Bear McCreary

In 2003 he became sole composer of Battlestar Galactica when Richard Gibbs left the series after the pilot, and his work there made him widely known. The Walking Dead and Outlander followed. He won an Emmy for the main title of Da Vinci's Demons, a musical palindrome that sounds the same forwards and backwards, and more for Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

Style

Ethnic percussion, bagpipes, choirs and strings, very narrative.

Awards

Emmys for the main title of Da Vinci's Demons and for Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
