For Originz

Genre: Contemporary
Length: 3:39
Instruments: Strings, Choir, Percussion
Tempo: 55

Heavy strings play several chords before a violin enters with a sliding melody, in tandem with a woman’s voice and flute. The bass drums are barely perceptible, but accentuate the orchestra as the three melodic personalities float amongst the music. The music is full of wonder and power, and ends in a strong chord, evoking a connection with nature. 045 Bright, Calming, Mystical, Relaxed 2010

Ripples

Genre: World

This is my first one, and the sound selections are all amiable. I am unsure of the genre. Trance? 018 Mysterious, Mystical, Grooving 2004
