Dramatic Orchestral Underscores

This anxiety-inducing collection of dramatic orchestral underscores is equally suited for powerful moments in period and contemporary dramas, pulling emotional depth from a blend of soaring brass melodies, sharp string ostinatos, and percolating, light electronic percussion, evoking conflict, urgency, suspense, and a morose determination.
