Vienna Instruments Horizon Series Epic Horns

Free Download 

Big, broad sounds from the biggest horn ensemble ever created.

The Vienna Symphonic Library Horizon Series Epic Horns features 8 double horns with a vast array of expressions from subtle atmospheres and solemn, ceremonious, and majestic performances to bombastic dashing bursts. The Epic Horns are the key ingredient for achieving the sound of oversized late Romantic orchestras as well as modern Hollywood orchestras. Repetitions, an often used style in horn ensemble arrangements, sound amazingly impressive and absolutely realistic when played with the Performance Tool, without a trace of the machine-gun effect you usually hear with repeated notes. The Vienna Symphonic Library expertly draws the subtle, sophisticated Performance Elements from these sometimes extremely loud instruments.
