Epic Minimal Orchestral

It sounds kind of crazy when you say it out loud... how is something epic AND minimal? But you know it when you hear it: solo strings playing a solemn but beautiful melody. Reverb-drenched guitar endlessly ringing out over subtle orchestral underscore. The quiet intensity of a classical quartet or trio. In short- if you can imagine it playing under drone shots of a national park, it probably got onto this playlist. Some of these royalty free music masterpieces will remind you of Max Richter.  Others will evoke Jóhann Jóhannsson.  It’s a varied collection of music that is  perfect for documentaries, serious dramas, or anything where your producer is asking for something “big but understated”.
