I absolutely love Witch Chorus and Campfire Ambience! I actually can't believe I haven't considered menu selection music, because this really gave me lowkey Diablo III vibes in such a great way. Ofc all the other comments cover the great choices throughout, but my personal favorite aspect has got to be the drums and tambourine in Witch Chorus. 11/10 stuff!

Description
Where Beasts Were Born is a game in development that hasn't had music added yet, so I'm using this game jam as a way to jumpstart the process. The game is a survival game where you are fighting monsters for resources. These monsters threaten your livelihood and that of your village. You and some other friendly(or not so friendly) witches go into the caves to exterminate the monsters in order to claim your villages freedom.
I went for a dark tribal style of music and I hope to keep the instrumentation as traditional as possible. In it I'm using a hammered dulcimer, a bunch of different drums, my tin whistle and flutes, various other percussion, and a tiny guitalele I'm modifying to sound more like a lute.
The masks that the witches have remind me of old paganism. I looked up whatever I could find of old pagan cults and rituals to get inspiration. It didn't end up too dark, but I plan to make things darker and darker as you head deeper into the monster caves.
Message from the artist
I hope you like the three tracks I wrote!
Theme

How does it fit the theme?
It directly fits! Monsters threaten your freedom, so you have to get rid of the monsters.
