Cattails "Cattails" Instruments: Banjo, Accordion, Guitar, Erhu, Violins Feel: Bouncy, Calming, Relaxed An acoustic guitar and a banjo create a drifting lull as an accordion and erhu play a languid melody. The accordion is slightly forceful, while the tremolo of the erhu is uncertain, creating an intertwined dialogue of two vastly different characters. The piece is calm and pensive, with subtle notes of East Asian and Country Western influences.

Villainous Treachery "Villainous Treachery" Instruments: Piano Feel: Dark, Intense The melody for this piece is in the bass keys, while the high notes play a headache-splitting constant rhythm. At the one-minute mark the high-pitched notes drop several octaves to play a crunched staccato before returning to the previous theme. The last thirty seconds feature drawn out chords, and the tempo slows dramatically, ending with frustrated trills in both registers, signaling the demise of the villain.

Iron Horse - Distressed "Iron Horse - Distressed" Instruments: Piano Feel: Dark, Driving, Intense Darkly plodding, this staccato piano piece is the tense setting for the classic silent film scene: the heroine is tied to the train tracks, the steam engine train plugging along towards her. The chug-a-chug feel is maintained by a tense hammering of the chords in triplets, depicting machinery or chaos set in motion without an end in sight.

Rites "Rites" Instruments: Voice, Pipe Organ Feel: Dark, Mysterious, Mystical Heavy and deep, the chords of this piece resemble Gregorian Chanting with resounding reverb as a harp plucks a few solitary notes. The music evokes an ancient ritual or ceremony, but could also be used for a tragic medieval funeral. ISRC: USUAN1100722 Genre: Soundtrack Length: 2:07 Download "Rites" as mp3 Get it from iTunes!

Pop Goes the Weasel "Pop Goes the Weasel" Instruments: Strings, Percussion, Toy Piano Feel: Dark, Eerie, Intense, Unnerving Heavy bass drums and an string bass set the tone for this dark and menacing tone. The familiar refrain then plays, but is made expressive and almost violent as it is played on several string basses and cellos. The pace is rather quick and forceful, and after the quick ending, a jack-in-the-box plays, normally child-like, but made creepy because of the sinister music that came before.

Court of the Queen "Court of the Queen" Instruments: Strings, Brass, Percussion, Celeste Feel: Bright, Relaxed Slow Waltz. English Waltz. Foxtrot. Slow Fox. Regal in its construction, this waltz is meant for the ballroom floor of a grand soiree. The pizzicato strings provide the rhythm in the first half, while strings and horns play the melody. A harp accompanies a celeste in creating transitions between segments of the music. As the music crescendos into the third minute, the frivolity turns more serious, and the piece ends with a few interchangeable chords between the celeste and the horns.

Rains Will Fall "Rains Will Fall" Instruments: Piano, Kit, Strings Feel: Calming, Somber, Uplifting Slow Waltz. English Waltz. Foxtrot. Slow Fox. The piano plays a mournful, waltzing melody, while strings enter gently. Halfway into the second minute, the tone is more hopeful, but then returns to the sadness of the introduction. Just before the third minute ends the hope returns, but melts again into sadness with the final high note of the piano. This is music for a rainy day, or when the hero to a story has lost his way.

Failing Defense "Failing Defense" Instruments: Brass, Percussion, Xylophone, Strings Feel: Action, Aggressive, Intense, Suspenseful This piece begins immediately with horn blasts, strings, and a bone-jangling xylophone. After the brief intro the horns play a melody, then the horns drop away away except tribal drums and staccato string bursts. The music returns in a big way, suggestive of a tense battle, as the instruments compete against each other, until the rapid discordant end.
