Prologue - choral fantasy theme
Added 2022-09-30 15:07:11 +0000 UTC"Darkness lay upon the world like a shroud and the light that broke it was but a thin, feeble thing. Age upon age came and went and no change marked their passing; the world was still and grey, formless and dead. And then, at last, the gods took pity."
Hey folks,
Today's track is heavily inspired by the opening music from Howard Shore's Lord of the Rings soundtrack, specifically the opening scenes. It uses male and female choir to create a solemn vibe, with some percussion, strings, and brass thrown in there for good measure. It's more of a 'theme' that background music, so maybe best used at the beginning of a campaign when you're describing the world to your players.
Alternate Tracks
Two alternate tracks for this release:
- Dramatic: This is actually the original version of the track I wrote, which has much more dramatic volume / intensity shifts from section to section. Specifically there's a huge dramatic shift into mega-intense choir in the second to last section!
- Slower: This one is much slower, and I've added in some additional reverb for a more atmospheric feel. More suitable for general background use.
I've attached previews of these tracks to this post.
