Guild Wars 2

I love the CD set so much! And my favorite piece is on CD 4, Track 2, “Raven Speaks.” I first heard it in game before I listened to the CDs. It made the retaking of Claw Island even more epic.

However, I am highly puzzled by the name of the piece. Most of the tracks have simply descriptive titles, or a title that conveys the flavor of the music. Yet this one makes me feel I’m missing something in lore. I don’t think of Raven as a soaring triumphant chorus, somehow.

Maybe only Soule himself can answer this. What artistic choice dictated that title for this music?

Perhaps the song was originally intended to be in a different place and got repurposed after its name had been given already? =)
