Available on November 25th, Sumthing Else Music Works has announced that it will be releasing the Fable II soundtrack to the public, giving us a taste of some classical themes and points of Fable II.

”We had a lot of music to record, covering many different styles including chamber, celtic, classic, quirky, pure pizzicato, atmospheric and dramatic,” said Russell Shaw, Head of Music and Composer at Lionhead Studios. “Music for the game was broken down into four distinct categories: regions, script, combat and incidentals. Each region has its own orchestral theme which changes with the seasons in each chapter. Scripted moments have orchestral cues relevant to what is happening at that point in the story – sad, dramatic, mysterious, tension and danger. The final result is a very rich, Hollywood style score covering many genres.”

The soundtrack was composed by Russell Shaw (Fable, Black and White) and Danny Elfman who provided the Fable II theme and who is responsible for a lot of other familiar themes as well, with the most popular being Batman.
