Royalty Free Timpani Music

The title says 'News', but in truth, it's more than that. It certainly has a current affairs/political theme running through it, with its grand orchestral hits, tension-building ascensions, string ostinato, tremolo, percussive chimes and brass swells, but capturing such a cinematic dynamic opens it up to many other uses where a time-led intensity is required. Think James Bond on a deadline.  

Epic and powerful orchestral track with a melodic violin theme.

Dramatic and powerful track, full of cinematic tension. To start, it's a soft piano creating an ambient, pensive mood, helped by solo cello and violin lines, by the end it's a brooding, dark drama piece backed by metronomic percussion, string shorts and rich brass for a full and dynamic sense of evolving dilemma and unravelling denouement.

Adventurous medieval and cinematic orchestral track

Who doesn't love a huge epic with searing strings and majestic brass? This is it, with a little extra oomph. It's a builder, going from soft string ostinato into a drop of dramatic proportions to introduce the main theme: a steadily grandiose and heroic melody, helped largely by percussive hits, deep, deep braams, and marcato strings. Then double it. With searing strings and plenty of horns. An emotional triumph.

Mystical, orchestral epic, with an ethereal quality. Soothing choir and lush strings and pads start us off, with rich brass swelling to a gently pulsing section of strings and woodwinds as it builds to a more epic finale of fanfare brass and timpani rolls. No stand out melodies, but an overall feel of wonder and enlightenment in a gentle and majestic setting.

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'.

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.

Slow burning trailer epic capturing all the tension and drama of a high end action blockbuster.

Contemporary orchestral piece with a cartoonish side. You know when you wake up, and everything seems OK until you look at the clock? Panic sets in as you hurry to catch up, with too much to do in not enough time. Here it is in musical form - bright, spritely passages followed by startling realisation and fast paced xylophone and string runs, all mixed up with a sense of urgency in a dramatic and dynamic composition featuring the whole orchestra.

Hybrid orchestral tension builder. Building gradually off a base of industrial percussion, we get fast action strings and bold brass mixed with modern, rhythmic synth pulses.

Epic and dramatic maelstrom of orchestral texture, building into an intense climax. Featuring the whole orchestra in a well constructed, well paced action sequence, it's full of percussive hits, fluttering tremolos, cascading wind runs, brass stabs and a whole pit of underlying menace. Wonderfully dynamic and packing a real punch.

Cinematic piece, featuring piano and orchestra. A simple and traditional melancholic piano theme opens, juxtaposed by modern shrill electronic pulses to immediately give a sense of the unusual. It breaks into a lush orchestral theme with legato strings, rich brass and fast moving marimba, building in intensity to a majestic climax with fanfare brass and timpani hits. Not to last, it drops back to the orignial theme and calmer style to finish a piece that has a diverse landscape of emotions, evoking sadness, reflection, wonder and longing.

Epic and majestic. Coming at you like an army of Valkyries riding the crest of a tidal wave, it is a full on orchestral juggernaut of swirling action and heroic battling, featuring solid string ostinato and massive percussion, taken to the next level with huge choirs and even bolder brass. There's big, there's bigger, and then there's this.
