Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra is a free orchestral sample library. While not as advanced or ambitious in scope as commercial offerings, SSO contains all the basic building blocks for creating real virtual orchestrations. It's primarily aimed at beginners, but also more experienced composers looking for something lightweight and/or portable might find it useful.

CWBF's Mantovani Strings
by Colin FoleyUploaded on Apr 21, 2020 (and last updated on Apr 21, 2020)

Extra considerations:
Obviously the Mantovani samples aren't mine, but it's literally less than a second per sample, and only three samples, so I'm very sure this falls under fair use.
