For a game designed for hundreds of hours of playtime, they sure failed on variety. It's almost grating now. Why didn't they add more?

Of all the complaints you could have had about this game that could have been bigger than a complaint about music and you decide to complain about the battle music. The music in the game is already epic as is and the battle music lets you know this: Hey there is an enemy nearby. Dragons have a different battle theme than anything else which lets you know this: Hey dragon incoming.

Don’t know, but I turn off the Music when playing so, no battle music or normal music in my game.
The music in the game is already epic as is, Yep Epic Fail....
Here is a great example I'm out and about mining ore and all of a sudden the pleasant music changes to you guessed it Battle Music. What whats that, I must be under attack. After scanning the area in a 360 fashion I find why the music changed there is a Pack of Wolves coming over the hill to attack me. Too bad for them I was alerted by the MUSIC.

Which is a problem. During hundreds of hours, fighting will happen a lot. The lack of variety is terrible. Even worse, it alerts you that enemies are nearby. That's not a good thing to me.

i'm with the OP, the music is awesome in skyrim but the combat music lacks variety. i got sick of the dragon battles music playing all the time..

i couldnt believe unique bosses like alduin still have normal dragon music, it just torn the epicness apart and make them feel like a nusiance

Exactly! How cheesy is that? Can just the battle music be turned off?

Jeremy Soule is a music God. It's Bethesda's fault for not requesting more battle themes, not the composer's for not thinking about composing more.

Nobody said anything about the composer.
