Orchestral scene matcher · pick your video
What orchestral sound does your scene need?
A real orchestra is a whole palette — an epic trailer build, a tender solo piano, a majestic documentary swell. Pick the scene you’re scoring and we’ll match the mood, the real instrumentation and how to place it, then find the track below.
Trailer / title / launch film
Mood
Epic and building — a slow burn to a huge brass-and-percussion climax
Real instrumentation
Full orchestra, low brass, taiko & percussion, choir, string ostinato
How to place it
Start sparse under the logo, add a rising string ostinato, then land the hit on your title card or product reveal.
Why it works
A real orchestra at full tilt is the sound of scale — it makes a launch feel like an event, not an upload.
The orchestral scoring cheat-sheet
| What are you scoring? | Mood | Real instrumentation | How to place it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trailer / title / launch film | Epic and building — a slow burn to a huge brass-and-percussion climax | Full orchestra, low brass, taiko & percussion, choir, string ostinato | Start sparse under the logo, add a rising string ostinato, then land the hit on your title card or product reveal. |
| Film scene / narrative underscore | Cinematic and emotional — it moves with the story, never on top of it | Strings, woodwinds, solo piano, French horn | Sit it low under dialogue; let a solo cello or piano carry the turn, then swell the strings on the emotional beat. |
| Documentary / nature / history | Majestic and spacious — reflective, with room to breathe | Sustained strings, solo violin or cello, harp, gentle horns | Hold long sustains under landscape and archival footage; drop to a single solo line for the intimate, human moment. |
| TV / online commercial / ad | Elegant and uplifting — polished, brand-safe, memorable | Warm strings, light orchestra, piano, subtle percussion | Build gently toward the product moment and land a clean cadence on the logo or pack shot. |
| Corporate / brand / image film | Refined and confident — forward-moving, premium, never cheesy | Measured orchestra, piano and strings, light rhythmic pulse | Run a steady, optimistic bed under narration and interviews; lift the orchestration for the vision or results section. |
| Wedding / love story / emotional milestone | Romantic and tender — timeless, intimate, unhurried | Solo piano, string quartet or section, solo violin, adagio strings | Lay a gentle piano or adagio under the vows and slow-motion; swell the strings for the first dance or the reveal. |
| Luxury / prestige / fashion | Sophisticated and opulent — restrained, expensive-sounding, poised | Chamber strings, harp, solo piano, refined woodwinds | Keep it sparse and elegant under slow, deliberate visuals; let space and a single line do the work. |
What is cinematic music — and how do you license it?
Cinematic music is the big, emotional, film-score sound — soaring strings, brass, percussion and choir that make a trailer feel like an event and an ad feel expensive. To use it commercially you need a licence covering both the composition and the recording. Most “cinematic” stock is AI-generated or built from MIDI-only libraries; Artyfile records its own cinematic and epic scores with real orchestras and licenses them directly — sync and master together, cleared worldwide and for life from €29.90, with a certificate as proof.
A real orchestra, produced like a film score
Artyfile's orchestral catalog is recorded by world-class ensembles and musicians at world-class studios like Abbey Road Studios, curated by composer and conductor Paul Lorenz (30 years, 500M+ streams), who has worked with the London Symphony Orchestra — the LSO recorded his Violin Concerto No. 2 at Abbey Road. They are made the way modern film scores are made: a real orchestra in a real room, finished with professional studio craft. That is the weight and humanity you can hear — real strings, real brass, a real choir — that AI-generated tracks and MIDI-only libraries cannot fake. For a trailer, a launch film or a title sequence, a genuine orchestral performance is the difference between “templated” and “cinema”. Looking for the classical repertoire specifically? See classical & orchestral music; scoring a full film? music for film; a trailer? trailer music licensing.
Can I use cinematic music on YouTube, in ads and in trailers?
Yes — when it’s licensed. Artyfile’s tracks are registered in YouTube Content ID with a monetize policy, so a claim may appear — but it is not a copyright strike: your video stays online and your channel stays safe. With Basic, ad revenue claimed for the music goes to Artyfile, not to your channel. YouTube Shorts follow the same claim logic — since 24 September 2026, Shorts of one to three minutes with an active claim are no longer blocked automatically. One flat licence covers monetised YouTube, TV and streaming ads, paid social campaigns, cinema trailers, festivals and client work — worldwide and in perpetuity.
