My Lady Jane

Gird your loins for the tragic tale of Lady Jane Grey, the young Tudor noblewoman who was Queen of England for nine days and then beheaded, back in good ol’ 1553. We’re retelling history the way it should have happened: the damsel in distress saves herself. This is an epic tale of true love and high adventure set in an alt-universe of action, history, fantasy, comedy, romance, and rompy-pompy.

Composer Rael Jones delivers an anachronistic original score, blending the period’s music and orchestral instrumentation with modern rock production – listen here. Paired with the contemporary cover songs, the result is a musical universe as distinct as the onscreen story and its alt-fantasy world.  

Of the soundtrack, composer Rael Jones says, “Our goal on My Lady Jane was to combine period music with modern rock in an interesting and cool way. We have rock riffs blasting out on hurdy gurdy, viol and lute. String orchestra and woodwind co-exist with heavy drums, bass and crunchy guitars. I came onto the project early, before shooting began, and wrote many themes for the picture edit team to work to. You can hear some of this in the album – the first 19 tracks were written either without picture, or alongside early versions of it. These themes were then refined and crafted alongside the show. We had a blast making it and hope that you love it too.”  

My Lady Jane is now streaming exclusively on Prime Video.
