So, stopping by Target for diapers and batteries on Black Friday (as one does), I decided to sneak a peek at the new 5E artbook, Legends & Lore. I haven't gotten it yet as it is on my Christmas list, but I was curious to see if there was anything interesting and new in the back...and there was. Not only was there some cool stuff announced, near as I can tell nobody has talked about it yet on the Internet, so here goes.
First up is the official 50th anniversary logo for the holden jubilee of the game. Haven't seen it before, but no doubt it will be everywhere in the next year:
The other element of interest is the announcement of a full symphonic suite by the composer Michael Gatt for the Forgotten Realms called Bardic Inspiration: A Musical Journey through the Forgotten Realms. Per the book, "this musical composition will establish signature themes and sounds for prominent characters, factions and locations within D&D' beloved Forgotten Realms setting."
There will be a 70+ piece orchestra and and a 40 person choir performing this suite, pictured here recording in Vienna in December 2022 recording the track "Arise, Tiamat!":
Very cool seeming to me as a fan of through-composed music, and it makes me wonder what format we will see this in.
