Royalty Free Timpani Music

A heart-pounding cinematic action piece with powerful percussion, strings, deep timpani beats and roaring horns

If I say 'pirates' and you think 'Caribbean', then we both know where this is heading. With more than a passing reference to a certain well-known theme, it's every bit as swashbuckling, unleashing the full power of a cinematic orchestra and its percussive ensemble. Having said that, it does have slightly less seafaring tendencies and could easily lend itself to many other action settings from thrillers to adventure scenes, given its generally sterner feel. Epic stuff.

A heart-pounding orchestral thriller featuring african percussion, tribal chants and epic string performances

Ethereal light orchestral piece for strings, piano and harp. Starting with a magical, fantasy feel through high legato strings and fast harp, it soon turns to a more mystical orchestration, melancholic cello becoming more prominent, and introducing a stately motif - something that is boldly developed into a majestic statement as the flow of the music unwinds. Peaceful and steady, while maintaining the grandeur and wonder of an unknown infinite universe, it's a gentle study of questions without answers.

A moving orchestral cinematic piece featuring a piano lead, orchestral strings and overall somber, nostalgic feel

Magical orchestral track with a sense of adventure. A gentle, lilting start from the cor anglais grows into a more epic string theme, supported by brass and woodwinds until it finally breaks into the main motif - triumphant, romantic, grand and uplifting. A good mixture of string and woodwind shorts with sweeping string longs, and changes of pace and intensity help to keep the variety high throughout. Moods come and go, instruments fade in and out, but the winter romance is ever present.

An uplifting, powerful cinematic piano solo with an orchestral string ensemble build-up

Orchestral track on a voyage of discovery, where the unexpected could be lurking around each corner. String ostinato keeps up the momentum while meandering and tense melodies from violins and choir search out a path to follow. Brass swells and rich horn and trombone lines add gravitas to an already dark and brooding atmosphere, forming a track that is steady paced but never really settled. Intriguing.

Rise to all challenges, conquer all weaknesses, defy the odds - this is the story of heroic ambition and the power to achieve. How best to get that sound? String ostinatos and an army of French horns of course. And with a little help from the percussion section and the rest of the orchestra, some subtle sound design features and an uplifting chord progression, you have yourself the most awe-inspiring, motivational soundtrack you could ask for. Suitably heroic, majestic and just plain epic.

Diverse orchestral piece, with a fantasy, cartoon edge. Fast paced and percussive, featuring animated instrumentation and orchestration throughout, it only slows down the intensity for a mysterious, magical breakdown section before picking up the frantic mood once more. Expect fast string runs, pizzicato passages, chiming glockenspiel, brooding brass, snappy percussion and a whole lot of playfulness in this dynamic, stylised track.

Cinematic, dramatic and adventurous instrumental orchestral film music expressing a musical transformation. Powerful climax.

Powerful cinematic track with a hugely heroic flavour. Gently paced but dynamically progressive in building it's energy and emotion, the layering of string ostinato with strong brass melodies with driving percussion with risers and sweeps generates such an inspirational and uplifting vibe that you can't help but be moved.

Beautiful soft cinematic track with digital undertones. Gentle and free flowing, it mixes an electronic background feel with the elegance of the orchestra for an inspirational and reflective ambience. Mid paced and calming with a nice pulsed animation, its uplifting nature and slightly heroic, epic tinges make it a great piece for trailers, documentaries and commercials, as well as many scenes requiring a sensitive and thought provoking vibe.

Adrenalin fuelled cinematic track. A rhythmically charged intro of unison piano and string shorts flourishes into a gothic fantasy dance with subtly macabre overtones, featuring choral melodies and later, epic brass. Impacts and percussion drive the piece forward in a swirl of dramatic emotion, rising again through a key change to its conclusion. Darkly romantic with a playful vibe, it is an energetic, all action piece with a grandiose flair.

Warm and cosy Christmas moods guaranteed with this track, conjuring up the spirit of togetherness in a peaceful and satisfying piece that's all about the gentle side of holidays. Mellow pads and soothing oohs, sleigh bells and clean guitars, synth pulses and string legatos - with a little percussive help to generate an uplifting feel good factor - all blend into the musical equivalent of a tranquil evening in front of a comforting log fire.

A suspense-building orchestral theme featuring tribal percussion, big drums and haunting strings

Epic dubstep, creating a hybrid genre of cinematic orchestral power and contemporary, hard hitting beats. Building up from a steady paced intro of synth pulses and percussion with risers and textures, adding in the orchestral elements gradually hikes up the tension until it goes full on cinema mode with the grandest of themes, perfect for dramatic tension and trailers. A bold statement of majesty and positivity with a slightly dark, yet utterly confident overall feel.

This adventurous music score is driven by the path of time and describes a torn personality with an epic climax.

Enchanting orchestral epic. Magical and mysterious in its gently flowing piano lines and shimmering high strings, it builds on the theme with faster string ostinato and legato melodies, gradually turning into a deeper, more epic interpretation with added brass, woodwind and percussion. Without limiting yourself to the fantasy genre as it works for many other situations, think more 'fairies and elves showing their powers' than 'horsemen of the apocalypse'.
