This week’s selection combines contemporary drums and guitar, orchestral strings, and the ubiquitous french horn section. The overall flavor is a mix of heroism with a touch of modernistic moodiness.

The Last Highway | |
This week’s cue is melancholy, but a jaunty sort of melancholy. Piano and strings create a mood that’s both wry and wistful.

Morning on the Highway | |
This choral/orchestral piece accompanies a cut-scene in Empire Earth 2 wherein the historical Knights Templar are cast in an ominous light. The lyrics are a twisted take on Kyrie Eleison; while the chorus starts with the conventional words, the basses and tenors, singing in counterpoint, switch to Ohi Eleison – “No Mercy”.
Performance by the Budapest Film Orchestra and Chorus.
