Bear McCreary returns to compose music for the seventh season of Outlander where characters Jamie Fraser and Young Ian race to rescue Claire before she’s tried and wrongfully convicted for the murder of Malva Christie. This season showcases a geopolitical firestorm: The American Revolution arriving to North Carolina. The second part of the series finds Claire, Jamie and Young Ian leaving the colonies and arriving in their beloved homeland of Scotland. The perils of the Revolutionary War force the Frasers to choose between standing by those they love and fighting for the land they have made their new home.

The emotionally rich score includes songs influenced by Scottish folk music and colonial America. Romantic strings, anthemic percussion, delicate flutes, skillful bagpipes and fiddle rhythms are abundant on the soundtrack. Fans will also recognize musical melodies from previous seasons. Vocalists Sinéad O’Connor and Griogair Labhruidh each have a track on the album.

I was thrilled to write an epic musical narrative for the sweeping seventh season of Outlander. For this season’s score, I further developed the musical themes fans have come to love, while the war drums of the Revolutionary War rattle, figuratively and literally, on the horizon. The album is dedicated in loving memory to my friend, the late Sinéad O’Connor, who graced us with an iconic performance of ‘The Skye Boat Song’ for our Main Title.” - Bear McCreary
