Gentle Lullabies Vol. 2

Piano and strings at a gentle three and a half minutes, the pastoral title pointing to the album's lightest, most open-air moment while keeping its wistful edge. Pairs naturally with meadows, spring and slow-motion nature footage.

The longest cue here at over six minutes, tagged deep as well as melancholic: classical nylon-string guitar and strings with room to wander and settle. A single-pass bed for long museum, heritage or archival sequences.

Piano and strings with a featured solo violin line, warmer and more conversational than its neighbours across four minutes. The exposed violin makes it best where the melody can be heard rather than buried under speech.

Nylon-string guitar and strings in the album's moodiest, most shadowed register, held at a slow lullaby pace for nearly four minutes. Useful where tenderness carries an undertone of unease.

Piano and strings with a distant horn adding weight and a sense of scale, spread over four and a quarter minutes. The elevated, looking-back-from-above perspective suits aerial footage and retrospective narration.

Classical guitar and soft strings with a hopeful lift that sets it apart from the album's sadder cues, at a short and usable under-three-minute length. Written for cradle-side tenderness and new beginnings.

Piano and strings in a floating, heavenly register, running just under four minutes with a serene, bittersweet character. Fits scenes of remembrance and gentle transcendence.

Nylon-string guitar and strings joined by flute, giving this one an old-world, storybook colour the rest of the album lacks; the tags add travel and voyage to the melancholy. Good for legend, pilgrimage and journey material.

A five-minute piano and strings piece with the slow, dimming arc its title implies, moving from stillness into a fuller, more emotional string presence. Suited to sunsets, endings and long dissolves.

The album's most openly grieving piece: classical nylon-string guitar and quiet strings in a compact two-and-a-half-minute lament. Best where the edit needs sorrow stated plainly and briefly.

Gentle piano with sustained strings, unfolding across nearly five minutes with an unhurried, flowing feel that matches its watery title. Romantic and wistful, with plenty of room to sit under narration or dialogue.

Nylon-string classical guitar with a soft string bed, played at a slow lullaby pace and kept to a tidy three minutes. The mood is tender and melancholic rather than sweet, suiting the last quiet hour before daybreak.
