Sony Music and Madison Gate Records has announced the release of Outlander: Season 2 (Original Television Soundtrack) on CD and digital formats on October 28, 2016. The soundtrack includes original music from season 2 of the critically acclaimed series by Emmy®award-winning composer Bear McCreary and vocal performances by Raya Yarbrough (“The Skye Boat Song”) and Griogair Labhruidh (“Je Suis Prest”, “Moch Sa Mhadainn”). 

The soundtrack features lush orchestral arrangements with French Baroque and Gaelic influences, reflecting the season 2 storyline. The score also contains alternate versions of the main title theme, including an all-new French adaptation.

“The adventurous second season of Outlander allowed me to learn and explore an entirely new musical language,” said composer Bear McCreary. “My immersion into the worlds of French baroque music, performance, and history—followed by an in-depth study of lesser-known Jacobite musical history—resulted in one of the most exciting and creative experiences of my career. I concluded this season a better composer than when I began, and for that I am grateful.”

The television series is distributed in more than 200 territories around the world and has reached over 18 million viewers in its most recent season. The previous soundtracks have already sold over 100,000 units. The international best-selling Outlander book series has sold more than 26 million copies worldwide and all eight books in the series have graced the New York Times best-sellers list.
