LMH Mixtape #292: Orchestral Music

About this episode

This episode focuses on orchestral music in video games, exploring its emotional impact and various instrumental elements.

Surprisingly, until this point, The Legacy Music Hour had never done an episode focused on orchestral music.  They'd done some RPG episodes, and that could almost count, but not really.  Whether quiet and peaceful or loud and bombastic, orchestral music can really help set the tone for an emotional scene or an all out brawl.  We've got woodwind, string, brass and percussion
