A romantic, early 20th century style operatic humming chorus accompanied by light pizzicato strings and flutes. The prima donna soprano enters part way through. Expressive and airy, this piece works well as source music or as background music for documentaries or period pieces. Mixed Vocals, Classical, Romantic
Pounding rock drums under a fat, undulating synth bass, pulsing bass and silky, affected vocals (often in three part harmony). A nod to the 80's with a modern mix. Sexy, grinding verses lead to an explosive chorus and a bridge that both percolates and bursts with energy. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, New Wave
Mozart's composition from his Requiem still packs a powerful emotional wallop. A large, lamenting choir matched with a classical era orchestra screams grief with elegance, Mixed Vocals, Dramatic, Sad Music, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Pounding dance music with white hot buzzing synth bass and robot vocals. Occasional ambient moments contrast with the opening and rebuild to the full driving mix. Good for scenes in the club, partying, chaotic montages and lost weekends - not to mention video games with an arcade feel. Male Vocals, Dance, Rave
A throwback to 1960's France in the humorous Yé-Yé style. Cheesy organ, accordion, whistling, saxophone, nonsense lyrics all point to something a little weird. Great for comedic, fun or ironic montages or travel, fashion & nostalgia media. Male Vocals, Comedy, Novelty Songs
Suitable for any profoundly creepy setting, this track consisting of eerily distorted celeste and piano, ghostly, shrieking strings, random thuds and the really disturbing beathing of a boys choir is great for horror movies/backgrounds/reality T.V./Halloween music. Mixed Vocals, Horror, Horror Ambience
Short dramatic choral piece with full orchestra. Good for dark, brooding moments, funerals or over the top moments of loss in reality shows or extreme sports. Starts big, soars for a little while, then fades away. Male Vocals, Dramatic, Sad Music
Exotic, erotic, ancient feel with mesmerizing percussion and oud beginning leading to a hypnotic melody by female vocals. The seduction builds to a large climax including brass instruments. Good for fantasy, ancient epics with Greek/Roman/Persian feel, video games. Female Vocals, World Music, Mid-East World Fusion
Beginning with Middle Eastern sounding percussion and winds, building to a soft choral entrance and finally pushing towards a huge choral and orchestral climax. Conan the Barbarian gets seduced! Mysterious and sexy. Good for fantasy/adventure/historical/gaming/Middle Eastern settings. Mixed Vocals, Dangerous, Dark Music
A shimmering, exciting full orchestral track perfect for scenes of high adventure in exotic lands, or shows depicting travel to the majestic deserts of North Africa or the Middle East. Stimulating indigenous percussion, driving winds, pulsating brass & choir accompany an epic string theme. Mixed Vocals, Dramatic, Energizing Music
An intense, climactic choral and orchestral piece in the style of Carl Orff's O Fortuna from Carmina Burana. Ideal for scenes of intensity in reality shows, competitive program or extreme sports. Also great for huge dramatic, frightening or conquering moments. Mixed Vocals, Action, Intense Orchestral
A cheerful, charming tune inspired by the Western genre soundtracks of the 1960's. Clip-clopping percussion & electric guitar play with a warm harmonica melody coming to a full orchestral & choral climax. More "Paint Your Wagon" than "A Fist Full of Dollars." A classic, singing cowboy kind of track. Mixed Vocals, Dramatic, Happy Music
A shimmering, choir and gently pulsing electronics lead to a chorus including drums & bass. A short, peaceful interlude follows followed by another small drum and bass climax to the end. Repetitive, and keeping the positive mood with a slight build and easy to edit. Female Vocals, Corporate, Corporate Ambient

Cool, rhythmic verses lead to a big, full chorus and a bridge that both percolates and bursts with energy. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Rocktronica
