It's Bear McCreary! My excitement for the show grew seven sizes just now!

" The series centers on the behind-the-scenes people, their heroism and their quirks. As such, the music I wrote is heroic and, at times, quirky and offbeat. And I’m fortunate that Marvel and Disney immediately recognized the value in having a full symphony orchestra perform the score for each and every episode, which is the only way to do this right."
Can you pick five words — nouns or adjectives I suppose — describing the music you’ve done for the show?
If I had to pick only five words? Melody, Melody, Melody, Melody, and Melody. To me, a superheroic score is only as good as its main theme. If you’re not singing the tune in the shower a few days after hearing it, then an opportunity has been lost.

There was this fan video of a guy trying to get a role on the show, and McCreary scored the short. The music was not good. I remember thinking: If this is how he would approach the show's scoring, I hope he doesn't get the job...

This is great news, and a major stepping stone for McCreary on his way to a feature film career.
Congratulations to McCreary! And hopefully there will be a CD release - unlike with the botched "Walking Dead"-situation.

I hope he can make good on that promise. Avengers had a decent theme, but the score wasn't as melodic as Captain America (IMHO).

Very nice development, and I'm eager to hear what he has in store for Knights of Badassdom, if that ever shows up in theaters.

I wish I could hear what other people hear in McCreary's music, but nothing ever seems to stand out to me. Oh well, there's always the composers I dig.

I think his music for Battlestar Galactica is terribly overrated and I don't understand why people like it. Towards the end of the last season it got pretty good but early in the series for me it actually detracted, especially any time the bagpipes started up for the "father/son theme".
On the other hand, his scores to Human Target and The Cape are fantastic and thematic action scores -- have you heard either of them? He dedicates The Cape to Shirley Walker and if you like her style I'd be surprised if you found nothing worthy in his music.

My big hope, as excited as I am to hear what Bear has come up with for Shield, is that this opens up the possibility of him scoring Guardians of the Galaxy. Now there's a thought! (Although by the time that one arrives I suspect all genre movies will be scored by Hans Zimmer Inc.)
Why not Avengers 2? That would be quite a thing, wouldn't it? Of course I would never have expected them to pick Whedon to top off the whole Avengers arc in the first place, so maybe not so far fetched as I think.
Has Zimmer Inc. scored ANY Marvel movies? Are we counting Djawadi?

Bear played some of his music for the show at one of the film music panels at Comic Con yesterday. I really liked what I heard, and I am looking forward to hearing how he develops the music over the course of the series. His enthusiasm was contagious.
