Brooding Symphony

*This short clip is part of my Slew of Snippets series.

This dark, moody, brooding score piece was actually a sound test I ran with Apple's Symphony Orchestra sample pack, but it ended up as a halfway-decent thing on its own. Tension builds in the percussion and string sections until the horns burst out in an almost Batman-like bridge. This piece is simple but gritty and effective.

Instrumentation includes symphony string section, grand piano, percussion, french horns, snare, and timpani. A nice pick for a tense, dramatic atmosphere and climax.
