Fans may soon have to deal with their much-beloved television series, Downton Abbey, coming to an end, but at least the can comfort themselves in the knowledge that the show's composer John Lunn has released a double album of the Downton's most unforgettable music.
After 6-years of immersing himself in the music that would serve as the backing tracks of one of PBS' most popular series of all time, composer John Lunn has compiled an Ultimate Collection Downton Abbey's most meaningful musical moments.
According to Lunn long after the final scenes were been shot Downton's cast and crew were able to keep their connection to the show alive through a seemingly endless series of wrap parties and celebratory get-togethers:
"It doesn't feel like it's dead.
"It took a while. We had almost six months of parties. There was a wrap party when they stopped filming. There was a post-production party, a party for the screening of the final episode.
"It's never felt like the end because there's always been another party about the end of it."
While fans may not have noticed Lunn's guiding hand from one episode to the next, he explained how his music became an invisible character both foreshadowing and providing familiarity week after week:
"Mary and Matthew were on a train station and they'd been together at the end of series one and they'd kind of fallen out and were no longer together, and obviously there was a germ of something still there.
"I knew at the end of that series he was going to propose to her and she was going to accept. And so I had this sort of idea of trying to make a piece of music that would actually cover both. And there's a hint in the train station cue that actually some good might come out of this."
