"Tempting Secrets"

Instruments: Strings, Flute, Choir

Feel: Dark, Epic, Uplifting, Somber

Starts with a big hit, and then a steady string drone with a beautiful flute line on top. Choirs kick in 2/3 of the way to bring up the mood. You can purchase the uncompressed AIFF files of this here. (10 different files x 2 formats each)

"Dark Fog"

Instruments: Synths, Percussion

Feel: Dark, Grooving, Intense, Somber

The title refers to a state of mind more than a physical thing. That sort of feeling you get when there are choices to be made... none of them very good ones.

"Plaint"

Instruments: Bassoon, Harp

Feel: Calming, Dark, Somber

Slow moving piece for bassoon (very high on the instrument) and harp. Works very well behind dialog, and gives a sense of grief.

Instruments: Uilleann pipes, Percussion

Feel: Dark, Somber

It has Uilleann pipes, and is dark and somber. Not sure what else I can say about this.

"Gypsy Shoegazer"

Instruments: Percussion, Voice, Guitar, Trombone

Feel: Calming, Dark, Eerie, Somber

No, I don't know what this is. Some sort of Bulgarian dirge? It has a good 2-part folk melody that is pretty easy to sing, and a wonderful B section with super cadences at the middle and end.Sheet music for the voices available here.

"Gypsy Shoegazer No Voices"

Instruments: Percussion, Piano, Trombone

Feel: Calming, Dark, Eerie, Somber

No, I don't know what this is. Same as Gypsy Shoegazer, but without the vocal parts... in case you want to add you own vocal parts. Sheet music for the voices available here.

"Oppressive Gloom"

Instruments: Strings, Bass Clarinet, Percussion

Feel: Dark, Eerie, Epic, Mysterious, Somber, Suspenseful

Moody moody dark score. Almost a death march. Loops pretty darned well - but you need to trim the end.

"Crusade"

Instruments: French Horns, Trombones, Percussion, Trumpets

Feel: Dark, Epic, Somber, Suspenseful

Written as travelling music for a video game... this is probably a bit too active for that. There is a beautiful choral section in the trombones at 2:18. Good anvils.
