to see this even if it means becoming the lord of my realm just to live forever because when that elder scrolls game comes out we will truly reach the limits of what is a normal open world game and then tear it apart with this new bigger and better world. That is manifest destiny.

116 Cliff Racers Disliked this.

The music goes so well with the atmospheres..

I've played arena, daggerfall, morrowind and oblivion to death but never touch skyrim yet on my ps4. This music gives shivers down my spine. Good lord, I'm crying again. Beautiful music.

This video came out before skyrim

Can't stop listening to this!:)

Listening to this blend of music from Arena- Skyrim gives me so many chills of how well the each piece of music comes together. Absolutely beautiful.

Usually Skyrim is my favourite theme, but the way you played Morrowind gave me goosebumps. Seriously, it felt more nastalgic than the official one!

They should take all the games, and put them in one. Like what 343 did with the master chief collection.

Stirring and extraordinary performance!

Love the way you meld Morrowind to Oblivion, and Oblivion to Skyrim. Well done!

i teared up ive played all the games and hearing them mixed with pictures brought back so many memories thankyou thankyou

I am a sucker for the Daggerfall theme tbh

The Elder Scroll 6 Teaser Coming Out Guys

Do some people come to just dislike this? If you can't like this video then there is no reason to dislike it.

Wish I could like this again. Still gets me going every time I listen to it.

Why walk when you can ride?

Oblivion is more of a knight/pirate feel.

9 years later and this still isn't outdated

This is probably the most beautiful medly i have seen in years

Morrowind was by far the most beautiful to me

Size: Arena>Daggerfall>Skyrim>Oblivion>Morrowind Variety: Morrowind>Daggerfall>Arena>Skyrim>Oblivion Story: Morrowind>Skyrim>Oblivion>Daggerfall>Arena Combat: Skyrim>Oblivion>Dagger fall>Morrowind> Arena

Over 9 years later and i still come back to listen to this. Thank you.

I have a collection of midi files on my storage, this being one of them and not seen at all until now surprises me

Elder scrolls series is a fantastic series.... Played them all!! I even got into the closed ESO beta... On a grand scale of 1 - 10... 1 being shit, and 10 being god's gift to humanity... i'd give the Elder Scrolls series a 1/10. Totally recommend every game in the series.. Best series ive ever had the pleasure to be a part of..

LONG LIVE THE ELDER SCROLLS!!!!!!

My heart stopped. And then it started again. Thank you. That was utterly beautiful.

I used to watch and listen to this when I was lil. Literally multiple times a day for probably a year

Morrowind > Daggerfall > Skyrim > Oblivion > Arena - Music Oblivion > Morrowind > Daggerfall > Arena > Skyrim -Game

Ugh, I love the music but seriously I hate looking at the comments because everyone just wants to argue about the best elder scroll game when their is no "best" all were an amazing game for their time. Can we just please leave it at that?

I’m actually crying, I was listening to this when I realized, “ there- there is going to be a final elder scrolls game, one to end the elder scroll series.”

Bravo! I got chills across my entire damn body at 3:27, a feeling that very rarely occurs when i listen to music
