  • Sanity is over-rated.
You know that kind of music that just makes anything you happen to be doing at the moment epic?  This is where it can be shared.
I'll start with a particular author that is a master of EWQL Symphonic Orchestra.
Adventure Land
Conquest

And, just to prove I'm a huge nerd.  An orchestrated peice from Zelda
Yes, this is an elaborate way of asking you guys to do the searching for me  :p

Oh hell, I call upon LoTR.
The Bridge of Khazad Dum
In my world of sleepers, everything will be erased.
I'll be your religion, your only endless ideal.
Slowly we crawl in the dark.
Swallowed by the seductive night.

Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Any later symphony by Beethoven. All of them qualify, but a few particular highlights would be:

5th Symphony, 1st movement - Though all of it is epic, the first movement is possibly the most famous piece of classical music ever.
7th Symphony, 2nd movement - The first 3 minutes or so might well be my favourite among all of Beethoven's compositions.

Wagner:

Tannhäuser overture - First three-four minutes or so, mainly, and the ending.
Ride of the Valkyries - How come noone mentioned this before now? Come on.

Another epic Holst planet to go with StarSlayer's "Mars, the Bringer of War":

Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity - Can't help but love this one.

And finally, we can't leave out the good old Pipe Organ:

Toccata and Fugue in D minor - By Bach. Much of his other stuff would qualify, too.
