Royalty Free Timpani Music

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.

Urban orchestral hybrid track. Aggressive string ostinato mixes with a modern hip hop beat and synth textures for a powerful, punchy track that's both cinematic and dramatic. Well paced with constant movement from the beat, and variety from the interplay between orchestra, synth and percussion, it's a dynamic piece with a feeling of strength and determnation.

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.

Dramatic news headline music. Slightly intense, with an urgent rhythmic pace, it blends the modern digital world of busy synth themes with the classic professional and serious influences of the epic orchestra to prepare you for the ongoing journalistic values of the day.

Action/fantasy hybrid orchestral track. Fast, skittish passages contrast with sweeping legato for a dynamic and fast moving feel, further helped by a dramatic percussive beat. Highly charged and tense throughout, only pausing for breath at the midpoint and the outro, it sets a mysterious, nervous mood full of cinematic suspense.

Inspirational theme with a full cinematic hit. Starting with an Aboriginal flavour for a sense of vast, faraway lands, it's soon transformed into an epic orchestral piece, full of drama and tension through percussive hits, brass swells and string ostinato. Grand and majestic with an adventurous, action filled undertone, it also hits the inspirational and awesome buttons.

Epic symphonic track. Packed with action, intensity and a strong battle feel, it uses string ostinato and lots of snare percussion to generate a dramatic and, at times, chaotic ambience. Split into 2 halves to allow for a dynamic change and subsequent build up, the heroic brass adds tension thoughout under the screaming violins and relentless basses. Tense, bold and soaked in impending doom.

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.

Enchanting orchestral piece. A calm and relaxing piano intro builds through light strings and brass into a fairytale of regal elegance, further enhanced by the spirited glockenspiel. Brass fanfares, sweeping strings, fast violin motifs, timpani and percussion all create a ceremonial feel to this grand, uplifting track. 3 distinct sections give variety to the music, ending with a classic fanfare.

Triumphant orchestral track. Pounding percussion and majestic brass themes mix with fast ostinato and sweeping legato string melodies for a heroic and inspiring piece. Powerful, glorious and uplifiting.

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. Dramatic and getting ever more intense, it's sole purpose is to bulldozer on to its climax - a symphonic, gritty drop to finalise the action.

Beautifully inspirational track full of cinematic drama. A simple start of broken piano chords under string harmonics tells us this is no action epic, rather a brooding slab of minimalist intensity designed to evoke a sincere and heartfelt reaction. Rich strings led by a pleading cello line support the solid piano as the uplifting theme expands and contracts, returning to it's original peaceful state. A slow burner in the best possible way.

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.

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.

Spiritual, religious and inspirational christian music with a dramatic climax. Hallelujah, darkness becomes light.

A fun orchestral track for the Christmas period. Striking a triumphant mood, it remains light through the instrumentation, using glockenspiel as the lead melody maker supported by string shorts. Not to say it can't generate a level of epic befitting the holidays though - marching snare drum and faster string ostinato drive the piece forward, harp glissandi add fantasy elements, and a choir backing lifts the whole piece to a wholesome and fulfilling finale. Playful and festive.

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.
