The “Fallout 4 Main Theme” is probably the most melodious track in the entire soundtrack as the rest focus more on creating an ambiance. The brass section comes in later, giving the track a fuller sound as it slowly builds towards a grand climax. The track starts out serenely with piano and strings, but as the percussion joins in, the piano shifts to a much lower register to play the brooding melody. The familiar theme is sounding more epic than ever in this new iteration fully fledged out by the live orchestra and the piano.
The soundtrack begins with the “Fallout 4 Main Theme”, which will sound familiar to those who have heard the Main Theme of Fallout 3 as these two tracks share the same melody. And this time, Zur composed a whopping 65 original tracks, totaling about three and a half hours of music, to capture the soundscape of the desolate wastelands in the Fallout universe. Inon Zur, who also composed Fallout 3, once again helmed the music for the series.
Seven years after the universally acclaimed Fallout 3, Bethesda finally released the follow-up (not counting Fallout: New Vegas from 2010) to the hugely successful title, Fallout 4.
