I've been searching for ambient music for my campaign and have found music for most of land's areas except for one. Of course, it's for a place my players should be getting to first session. They need to go before a council of high level adventurers in order to get their guild license. I'm trying to find music that presence a sort of intimidating and a bit mysterious aura but so far everything I've found is either too upbeat (which is good for the rest of the world, not here), sounds evil, or is straight up horror. Guess that's what happens to your algorithm when the last game you ran was Strahd. While I'm trying to intimidate the party a bit, I'm not trying to outright scare them or make them think I'm foreshadowing evil npcs (I'm not, the council is supposed to be old heroes).
Anyone have any suggestions or anything that sounds suitable in their vast playlists? Thanks for any help!
But be aware - like most sites, the free use has limitations in terms of how many ambient boards can be accessed etc. Donating as little as five bucks every few months is, in my opinion, well worth the investment.

Handel's Sarabande
Game of Thrones theme? Or for something mellower consider Antonin Dvorak's "New World" Symphony.
There's a ton of sites online for music and sounds and such for gaming. I have had good luck with mynoise.net.
