Out of curiosity, do you prefer 'Nerevar Rising', the main theme, or 'Nerevar Rising Reprise', the reprise of Rising that was supposed to be used in Oblivion?

Recently, I've found Reprise and I'm beginning to prefer it. It sends shivers down my spine.

I want to say the reprise, but that may be due to overexposure to the original theme.

That may be my case too. But after a good listen to the two earlier today, I've found that the original theme only has one overall sort of sound. While absolutely amazing and homely, it could be considered boring is comparison to the Reprise. The Reprise has a number of sounds going on in it, and the way it switches between the two main sounds at its most intense part is quite chilling.

They both have their perks and are masterpieces in their own right, but I've got to say the Reprise here. Morrowind's soundtrack also has that same sort of sound running through it, and the Reprise breaks away from that. It's hard to explain, but the Reprise is just different and seems more varied than the original. It's still a hard choice, though, because Rising has a nostalgic, homely feeling to it. I felt nostalgia from that theme before I had even played Morrowind; Morrowind's soundtrack does that to you. But Reprise doesn't do that, me thinks.
