  ===Main Title===
  According to Djawadi, the series creators wanted the main title theme that accompany the ''Game of Thrones'' title sequence to be about a journey as there are many locations, characters in the series and involves much traveling. After Djawadi had seen the preliminary animated title sequence the visual effect artists were still working on, he was inspired to write the piece. Djawadi said he intended to capture the overall impression of the series with the theme tune.  The title theme is unusually long for a television series at nearly two minutes long, and cello was chosen as the main instrument for the music as he thought it has a "darker sound" that suited the series.  The main title theme may also be incorporated into other music segments within the show, particularly at climactic moments.
