Bring a little magic to your holiday writing season. ✨
The Holiday Expansion Pack for Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator adds 36 brand-new presets across six winter-themed categories, giving you everything from shimmering fantasy underscore to epic, cinematic holiday trailers — all playable with a single chord in Orchestrator.
In this video, Ryan Thomas takes you on a full walkthrough of every preset so you can hear how they sound in context and how they evolve as you play.
What’s Inside the Holiday Expansion Pack
6 Thematic Categories (36 Presets Total):
• Narnian Holiday – Classic fantasy magic: soaring strings, warm winds, and vocal textures perfect for enchanted forests and snow-covered kingdoms.
• Ice Cave – Atmospheric, spacious, and crystalline, ideal for fantasy games and ambient underscore with both intimate and huge cinematic options.
• Winter is Coming – Darker, more epic and driving; bold brass, percussion, and moody strings for heroic or ominous winter cues.
• Frozen Midnight – 6/8-driven, lyrical, and emotional with an otherworldly vocal shimmer — great for emotional holiday stories and fantasy dramas.
• A Star in the East – A musical journey with evolving percussive and melodic textures, including uilleann pipes and expressive string melodies.
• Bleak Midwinter – Sparse, stoic, and deeply emotional presets with subtle ostinatos and intimate textures for reflective, melancholic winter moments.
Use these presets for:
• Holiday film and TV scores
• Fantasy game soundtracks
• Christmas trailers and promos
• Emotional underscore and ambient winter soundscapes
Included with Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator
If you’re a ComposerCloud+ subscriber, or you already own Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator and the required libraries, you’ll find the Holiday Expansion Pack ready to download in the EastWest Installation Center as a Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator update.
