"Serenata" is a cinematic orchestral composition by Immediate Music, originally featured on their 2004 album Themes for Orchestra and Choir #1, released by the company’s in-house label. The track was later reimagined and released under the title Serenata Immortale in 2008 on the Trailerhead album, marking its transformation into one of the company's most iconic pieces.

Background and Composition

Serenata was originally composed as part of Themes for Orchestra and Choir #1, a collection designed for use in film trailers and promotional materials. The composition blends elements of orchestral music and choir arrangements, creating a sweeping, epic atmosphere intended to evoke grand, cinematic moments. Its powerful use of strings, brass, and choral vocals has made it a staple of the Immediate Music catalog.

In 2006, the track was reworked by Globus, a project formed by composers from Immediate Music, and was released as Orchard of Mines on their debut album Epicon. This version of the track presented a more polished, commercial adaptation of Serenata, making it accessible to a broader audience.

Re-release and Serenata Immortale

In 2008, Serenata was re-released in an expanded and refined form as Serenata Immortale on Immediate Music's Trailerhead album. This version of the track retained the grandeur of the original while incorporating additional elements, including a more intense orchestral arrangement and choral vocals that emphasized themes of immortality, heroism, and eternal struggle.

Serenata Immortale has since become one of Immediate Music's most well-known pieces, used extensively in film trailers, video game trailers, and other cinematic media. It is often regarded as an anthem of epic proportions, capturing the spirit of timeless battles and legendary events.

Usage in Media

The reworked version, Serenata Immortale, has been widely used in trailers for major films, including action, fantasy, and science fiction genres. Its emotional intensity and sweeping arrangements have made it a go-to piece for projects requiring high drama and tension.