What it costs — buy once, own the licence
Artyfile Basic is a one-time €29.90 per track: a lifetime, worldwide synchronization and master-use licence for film, advertising, social, broadcast and streaming. No subscription, no per-project fees. Subscription libraries clear you only while you keep paying, and a single trailer or broadcast cue from a traditional library or sync house often runs into the hundreds or thousands — Artyfile’s flat one-time licence undercuts them and is yours to keep. Instant studio-grade 44.1 kHz WAV, with an invoice and licence certificate. See full pricing & licences.
License it — or own it and earn
Stock libraries only rent you music. Artyfile lets you go further: with a Limited Edition (€69.90 per 1% master share) you own 1–10% of a master, entered as a numbered share in Artyfile’s ownership register, and share in its worldwide streaming, Content ID and sync revenue — not guaranteed and may be zero. Use the music safely, or own a piece of it — no other cinematic library offers both.
How it's made
A real orchestra. At Abbey Road. For your video.
Artyfile’s orchestral recordings begin where the great film scores do — real players in a real room. Our flagship is Paul Lorenz’s Violin Concerto No. 2, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios; the wider catalogue is played by the Artyfile Orchestra, world-class session musicians at studios like Abbey Road. Every recording is then finished with the professional studio craft used on modern film scores. That is the depth and humanity AI-generated music and MIDI-only libraries cannot fake — and, unlike AI tracks, every recording carries clear human authorship and fully documented rights you can license with confidence.

Frequently asked questions
What is cinematic music and where can I license it?
Cinematic music is the film-score sound — orchestral, emotional, trailer-scale. To use it commercially you need a licence for both the composition and the recording. Artyfile records its own cinematic and epic scores with real orchestras — its orchestral catalog is recorded by world-class ensembles and musicians at world-class studios like Abbey Road Studios — and licenses them directly, sync and master cleared worldwide and for life, from a one-time €29.90.
Can I use cinematic music on YouTube, in ads and in trailers?
Yes — if the recording is licensed. Artyfile clears sync and master together and registers its catalogue in Content ID with a monetize policy: a claim may appear, but it is not a copyright strike and your video stays online (with Basic, ad revenue claimed for the music goes to Artyfile). One licence covers monetised YouTube, TV and streaming ads, paid social, cinema trailers, festivals and client work, worldwide and for life.
Where can I find real-orchestra cinematic and epic music (not AI)?
At Artyfile. Artyfile's orchestral catalog is recorded by world-class ensembles and musicians at world-class studios like Abbey Road Studios — real recordings, not AI-generated stock or a MIDI-only library, produced to film-score standard and cleared for worldwide commercial use.
How much does it cost to license cinematic or epic music for a trailer or broadcast?
Artyfile Basic is a one-time €29.90 per track with lifetime, worldwide sync rights for film, advertising, trailers, social and broadcast — no subscription and no per-project quote. A single trailer or broadcast cue from a traditional library or sync house often runs into the hundreds or thousands; Artyfile’s flat one-time licence undercuts that and comes with a licence certificate. Some premium recordings carry individual pricing shown on the track.
How is Artyfile different from a subscription library like Epidemic or Artlist?
A subscription only rents you music — it clears your videos while you pay, and if you cancel, new uploads lose their cover. Artyfile is a one-time €29.90 licence you keep for life, worldwide, with a licence certificate as proof — and with a Limited Edition (€69.90 per 1% master share) you can own a share of the master and share in its revenue, which is not guaranteed and may be zero.
Is the music AI-generated?
No. Every cinematic and epic track is performed by real musicians and curated by composer and conductor Paul Lorenz, who has worked with the London Symphony Orchestra. Unlike AI-generated stock (Suno, Udio) or a MIDI-only library, the recordings have clear human authorship and fully documented rights, which is what makes them safe to license commercially.
Do I have to pay GEMA or collection-society fees?
No additional ones. Sync and master rights are managed directly by Artyfile, so there are no extra GEMA or collection-society fees on your licence. The catalogue is registered with GEMA for worldwide monitoring, but the licensing runs directly through Artyfile — and a live public performance stays a separate matter the venue or organiser settles, as with any music.
