    If you like strings Zoe Keating does some interesting cello work by recording herself and playing along to that, and adding more. Almost like a score but she does it all herself (I just love listening to cello anything as well as classical). You might also want to check out the scores for the Studio Ghibli films (Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, Totoro, etc). They're all composed by Joe Hisaishi, could probably do an amazon search to find all his work. Very good composer and the music is very dramatic/moving. There are some vocals but also lots of straight instruments

    Re: Need some suggestions...

    Excellent sources to check into! Thanks! My kids love those movies, and I love cellos.

    If anyone is wondering...yes, The Thomas Crown Affair does not fit into the criteria I laid out, but I do love that movie and the music filled in some moods that were missing from my more dramatic scores. Leave it to Wes to step outside the box.
