I’m trying to build playlists for work of various genres I enjoy, such as metal, 90’s Country, 90’s Alternative, Piano, you know what I mean. One of my absolute favorite styles is epic orchestral, often from movies (though not always), though I’m not a huge movie guy. So help me out I’ve got several in mind (from the likes of Gladistor, Pirates of the Caribbean, and LOTR) but I’ll start with this one, which I only discovered today. Adagio in D Minor by John Murphy from the movie Sunshine (watching now for the first time). https://youtu.be/NQXVzg2PiZw Help me out and add your favorite! I’ll add some more later.This message has been edited. Last edited by: thumperfbc, | ||

I'd never heard of this genre before. Would the theme from Starman qualify? | |||

Baroque Bloke |
The Ravel orchestration of “Pictures at an Exhibition” (Modest Mussorgsky) has to be on the list. Serious about crackers | |||

I was just listening to The best of Hans Zimmer, live album by different orchestras that will fit your bill. I'm also a fan of Eric Serra (Big Blue, 5th element, The professional, etc ). 0-0 "OP is a troll" - Flashlightboy, 12/18/20 | |||

I love the soundtrack to the movie Trinity and Beyond. It is on amazon music but here is a good sample: This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it. -Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Joshua Painter Played by Senator Fred Thompson | |||

This is a BIG question, so I'll try to be brief. My ideas on "epic" symphonic works (often involving a chorus): 1. Orff- Carmina Burana 2. Mahler- Symphony no. 2: Resurrection 3. Mahler- Symphony no. 8: Symphony of A Thousand 4. Holst- The Planets (particularly Mars and Jupiter) 5. Beethoven- Symphony no. 9 (movement IV) 6. Verdi: Requiem (particularly "Dies Irae") 7. Stravinsky- The Rite of Spring Film Scores: 8. Anything by John Williams 9. Hans Zimmer- Crimson Tide, The Rock, The Peacemaker, to name a few 10. Howard Shore- The Lord of the Rings trilogy | |||

My favorite film musical score is “Ben Hur” from 1959. For demonstrations of the bass in your speaker system, try Saint-Säens Symphony No. 3, has a marvelous organ climax. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

We need some Schubert. I'll propose the 9th Symphony but lots of his other stuff would do quite as well. Here's the last movement: This symphony came within an inch of being lost. The manuscript was found in a pile of papers in the brother's Paris flat years after Franz's death. When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | |||

These and Also Sprach Zarathustra are what sprang immediately to mind. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

There you have Charlie Wilson´s War "Turning the Tide" theme. I particularly enjoy the "borrowed" excerpt with the north african percussion https://youtu.be/ltszLxRWUSM 0-0 "OP is a troll" - Flashlightboy, 12/18/20 | |||
