Epic/Trailer Music Genre Topic

Here's a fun question. Have you ever listened to a movie trailer, fell in love with the song, and then watched the movie only to discover that the song was nowhere in it? Have you ever wondered what in the world happened to those lovely pieces of music when they're no longer being used in a movie?

What would you say if I told you that there was a magical place where all of the music from movie trailers frolicked together?! This place is called "Trailer Music" or "Epic Music". If you like classical music, but you sometimes get tired of endless Beethoven, Mozart, and other guys that are a little dead, then Epic Music is the future that you have been hoping for.

Now, have some random epic music from a few of the most popular composers -

Great topic! I love trailer music. A lot of songs I like came from watching movie trailers.

[spoiler=Rise of the Avenger]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF-gEn6JVXo

This is quite a popular Brand X song you'll hear often.

Can't talk about trailer music without mentioning Immediate Music and their most overused song of all time.

[spoiler=Casino Royale]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afVq5jB-F-w

Another very common theme by Pfeifer Broz. Music you could find in any post-Die Another Day James Bond trailer (be it video game or movie).

[spoiler=Nature Boy]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UId41fRHvkA

An appropriately haunting piece by Aurora found in Alien: Covenant's trailer.

[spoiler=Thousand Eyes]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ2qoiB0GtE

The song by the famous Of Monsters And Men from the Jessica Jones trailer. The song made the trailer catch my immediate attention and got me to watch this amazing show. There are no regrets.

I used to listen to a playlist on some music streaming service (not Spotify. I honestly can't remember what, but I think they got merged into Google Music or whatever it's called) that was all trailer music. I really liked it. I would alternate between that and a classical playlist
