Personally I think Inon Zur's work on Dragon Age 2 wasn't that good. I love the majority of his work on Origins but 2 just seemed to be a mediocre/average fantasy soundtrack. I want a soundtrack that feels magical and engages me into the world of fantasy. Dragon Age 2 didn't do this and if Bioware are bringing Inon back he really needs to take time on the score and step up his game.

Games like the Elder Scrolls and Guild Wars 2 really got it right.

Movies/TV series like Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones had amazing soundtracks.

Here are some composers that I think would be great on the Inquisition soundtrack

Jeremy Soule - www.youtube.com/watch
Ramin Djawadi - www.youtube.com/watch
Howard Shore - Mass Effect got Clint Mansell... Would it be possible to get another big name composer?
Jesper Kyd - www.youtube.com/watch

Who would you personally like to see? A new composer or Inon Zur returning?

Well since we are going to be on Orlais which is full of spies, bards and just a world of intrigue i would like the soundtrack match that. DA:O and DA2 was more of an adventures sort of style and that matches those stories.

[Robhuzz]

Inon Zur also said he was rushed to push the DA2 soundtrack out the door because EA wanted a quick launch so that may be the reason why I felt the majority of the DA2 music was inferior to DAO.

I have no doubt Inon Zur can make a wonderful soundtrack for DA3 as well, if only they give him enough time. Coincidentally, the same goes for the development team.

I'd definitely want Inon Zur to return. He's been with the Dragon Age series from the start and I have enjoyed his work so far so I see no reason to change.

I think the music for DAO and DA2 has been really interesting.

To my ear, Origins heavily utilised medieval devices, like modes and ornamentation, but set within an orchestral framework, which naturally brings influence from much later styles.

I think DA2's soundtrack was much more sophisticated. It combined tone colours and techniques from a range of "world music" styles, presumably to reflect Kirkwall's diverse mix of residents. But, the harmony sometimes also strayed into the romantic period, to my ear. The songs all referenced each other, sometimes directly, which might be "recycled content" instead of actual consistency, but I think it worked.

Every time someone opens a thread about music in DA3, I just think French Impressionism, like Debussy and Ravel.
Eg.

I'm not saying it would be done badly or well, or how. Just that, surely, Orlais etc, it will be influenced by this movement?

Jeremy Soule is the only composer everyone needs.

[Arppis]

I hope it's not Jeremy Soule, he gets so repeative after awhile.

But yeah, Jasper Kyd is good.

If Inon Zur is actually given enough time for DA3, I bet it would be a great soundtrack like Origins was. DA2 was fine, just a bit tame.

[Sandy]

I think I would like Inon to return, but I think he should try some new things. I would love it if Dragon Age 3 and Orlais had something like this for the music. The music is from the TV-show The Tudors, by Trevos Morris but I think it fits fairly well. It still sounds very much like Dragon Age, but has some new twists and turns.
The Death of Jane Seymour/A Howling Wilderness
Behold The King Of England
Henry meets Anne Boleyn
Anne dreams of her Childhood
Main Theme

[ashesandwine]

Will.I.Am

[ioannisdenton]

yes guys Jesper kyd is fantastic as others who are mentioned in this thread ,
But
Inon zur is from the start and his music fits DA games like a glove.
His work on DA2 especially
Amell family theme (seriously listen it)
DA2 and DAO theme
Fenris theme OR mage pride
Love theme
Leleiana song
Captivity
Qunari on the rise <-- so badass
Callenhad docks or wounded beach
Ostagar betrayal
DA2 end credits theme, a remake of i am not calling you a liar makes me forget DA2 flaws.
all these are from the top of my head.
Inon Zur is a beast regarding fantasy settings.

Dragon age begun with him and he has surved it in the best way possible from me. He shoud continue

i don't like assassins's creed but the ost is FANTASTIC. AC2 and ACrevelations get  quite the treatment on my evening pipe tobacco sessions.

[ioannisdenton]

this is untopable for dragon age i think . So much emotion..

[deuce985]

Jeremy Soule or Jesper Kyd would be my pick if not Inon Zur. Jesper is on record as saying Bioware is his dream team to work with again. Hear that Bioware? Jesper wants to bring his amazing and emotional music to your games. Let him work with Inon Zur? That's a hell of a team right there...

No more Hollywood composers please. Clint Mansell's tracks were good but they don't fit the ME universe at all. Just because they're great composers in Hollywood doesn't mean they can adapt to video games. It's an entirely different beast. They have plenty of amazing video game composers out there willing to do DA3's score.

Inon Zur is the greatest composer of video games, he must return!

[GipsyDangeresque]

I'd honestly prefer Inon Zur. Contrary to OP's belief, I felt he did great work on DA2's soundtrack.

I'm kind of an oddball, game and movie scores are the only kind of music I even listen to and I listen to a lot of it so I'm not rating Zur's work in DA2 in a vacuum of quality, I think it stands up to its competition easily.

The only flaw in the DA2 score from my point of view was that a lot of combat was ambient, intense filler and not melodically memorable. Even in that aspect, an exception can be made for Qunari on the Rise, which was exceptional. DA2's "Main Theme," "Mages," "Tavern Music," "Mage's Pride," and "Dark Dawn" were all great pieces.

Origins just had better iconic pieces and I'd like to see more of that vein of music return, like the original main theme, Elves at the Mercy of Men and The Realm of Orzammar.


EDIT: Because I forgot to give a shoutout to the Camp Theme from Origins and Hawke's Family Theme from 2 because they were both fantastic as well!

I thought Inon Zur did a fine job. I hope he returns for Inquisition.

[Josielyn]

Any composer, just as long as they have some singers from Celtic Woman involved!

[MiSS Provencale]

I love Lorne Balfe. The music of AC revelations, Liberation and 3 are remarkable. Besides, he has worked extensively with Hans Zimmer

[Pseudo the Mustachioed]

Bear McCreary.

[Bfler]

Jeremy Soule or everyone, who is able to do an orchestral sountrack. 
Music is one of the most important features to raise emotions. Inon Zur is also good, but the last time it was in Origins. He failed in DA2.
