Typical of film music is that music a) creates a functional and substantial reinforcement of the pictures, or b) assumes an emotional lead role. In contrast to a book, where it is possible for the author to prepare scenes, emotions, moods, etc. throughout several pages, the film director often has only a few minutes for this. Film music helps, therefore, to support the plots development at the mood and emotional levels. Here, the style or arrangement play less of a role.

A piano solo that starts peacefully and delicately before rising to an emotional crescendo, then dropping back to a serene finish. An atmospheric piece that showcases Chopin's mastery of the piano.
A happy, bright and delightful track featuring classical music elements and piano lead. Joyful, positive outlook, success / victory / achievement / celebration. Aspirations, reaching for goals. Also good for news update / weather update / market update, etc.
Epic orchestral soundtrack with a powerful driving groove that relentlessly pushes forward creating a feeling of extreme intensity and urgency. Featuring cinematic trailer-esque style production with an exciting, suspenseful buildup to a strong dramatic climax. Good for sports and action sequences.
Dramatic spaghetti-western guitar tune with trumpet and orchestra. Dark and sad.
Full low orchestra+sci -fi fx, lots of mechanical fills, dominant sub
Graceful, Relaxing
A melodic orchestral theme with a percussive, upbeat, and celebratory feel. This piece hearkens back to the cowboy themes of the Golden Age of Hollywood Western movies. The piece would work well as a title track or main theme for a Western themed production, or in a scene featuring celebration or revelry.
Godfather inspired haunting melody evoking a sad and nostalgic, poignant mood. Played on trumpet accompanied by acoustic guitar in waltz time with accordion interweaving a counter-melody. Perfect fit for Italo-American themed productions and more.
A romantic reflective Irish song. Featuring flute, penny-whistle and cello.
A fast, dramatic and energetic end to the famous Moonlight Sonata. The third movement moves along at a great pace, (presto agitato - which means fast, in a hurry and agitated). The pianist gives a fantastic rendition of this high tempo work. The Piano Sonata No. 14 op. 27 no. 2 in C sharp minor by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1801, is also known as the Moonlight Sonata. Beethoven himself gave his work the nickname Sonata quasi una Fantasia ("... quasi a fantasy"). The term "Fantasia" refers to the unusual sequence of movements of the sonata. This explains the untypical tempos of the respective movements for the conventional sonata form. The work does not have a first (fast) movement in sonata form, which sonatas of this period usually contain. It begins with an Adagio, followed by a more lively Allegretto with Trio, followed by a fast, highly dramatic Finale, which has the structure of a sonata-form. What is striking here is that the tempo increases from movement to movement. Franz Liszt characterized the piece by describing the second movement as "a flower between two abysses".
The second Gnossienne has the instruction, 'avec ?tonnement', (with astonishment), to instruct the player to play slightly faster than the other two pieces. Still has lots of space and freedom of expression.
