1) “Pines of the Appian Way” – Apollo Symphony Orchestra
This is actually a 1924 symphonic work by the Italian composer Ottorino Respighi. What most video editors often overlook when listening to this six-minute piece is the gloriously huge ending. The last two minutes is the kind of music played at the very end of a sci-fi epic when everyone is basking in ass-kicking they just wholly delivered. For your convenience, yours truly just edited out the beginning section so you can feel the Olympian vibes right away.
2.“Pop Walk” – Dewey Dellay
This track sets wonderfully under voice over and can sell anything from anti-depressants to mattress pads. An annoyingly happy female voice cascades over jangly guitars but not before a team-player synth intro cedes a few seconds of the spotlight to something said…something shown… and something heavily advertised.
3. “Big Power Pop Anthem” – Bobby Cole
The perfect soundtrack for an iPad spot. It’s the production music equivalent of a starry-eyed actor that’s only been in Hollywood for one week – lots of innocence, lots of energy, a few years behind the latest fashions, but already starting to pick up the local lingo.
4. “Hey Hey Hey” – Rachel Fine
What makes this indie vocal track so perfect for a make-up or fashion spot is its firm individuality. The tempo is slowish mid tempo but the attitude is full-on urban girl power. Rachel Fine just released her album Own Your Own on Sunset Records.
5. “Ole” – Vince Varco
Admittedly, this is a pretty niche track. It is the quintessential tex-mex track resplendent with male vocal hollering, aggressive flamenco guitar and more percussion instruments than an Orff clinic.
It’s a privilege to carry such professional and high-quality tracks in our library. We love our musician community!
