Orchestral Music for Video
Recorded at Abbey Road
The London Symphony Orchestra. Studio One at Abbey Road. Captured in 44.1kHz WAV and available from €29.90 per track. Lifetime worldwide sync rights. No subscription. No compromise.
What Is Orchestral Music for Video?
Orchestral music for video refers to professionally composed and performed symphonic recordings designed for synchronisation with visual media. From sweeping film scores and documentary underscores to corporate brand films and cinematic trailers, orchestral music is the sonic language of authority, drama, and emotional depth. It is the most sought-after genre in production music, commanding the highest per-track premiums across the industry.
Artyfile delivers orchestral music at a level that was previously accessible only to major studio productions. Every track features live performances by the London Symphony Orchestra, recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London. Available from €29.90 per track with lifetime worldwide sync rights and no subscription. For those seeking more than a licence, Artyfile Limited Edition offers actual ownership shares in the master rights from €96.90, turning your music budget into a revenue-generating asset.

Why Sample Libraries Can Never Match a Real Orchestra
The difference between a sampled orchestra and a live ensemble is not subtle. It is the difference between a photograph of fire and fire itself.
Synthetic Sound on Cinema Speakers
Sample libraries trigger pre-recorded individual notes via software. They lack the natural bow pressure variations, breathing rhythms, and ensemble interplay that define a live orchestral performance. On cinema-grade speaker systems, the difference is immediately audible.
Per-Use Licensing Costs Thousands
Traditional orchestral licensing from broadcast libraries like APM Music or Audio Network operates on territory-based rate cards. A single orchestral cue for a national commercial can cost $2,499 or more, with separate fees for each broadcast territory and platform.
Subscription Libraries Lack Orchestral Depth
Platforms like Artlist and Epidemic Sound offer vast libraries, but their orchestral content is predominantly hybrid compositions built on sample instruments. Genuine live orchestral recordings by world-class ensembles are not part of their catalogue.
The Artyfile Orchestral Collection: London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road
The same orchestra and studio behind the scores of Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter. Now accessible from €29.90.
Genuine London Symphony Orchestra
Full symphonic sections performing in Studio One at Abbey Road Studios. Live strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion with the acoustic signature of the world's most legendary recording space. No MIDI. No approximations. The real instrument, played by the real musician, in the real room.

From Film Trailers to Wedding Videos: Orchestral Music for Every Story

The Human Performance Premium: Real Musicians, Verified Provenance
As AI-generated music saturates the lower end of the market, the value of verified human performance has never been higher. Audiences, brands, and film festivals increasingly demand proof that the music they hear was created by real musicians in real studios.
Every Artyfile orchestral track carries the provenance of the London Symphony Orchestra and Abbey Road Studios. This is not a marketing claim. It is a verifiable fact, documented from the recording session to the final master. In an age of synthetic approximation, authenticity is the ultimate competitive advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I license real orchestral music for my video?
Artyfile is the only platform offering genuine orchestral recordings by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios with a one-time purchase model. Tracks start at €29.90 and include lifetime worldwide sync rights for film, ads, YouTube, social media, and broadcast. No subscription required.
How much does orchestral music licensing cost?
Traditional orchestral licensing ranges from $99 to $2,499+ per use depending on scope and territory. Custom orchestral scoring costs $25,000 to $150,000+ per session. Artyfile offers an alternative: €29.90 per track with perpetual worldwide sync rights, or €96.90 for a Limited Edition that includes master rights ownership and quarterly royalty payouts.
What is the difference between orchestral samples and live orchestral recordings?
Orchestral samples are pre-recorded individual notes triggered by software, lacking the natural dynamics, room acoustics, and ensemble interplay of a live performance. Live orchestral recordings, like those from Artyfile recorded at Abbey Road Studios with the London Symphony Orchestra, capture the full sonic depth of a real performance including bow pressure variations, breath resonance, and the acoustic signature of Studio One.
Can I use orchestral music on YouTube without copyright strikes?
Yes, with a valid sync licence. Artyfile provides worldwide sync rights with every purchase. Artyfile uses YouTube Content ID to manage rights. Buyers receive full clearance while the platform collects and redistributes advertising revenue to Limited Edition rights holders. No strikes, no takedowns.
Does the licence cover film, ads, games, and social media?
Yes. Every Artyfile purchase includes lifetime worldwide sync rights covering all use cases: film, trailers, documentaries, commercials, corporate videos, wedding films, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, broadcast, video games, and presentations. One licence, every platform, no territorial restrictions.
How does Artyfile Limited Edition ownership work?
Artyfile Limited Edition includes full sync rights plus a 1% ownership share in the music master rights, secured as a Music NFT on the Ethereum blockchain. Owners earn quarterly royalties from global streaming revenues and sync licensing fees. Shares can be traded or transferred at any time. Payment in EUR, USD, or GBP. No cryptocurrency required.
Is Artyfile orchestral music registered with collection societies?
Artyfile music is registered with GEMA and all other collecting societies for worldwide monitoring. However, sync rights and master rights are managed directly by Artyfile, independently of GEMA. Buyers deal with one source and pay no additional collection society fees.
What makes Artyfile orchestral music different from stock music libraries?
Stock libraries rely predominantly on MIDI-programmed and sample-based approximations of orchestral sound. Artyfile offers genuine live recordings by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios, delivered in 44.1kHz WAV format. Combined with an ownership model where buyers can acquire master rights shares, Artyfile transforms music licensing from an expense into a revenue-generating asset.
