Eric Heberling did the music for the first two installments, Arena and Daggerfall. There's a reason there are dozens of music modifications for Morrowind and/or Oblivion floating around that replace Soule's works with arranged versions of the tunes from those older in the series, and it's not just nostalgia.
Take a listen to Track 21. Phenomenal composition.
Check this out, an index of all specially remixed/arranged Daggefall compositions. The ones by Dan Goodale are truly epic.
The recurring 'Elder Scrolls' theme mentioned in the Morrowind/Oblivion category? Contrary to what Morrowind's YMMV page may lead one to think, it began with Daggerfall's GSNOW_B.
Bonus points to the Morrowind theme for having the heartbeat background rythm, that symbolizes the Heart of Lorkhan, the literal center of Vvardenfell where the game is set.
This troper got shivers re-listening to the Morrowind theme and noticing that it is remarkably heartbeat, and that it keeps going through the song. Wow.
Double Bonus Points when you hear the Morrowind Theme Reprise, originally intended for Oblivion but sadly cut, then fortunately released via the special edition Morrowind Soundtrack.
Although The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind didn't have any scripted music moments, the sheer amount of atmosphere that emanates from every track is absolutely stunning. This troper cannot listen to Peaceful Waters without getting goosebumps.
Auriel's Ascension is a simply outstanding piece of music, and is one of the best in the whole soundtrack.
The Wings of Kynareth made gawping at the graphical beauty of Oblivion's draw distance and massive world that much more awe-inspiring, as Oblivion was the first current-gen game that this troper played.
You would think that the trailer for the new Elder Scrolls game would have less awesome music on account of it being a teaser trailer. You would be wrong.
A new arrangement of the theme has been made for Skyrim, complete with a Nordic choir chanting in Draconic. The music got even more awesome. Skyrim Version (skip to 2:45 on Video 4).
This article needs more FUS RO DAH. Just love the way it punctuates the music - hammers the point, so to say. Along with the dragon.
A cleaner version of the Elder Scrolls theme has been released here.
The Streets Of Whiterun is a surprisingly passionate and sentimental song for the first city you come across.
"Sovngarde" is pretty awesome by itself, but when it plays when you enter the Nordic land of the honored dead to do final battle with Alduin himself with the ancient heroes at your side, it takes it Up to Eleven.
Watch the Skies is unbelievably awesome, especially when fighting a particularly nasty dragon.
Secunda, one of the best ambient pieces in the soundtrack.
