Here is how Toprak continues to blaze trails with her latest composition.
In July, Prime Video announced that Toprak had been commissioned to create an original score and theme music for “Thursday Night Football” coverage.
Within the official release, the streaming service shared that the anthem was recorded over two days in Nashville. As part of the process, Toprak worked closely with the production team of “Thursday Night Football” with a goal “to create a pulsating and uplifting score.”
Toprak’s creation is the first new theme music for a rights holder of an NFL package since John Williams composed the theme for NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” in 2006.
