What is Epic Music?

Epic Music is a genre of movie trailer music that originated in the United States. A genre born in the 1990s, it is often used in commercials, movie trailers, game trailers, drama trailers, as well as TV background music and radio. The music is produced by creators who have a background in classical music, making the most of the characteristics of the song, such as grandeur and solemnity. This genre is not well known because it is not often sold to the general public through record companies. However, since it is so widely used in video productions, there are probably many people who have heard the sound itself. The genre is pervasive in North America and Europe. We also have production companies in Australia, South Africa and Israel. There are only distributors in Asia, and it is hardly recognized.

Production Music Library

Epic Music’s business model is similar to that of Production Music Library. The Production Music Library prepares a large number of songs in advance, and asks CM, TV, movie, game companies, etc. to use the songs and receive usage fees. In the case of Epic Music, there are many epic songs, so the field of use is more limited. Most of the famous Hollywood movie trailer music you know is produced by companies in the Epic Music category.

Legacy Epic Music

Epic Music’s business started in the 1990s, and at the beginning there were a lot of songs with very strong classical music elements. Many of the writers are film music and TV dramas, and the elements of pure classical music are strong, and I got the impression that many of the songs are of the same high quality as the movie soundtrack.

Changing Epic Music

However, Epic Music also gradually changes the composition of songs as the times change. There is an increasing number of songs with very strong BGM elements, or songs with very strong dance music elements, making use of sound effects.
