I'm not entirely sure if Trevor Morris is returning for the next Dragon Age game (though I would think so). However, if he were not to return, or maybe if he was to be joined by another composer, who do you think it should be? Sometimes I feel as though not a lot of appreciation goes into the music behind many of the games we play, when it can be so pivotal to how engrossed a player can be with regards to what's happening on screen.
If I had to throw a name in the ring, I think I would go with a freelance composer named Ivan Torrent. I've had the pleasure of listening to his work for some time now, and I found his music to be highly inspired, and diverse. If you listen to some of the music he's composed over the years, it damn near fits well in line with the theme surrounding Dragon Age. Particularly, I find his "Icarus" track to be one of the most compelling reasons for why he'd make a great addition to the team.
The song is brought forward by a very enchanting female voice artist, and is mixed with a combination of drums, harp strings, and a pacing that evokes a sense of both wonder and action. Here are a few other notable examples of his works that could also fit into the series
With "Wars of Faith," you could literally picture a cinematic involving a bloody battle between Mages and Templars; or even Humans and Qunari. Hell, to some extent, I even feel like he could even compose for the Mass Effect series. For example, here's one track called "The Power of Will"
The song has an air of whimsey and adventure to it, but still retains some of the mechanical/synthesized elements that are commonly used within the Mass Effect soundtracks. The only slight I could see about this song being in the ME franchise is that it might have too much vocalization.
Maybe I'm far too passionate about this type of thing, but I'm hoping this topic could bring together other people who place a lot of importance on music/sound quality in video games. Feel free to name drop someone you too think could be a good contender.

My dream would be James Newton Howard, that man can literally do anything. Or Abel Korzeniowski, the soundtrack for penny dreadful is the best I've ever heard on a television series. Two geniuses for me. Or imagine Howard Shore...

I'd also add Jeremy Soule, of Elder Scrolls fame, to the list.

There is no reason for him to not come back. I think BW parts ways with inon zhur because he talks shit about DA2, if Trevor doesn't do that he should be good. If he does leave however I want someone who can mix DAOs mysterious them with DAIs epicness.

If he does come back I hope they at least put in more exploration tracks. I felt Inquisition is a bit too quit while exploring.
If they have to pick somebody else I'd say go for Jack Wall. His Jade Empire work was great and think he could handle making great tracks for dragon age.

I don't think they should give him any choice in the matter, the DAI score was too good

I will be very salty if Trevor Morris doesn't do the soundtrack to DA4.

Jeremy Soule. If he isn't available, might as well cancel DA4.

Ted Reedy. He was the secondary composer of Dragon Age Inquisition and worked on some great tracks, like "Journey to Skyhold" in the base game, and "Dark Solas Theme" in Trespasser.

Whoever was the guy who did AC2 tracks. I usually turn the music volumes down in all the games because it irritates me and gives me headaches over time, but darn, Venice theme in the AC2 is wonderful. SWTOR score was great as well, particularly on Balmorra....

He's busy with Anthem. I'm not sure that matters. I believe composing 2 hours of music takes a couple of months. The soundtrack composition of Anthem and Dragon Age 4 will probably not overlap.

Old good Inon Zur!
If not Inon, then Yuka Kitamura, but that's probably impossible.
The last one- Sarah Schachner. She did brillant job on Assassin's Creed series.
