Yellowstone wouldn’t be complete without the sweeping orchestral sounds that open each episode. And naturally, it was all Taylor Sheridan’s idea to make the title sequences sound big and dramatic, said composer Brian Tyler, who joined his colleague Breton Vivian at Deadline’s Sound & Screen event that focused on the big of both the Paramount Network drama and the Paramount+ prequel 1923.
“He was writing Yellowstone and was thinking that he wanted to do very cinematic kind of approach. He wanted orchestral music and he wanted something very emotional that explored the dark side too, that which reflects dynamically against the beauty,” Tyler said. “It’s like where tragedy is beauty and you understand one because of the other. So I got together with him and, you know, he has his cowboy boots on and everything and … he’s amazing. We just started talking about music and … just understanding the story.

Since the TV academy began regularly honoring original music scores in the 1960s, there has essentially always been a clear distinction between compositions for continuing and limited series. The Best Music for Limited Series Emmy category was established early on in order to adequately recognize the music behind single-season or one-off scripted programs apart from traditional comedy and drama series. This year’s five contenders are about as eclectic as can be, with plots that collectively span multiple centuries and continents.
The current Best Music for Limited Series nominees are “1883” (Paramount+), “Moon Knight” (Disney+), “Station Eleven” (HBO Max), “A Very British Scandal” (Prime Video) and “The White Lotus” (HBO). To determine which one is most likely to take the gold, let’s take a look at each score individually. Be sure to make your Emmy predictions in this and 26 other Creative Arts categories by September 3.

After “Yellowstone” composers Brian Tyler and Breton Vivian came on board to score “1883,” the first limited series prequel in the Yellowstone-verse, creator Taylor Sheridan sent them the scripts. “It’s this really amazing, dark, stark epic tale that is the origins of kind of the growing period of America and for all of its dreams and nightmares,” Tyler tells Gold Derby at our Meet the Experts: Composers panel (watch the exclusive video interview above). “I loved it. The screenplay was very engaging, very emotional. And so I set out to write this music that really echoed the story, but also the tone.”
Starring Sam Elliott, Isabel May, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Lamonica Garrett, “1883” follows the origins of the Dutton family — McGraw plays James Dutton, the great-grandfather of Kevin Costner‘s John Dutton on “Yellowstone” — as they travel west from Tennessee. Because of that trek, Tyler did not...

Writing the perfect main title theme for a television show is easier said than done, say some of the industry’s top composers during the Gold Derby Meet the Experts: Composers roundtable panel. Watch the exclusive video interview above.
“It’s like trying to squeeze the last bit of toothpaste in a container. It takes ages,” says Breton Vivian, a composer who worked with Brian Tyler on the score for “1883” and its parent series, “Yellowstone.” “Sometimes it’s just some sort of hook that you can kind of expand into a bigger thing. But for me, it’s always just spending a really long time with it, measure by measure.… But then sometimes you just do it in like, a couple of minutes. For me, there’s no real formula for it.”

When “Yellowstone” co-composers Brian Tyler and Breton Vivian were tasked with writing the music for the show’s first prequel limited series, “1883,” they made sure to balance a desire to keep the music familiar to “Yellowstone” fans while also trying something new.
“When you listen to it, there are certain instrumentations that make this score kind of sound like it’s within the universe,” Vivian tells Gold Derby during our Meet the Experts panel featuring television composers. “We tried to keep a sense of they’re in the same world, but distinct at the same time.”

As Vivian explains in our exclusive video interview, he and Tyler took their initial cues from “1883” itself. The show is set decades before the events of “Yellowstone” and focuses on the initial rise of the Dutton family – including James Dutton (Tim McGraw), the great grandfather...

Exclusive: Deadline has the first exclusive track from Brian Tyler and Breton Vivian’s score for Redeeming Love, which is set for release tomorrow via Milan Records, as the Universal Pictures title hits theaters.
The film directed by DJ Caruso is a Western romance based on the bestselling novel by Francine Rivers that watches as a young couple’s relationship clashes with the harsh realities of the California Gold Rush of 1850.
For the project marking Tyler’s sixth collaboration with Caruso, he and Vivian looked to craft a sweeping score that captured the heart of its story and themes.
“Composing the score for Redeeming Love was truly one of the most moving experiences of my life. Incredibly directed by long-time collaborator DJ Caruso, the characters imbue such a sense of grace and love that I wanted to…write music that evoked their raw emotion in all of its complexity,” said Tyler.
