I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for some really epic music. Anyone with a good suggestion, please post it. Posts: 1918 | Registered: Sunday, October 13 2002 07:00 |

Define epic for me. I listen to more music and music types than I really care to think about, so I might be able to help. -------------------- And the Glory of the Light did shine upon him. And the Peace of the Light did he give men. Binding nations to him. Making one of many. Yet the shards of hearts did give wounds. And what was once did come again -in fire and in storm splitting all in twain. For his peace... -for his peace... ... was the peace... ... was the peace... ... of the sword. And the Glory of the Light did shine upon him. Meane sol Ahelle Check out my Avernum 3 site. This one is incomplete, but better than the one here which is complete, sort of.

Basically, stuff you'd hear in a movie when something really dramatic is happening. Posts: 1918 | Registered: Sunday, October 13 2002 07:00 |

Something along the lines of the soundtrack in Lord of the Rings, the first movie. The music you hear while the Orcs are hammering swords in Orthanc is just amazing. The theme played with the black riders is cool too. And the song Argonath, played when the company rows past the giant statues is very impressive and mysterious. Classic epic music though, has to be the Jurassic Park theme. Is this the kind of reply you wanted? -------------------- H-E-L-P. I think my alphabet soup is trying to tell me something.

Man... somneone got to it before me... anyway, both LOTR soundtracks have tons of epic music in them. Basically every song of every CD does. I personally think that the second one has better epic stuff, but both do near the end anyway. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.

I suppose a classic example of what you seem to be looking for would be "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana. -------------------- I believe there are 15 747 724 136 275 002 577 105 653 961 181 555 468 044 717 914 527 116 709 366 231 425 076 185 631 031 296 protons in the universe, and the same number of electrons. -- Sir Arthur Eddington Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Anything by Rhapsody (four cds up to date) or Luca Turilli (who is part of Rhapsody but also has two solo cds). Especially, Emerald Sword. -------------------- Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heilighthum!

Carmen by Bizet (is this the same as the aformentioned Carmina Burana?) Wagner's quite good for epic as well. And you missed out a question mark.

'Carmina Burana' is by Carl Orff. It's great. Try to get a sample. -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

I am embarassed by my enthusiasm for the Ring cycle. :o Wagner was a very nasty man. They don't even allow it to be played in Israel. Posts: 2333 | Registered: Monday, January 7 2002 08:00 |

If you want kind of soft rock as a "dark" soudtrack I suggest Linkin Park's first album Hybrid Theory. On a different note classical music is probably better for soundtracks. -------------------- NUKE NORTH KOERA (No offence to any Koreans) "Bouts of insanity stop us all going mad.":- Spike Milligan I mod supaniks ass at Random_stupidity NFC FOREVER!!!

Wagner "Ritt der Walküren/Ride of the Valkyries" Ravel "Bolero" (slow in buildup, but mighty at the end) Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in d minor" Beethoven-Symphony No. 9 "Molto vivace" -------------------- ... Posts: 647 | Registered: Wednesday, February 19 2003 08:00 |

In terms of movie-type soundtracks, pretty much any classical done in the Twentieth Century (or otherwise classified as modern.) This era of classical seems to have many of the dramatic bass sections that makes music have that flare to it. -------------------- Looks like someone needs to stick their head in some Ice Water...

If you're not going to turn your nose up at something without violins in it, "Echoes" by Pink Floyd, which is epic in scale, and "Free Bird" by Lynard Skynard, which is not as long but certainly a lot more dramatic in sound. -------------------- desperance -- je me souviens arena -- et je me souviens de vous Posts: 2449 | Registered: Monday, October 15 2001 07:00 |
