Will a soundtrack be released? I simply adore what I’ve heard thusfar in the episodes.
what is taking so long for the soundtrack? the opening music jig from Gentleman Jack is priceless
Hopefully a soundtrack will be released soon.
C D of all the music in this wonderful productioñ
I’m loving the soundtrack- especially the opening music
The opening music sounds exactly like a song by Miranda Lambert
Why in God’s name isnt the soundtrack for this show out??? Wainright took such perfect care for everything else. Obviously she is not in charge of getting this recording out and on iTunes. GET IT OUT PLEASE IT IS PRICELESS Murray Gold WILL win the BAFTA this year. If not then it’s fixed. He will certainly win in the US as will Suranne Jones and Salley wainwright. This is as good as it gets.
I swear I’ve Heard the into music somewhere before. The catchy rhythm is very familiar. The tempo when Anne is dressing seems so familiar. I first thought it was from Sherlock Holmes but cannot find the tune,
Please let me know if I am losing my mind . . . or not.
He also wrote the music to Scott & Bailey…. also has a similar beat.
Reminds me of Game of Thrones
I too would really love the sound track to the series if it’s ever released, I really can’t get this music out of my head, please please please release it soon.
I have searched everywhere for the OST CD to purchase – not only the opening piece but others too. This is going to be a BAFTA contender for sure – please, lets get that soundtrack out – the entire playlist. It will be a winner.
Please, please, please release the Gentleman Jack soundtrack. The music is phenomenal and there is a big GJ fan base desperate to purchase it!
Gentleman Jack. What is the organ music played in the opening of the wedding.
As an Organist I would love to have a copy of this lively music please
I have been saying the same for another show he worked on, from it’s fourth series, Torchwood: Miracle Day yet it never got an official soundtrack release and that was from 2011. You can’t even contact Murray Gold about this issue as he has no direct email address and his representatives never get back to you.
The musical score for this show sounds a lot like Rasputin by Boney M.
