This intro is so good that my boyfriend and I never clicked on "skip intro" when watching Foundation, not once

Wait, YOU'RE composing for this show??? Asimov is my favorite author, and foundation has reshaped how I think about the world. I'm so stoked to hear what you bring to the show!!

Dune and Foundation adaptations in the same year? What a way to make quarantine that much more manageable. (Just found a copy of Foundation to read too :D)

I'm so incredibly happy that Bear had a chance to put his kind of magic into this show. I'm pretty sure, in advance, that the score will only elevate the scenes. Thank you Bear for your work!

It’s so good. This theme is fucking fantastic.

Very cool, this was recorded here in Vienna at Sychronstage Studios, I had a hell of a good time:)

Another incredible opening theme by Bear! No one makes more distinctive and evocative theme music than this guy

Incredible....this theme has such an iconic feel already !

Won't say what would i do for an extended version of this masterpiece, merveilleux !

Thanks for recording your powerful score for Foundation with our #SynchronStageOrchestra in Vienna, Bear! ✨🎻💙

Instant goosebumps!!! I need a safe place to listen to new scores from Bear until I get used to them, or else I'll risk breaking out in tears of excitement publicly.

Did not know you had written music for this. Foundation was a favorite book of mine when I was younger, can't imagine someone better to score the adaptation.

Oh, what glorious and epic musical magic is this! Now, I have another soundtrack that’s at the top of my rather long ‘must get and listen to’ list.

Oh man, Bear. I live for these videos! Been watching them closely since you made the Defiance Title Theme video and every time a new one comes, as a composer, my mind gets blown a little more, and this one didn't disappoint either. Looking forward to hear the entire score

The theme is as magnificent as the series. Bravo!

Foundation: Season 1 - The Dream of Cleon the First Brilliant. listen to this song very carefully. This is Demerzel's melody. Listen, and you will follow Demerzel's character and her life path. it is a lullaby and a requiem in one melody. Birth, education, formation, departure and death. Demerzel is one of the deepest characters in the series. She’s mother, she’s teacher, she’s a Grey Cardinal. Amazing. Bravo, mr. McCreary! Bravo, Maestro.

When I first heard it, I knew it was from you, maestro McCreary :D

Awesome soundtrack to an awesome show. This really does the book, one of the greatest science fiction works of all time, justice.

How many times have you heard this: yes

Oh wow ... I hadn't noticed you were doing this! And I thought I couldn't get any more excited for this show! :-)

I just finished episode five... This is epic. Absolutely in love with the music already.

Ah, every time i like a series music it almost without exception is a work of Bear mcCreary. I wasn't entirely sure when i first heard it because it has almost John Williams-like orchestral themes. It gives the opening music cinematic proportions. Wonderful piece.

The texture at the beginning is absolutely inspired!

You did it again, man.

0:27 Elfman’s Spider-Man vibes thanks to tempo and percussion

such an epic theme for an epic sci fi show!! Love it!!!! I would love Apple to bring back Stargate!

Never ceases to amaze me. Bear, u're a legend!! :)

Bear, I want you to know I am watching Foundation JUST for your music in it.

The way you weave everything together... such passion and attention to detail.

Bear, you are wonderful composer!

MASTERPIECE

Bear McCreary, THE 21st Century John Williams.

Hey Mr Bear McCreary, I just finished season one of this, Bit of a long-time fan of your work, Your musical progression from BSG to Foundation is awe-inspiring, The themes are so strong in both, and you managed to create that sense of scale across time with this one, much the same as BSG had that travelling across the vastness of space, I dunno, I don't have the flow of words to express it, but I think your work here is wonderful. Cheers. J

It's in C minor but borrows chords from outside of the key like Db major, Db minor, Db major 7th, Db minor 6th, and Ab minor add9, and then he ends it on a thrilling Ab major chord, which feels both satisfying and unresolved at the same time. Pretty clever writing, and definitely more harmonically interesting than most theme songs I hear on most TV shows.

Really catchy when I first saw the season pick up! Plus synchs quite well with the opening graphics sequence.

Epic and Astounding!

I had no idea you are making the score for Foundation. The best sci-fi TV series meets the best sci-fi novel series in your person :)

Beautiful!!!!

This stuff is amazing! And I love seeing original creators like you post their work where we can listen to it more easily without worrying about maybe supporting ppl that would take without giving credit or dues. Thanks so much, Bear!

