Dramatic Ostinato Underscore

“Ostinato” is the fancy musical term for a repeating musical phrase or rhythm, derived from the Italian word for “stubborn”. But neither of those fun facts are helpful to your project. This collection of classical cues, each of which centers around a building musical motif, add a subtle feeling of rising stakes, suspense, or tension beneath your scene. The emotions are conveyed within the elegance and implied prestige of orchestral music, making it well suited to scoring period dramas and other somber or earnest stories.
