Today, Prime Video announced that the talented composer Pinar Toprak (Captain Marvel, Fortnite) has been commissioned to create a brand new original score and theme music for the streamer’s exclusive coverage of Thursday Night Football. & # xD;

“It has been a great honor and pleasure to be a part of Thursday Night Football, and to work with the inspiring teams on Prime Video,” said Toprak. “Our goal was to create a memorable theme that is both relevant and timeless. We relied on the great brass and muscular energy of legacy scores, combined with unique, lyrical moments, to achieve a sense of heart and soul. I could not be more excited to share this new anthem with the world, and hope it will connect with both fans and players as we make TNF history. “& # xD;

“Pinar is a remarkable talent at the top of her craft, and a joy to work with. We believe she has delivered an epic and timeless theme that will elevate our presentation and become synonymous with TNF on Prime Video for years to come,” said Marie Donoghue, Prime Videos VP, Global Sports Video. & # XD;
& # xD;
“I have been fortunate to have been involved in several NFL themed music projects, and this was the most intelligent and collaborative approach I have ever been a part of,” Gaudelli said. “Pinar was outstanding from the start, taking into account our feedback along the way, and composing a score that contains intensity, drama and a ‘hummable hook’ that comes in and joins you.” & # xD;