Wow !!! 👏🏻🔥👏🏻🔥👏🏻

Love the series, love the title theme, thanks

You're amazing bear, your music is just something else man

I couldn't even imagine what the room feels like during rehearsal!!!!! I get goosebumps just watching this!

Absolutely amazing! The opening has all the fantasy, danger, action and epicness of the best of the Foundation series. Bear rocks again!

Majestic

Killer, Bear!!!

Oddly this reminds me of the "His Dark Materials" opening theme song from the HBO show.

Wonderful stuff!

So so awesome!!!

Daaaaaaaaymmmmmah! Would love to see a behind the scenes on the "algorithm" orch software.

Bear your amazing bro

wow, this is absolutely incredible.

An absolute masterpiece, in every fundamental aspect: composition, arrangement, production. The melody and counterpoint in the first 16 bars are marvellous, the sound engineering is impeccable.

BEST soundtrack in a while, also reminds me the Mandalorian one a bit

holy cow, we will be watching your career with great interest!

One of my goto tracks and albums. As epic as the show is, this score matches it. I am reminded of how Basil Poledouris raised up Conan the Barbarian to a new level.

I wish Isaac asimov and Hans Zimmer made a collab that would be epic. Just imagine the story they could've created.

hearing this made me want to watch Foundation. Anything is good with an amazing talent like Bear McCreary :)

Bear McReary is one of those few composers that's can make me watch a show or movie just to hear the music in it's intended setting. Also those spicy chords at :36 *chef's kiss*

I haven’t watched the show, but this is an actual banger.

I can't believe how magical and epic this theme is.

This music really gives the feeling of a grand saga uncovering marvelous composition.

Simply stellar!!!

This is sooooo clean!

This sounds like the kind of thing Jerry Goldsmith would compose if he were still alive today.

Chills chills just chillssss ✨✨✨✨✨

Bear! This is my favorite of your themes! I loved the first episode and I am looking forward to the rest of show!

Every time I am blown away by a musical score, there he is; Bear. One of the best composers of our time. I fell in love with your music when you did Battlestar Galactica and you just continue to impress.

If I ever get a chance to record with full orchestra I will definitely be looking at Synchron Vienna from now on.

Im happy that you will be composing God of War once again :)

This, along the intro for "Modern Love", are the only ones i never skip.... Excellent work! At Mahler level

When They Hire THE BEAR, It Is Going To Be Good

INTENSE MIDI CONTROLLING

God, you just go hard in everything you do, don't you? Keep at it, man.

Wish we could get a piano score reduction (hint...hint). I would gladly purchase it in heartbeat. I rarely watch the introduction of a show. This is one I watch the introduction on every time, specifically because the music is amazing. I want to play it though. Been looking through your page and wanting to take your melody with chords and come up with something, but I would definitely love to get what the composer believes he feels is the most important in a reduction (hint hint again :) Either way, Fantastic composition.

Amazing theme..well done mr mccreary. 👏👏👏👏 gives me goosebumps every time.

Song Lyrics : I've been working on the railroad All the live-long day. I've been working on the railroad Just to pass the time away.

Season 2 was a triumph in all fronts, including music. I am really, really hoping this is not the end

Amazing work...✨

Deciding what new shows to watch based on whether or not Bear McCreary worked on the soundtrack like.

Thanks Bear, I love this album, I've been listening to it over and over since it came out!

00:36 gives me chills evertim

Wonderful. Great to hear you recorded this here in Vienna.

Yo your career must be skyrocketing! If you’re doing these projects now imagine in 10 years!!!

Bear is such a chad

Bear is an absolute musical genius!

Big fan de Bear McCreary, j'ai adoré la BO de Battlestar Galactica.

I always love it when you can tell a piece's composer by just listening to it. It certainly sounds like a McCreary.

Gr8 stuff bro!

Sounds awesome - and the musicians seem to have a great time as well!

La maravillosa armonía de los instrumentos de viento y de percusión transporta al espacio.

Maravilloso

I was pretty excited for this show, but now after hearing this i am incredibly excited! I might have to get Apple TV+ for this. Will there be a CD release?

So cool to have access to this music in this way. Thanks for this.

I just love your melodic writing!

I am proud to be one of the first people on earth to hear this theme :)

the first time I heared the intro I was like, wait thats sound like Bear 😀

I also heard a homage to Gaeta’s Lament in there!!!

Exquisite 😍😍😍

This theme song can also be used for GOT
