Question
In episode 09 of House of the Dragon, during Aegon II's coronation scene, the music was similar to "The King's Arrival" when Robert Baratheon came to Winterfell in the first season of Game of Thrones. Even the clarinet sort of instrument had the same scent.
The same music is there when I search for the House Baratheon theme.
There seems to be some connection suggested there, can someone provide any insight into it?
Answer
Yes, there is a connection. The music represents the monarch sitting (or that's going to sit) on the Iron Throne.
The theme that the trumpets played before Aegon II makes his entrance is the melody to The King's Arrival by Ramin Djawadi. The King's Arrival was first played in Game of Thrones S01E01 in the scene where King Robert Baratheon arrives at Winterfell. The music played during Aegon II's entrance and coronation scene is a variation of The King's Arrival.
This theme was used multiple times in Game of Thrones to represent the person sitting on the Iron Throne.
Here's a darker variation used in Game of Thrones Season 8, Arrival at Winterfell. This variation played as Queen Daenerys and Jon Snow arrive at Winterfell in Game of Thrones S08E01.
