I can imagine this being played in the throne room scene from Star Wars: A New Hope

Hi I work at a small museum for their social media team and was wondering if I could use this in one of our videos

Classy work as always Ben! I figured this library would be around your alley ;)

This is a collection of selected pieces I have composed as official sample library demos. Included are demos created for products by Orchestral Tools, Musical Sampling, and Embertone.

Sample Library Demos

This set was primarily composed with: "Forgotten Voices: Cait" - a virtual instrument by www.8dio.com - all demos composed by Troels Folmann, Frederick Russ and Alex Pfeffer

8Dio Hybrid Tools 1: "Time Travel To A Future Planet" (dressed) by Bill Brown

This epic track I wrote as a demo for Orchestral Tools' new, monumentally loud sample library, Metropolis Ark 1. Everything you hear in this track is from Metropolis Ark 1--everything. I cannot wait to blend this library with the other instruments in my template... :)

LICENSE

Into the Nebula (Official Metropolis Ark 1 Demo - Lib Only)

To access and study the MIDI from this VST-ONLY track, check out the MIDI Study pack for this piece, which comes with MIDI (and Cubase Files--bonus if you're a Cubase user), reference audio, and a multi-page PDF for guided composition and orchestration instruction and assignments. https://store.fortecomposeracademy.com/midi-study-pack-1-commanding-the-fleet

I wrote this adventurous track as a demo for Musical Sampling's debut sample library, "Soaring Strings," which has won a spot in my template due to it's ease of use, solid sound, and the most fluid, agile legatos I've ever used. Programming and performing with this library is remarkably easy--there are a few spots in this track where the melody line remains almost untouched since my first pass at inputting it via keyboard and modwheel. With a ridiculously low retail price of $249 (and an introductory price of $199) this library demands a look: http://www.musicalsampling.com/soaring-strings/

Also used in this piece:

Berlin Woodwinds Main and Ex B
Berlin Percussion
Metropolis Ark 1 (choirs + brass)
Cinebrass Core 
CinePerc Core (timpani)
Hollywood Brass (6horns legato)
Spitfire Harp

Commanding the Fleet (Soaring Strings Demo)

This heroic march is an official demo I wrote for Musical Sampling's latest brass library, "Adventure Brass." The library is very athletic and playable--making it a joy to work with. Check it out here: http://www.musicalsampling.com/adventure-brass/

I will also note that all the strings in the first 2/3 of the piece are from Musical Sampling's recent "Soaring Strings" library. The shorter string articulations in the last 1/3 of the piece are from Berlin Strings. 

Woodwinds: Berlin Woodwinds. 
Perc: Berlin Percussion and CinePerc Core
Choir: Metropolis Ark 1

Here is the result of our most recent live streaming session on writing an Epic Fantasy Video Game Main Theme.
The track is called Legend of Greymoor and I have been inspired by Elder Scrolls Online to write it.

This track is not related to the video game itself!

You can get full access to the track, stems, MIDI, and the Cubase session itself on my Patreon account.

You can also get the track here on Bandcamp:
