Cinematic Moments Vol. 03
Twelve quiet moments.
Music box, harp and strings.
Twelve small cinematic cues written out as MIDI, five to twelve parts each. A music box, a harp, a celesta and pizzicato strings carry most of them, with flute, oboe and clarinet over the top. Written to sit under a scene rather than lead it.

Cinematic Moments Vol. 03
Twelve moments.
Small on purpose.
This is the quiet end of the category. Sketch 07 runs five parts over sixteen bars; the biggest here is twelve. The writing leaves room, which is what makes these usable under dialogue or behind a slow shot.
A music box opens five of the twelve and a harp or celesta carries several more. Pizzicato violas and full pizzicato strings do the walking, legato violins and violas hold the line, and flute, piccolo, oboe and clarinet sit on top. One sketch adds choir.
Lengths vary more than in the other boxes: eight, nine, ten, twelve and sixteen bars, from 86 to 151 BPM. Each sketch is one MIDI file with its parts on separate tracks and its own tempo written in.

Leading parts are the three carrying the most notes in that sketch. Two things to know before you import: every file carries a long stretch of empty bars after the music, so trim the region to the last note, and sketch 09 starts at bar 11 rather than bar 1. Each sketch ships an MP3 preview of 20 to 34 seconds; the previews are reference only and are not licensed for release.
Your DAW. Your libraries.
Any DAW
The files are plain type 1 MIDI with every part on its own named track. Drag one onto your timeline in Cubase, Logic, Studio One, Reaper, Ableton or anything else that reads MIDI. There is no installer, no sampler to buy and no licence to activate.
Any library
The parts carry notes and velocities, not keyswitches, so nothing is tied to one developer. These sketches are written thin, so a chamber library or a handful of solo instruments serves them as well as a full scoring template.

Ready for commercial projects.
Use the MIDI in your own personal and commercial music. Reselling or redistributing the MIDI in any form is prohibited. Read the license.
Each sketch carries its own tempo, so your project follows the file. Every file also carries empty bars after the music; trim the region to the last note once it is on your timeline.
