Claymore (クレイモア Kureimoa) OST

I watched this anime series a couple of days ago but I am still entranced by the stellar soundtrack.

Here are some of my favorite tunes (musical compositions by Masanori Takumi):


Dominant instrument - bagpipes
Mood - exuberant overall (but tinged with some melancholy and somber elements)



Dominant instrument - flute
Mood - hopeful



Dominant instrument - flute
Mood - peaceful and calming



Dominant instrument - synth sound coupled with a female voice
Mood - foreboding and ominous



Dominant instrument - drums and ominous female chanting
Mood - mysterious and foreboding



Dominant instrument - xylophone
Mood - pensive and sentimental



FYI: Claymore is the name of Scottish swords (from the Scottish Gaelic claidheamh mòr, "great sword") by the Scottish Highlanders. In the eponymous anime, the half-Youma, half-human individuals enlisted to to dispatch "Youmas" or demons are called "Claymores" for the very swords that they wield.
