Inspirational music

[ShinRa]

This one might be a little difficult to ask about. It's a specific type of music that there isn't too much of out there. Basically it's usually a full orchestra and it's usually part of a movie or a game. Some examples of this type of music are:

Pirates of the Carribean Theme
Halo Theme
The Rock the movie Theme
Rainbow Six Overture

I'm looking for music like that, it can be from a game, a movie, an actual orchestra, I don't care. It's the kind of music that sounds epic and emotional. Violins, cellos, big drums, trumpets, etc etc. So if you know any good themes or songs or artists like this, please help me. It's for a college project. Thank you!:cheers:

Funny you should say that...

As I just finished listening to Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony

Oh, and try Metallica's One (The S&M Version)

The Anvil of Crom from the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack.

Most motivational piece ever!

Flight of the valkyries ...Robert Duvall swears by it

I don't know if this is the kind of stuff you're looking for, but how about...

Gladiator soundtrack: everything from the Barbarian Hordes track to the end of the soundtrack should be good.

The Land Before Time opening, and the end theme tune. Seriously. When they finally find the Great Valley, it's SO INSPIRATIONAL.

The "Grand Finale" track off the Edward Scissorhands soundtrack.

 

[Zephos]

Band of Brothers theme.

 

[Pressure]

Anything off Metallica's St. Anger album inspires me not to suck.

 

[Dynasty]

The Last Samurai
Band Of Brothers (mainly as im currently watching the last half of the series).
The Lord Of The Rings (duhhh)

 

[lePobz]

Dambusters theme.

 

[Slacker]

Flight of the valkyries ...Robert Duvall swears by it

Amen...god I love that song.

Also, Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros. I love the piano in it.

 

[Acepilotf14]

Liquid Tension Experiment 2 - Biaxident

Among others I could think of, this one came of the top of head. Go download it NOW!

Pirates of the Carribean Theme

I agree with you there. I played that song on the trumpet in a Concert Band.

 

[Javert]

The theme for Dune. Trust me, you've heard it before.

 

[mortiz]

Manowar - Warriors of the World United. Cheesy as hell, but kick ass music. I mean just check out the lyrics here

Also

Joe Satriani - Crushing Day.

 

[Ennui]

main titles from baldur's gate

 

[theotherguy]

hmm...inspirational

Classical
Progress (I dont know how it can be inspirational, but it is)
Adagio for strings

Rock
We are the champions (cheezy, but inspirational at times, especially when green day played it right before the election of 2004)
Black Hole Sun (just because its about renewal and hope)

Pop
The graduation song (stolen from canon in D, perfectley annoying and stupid, but when you're graduating in a room of thousands of people and its playing like a rock concert, its inspirational)

 

[586FAC75]

Orchestral version of "Gimme Shelter" briefly used in the trailer for "Children of Men". Laaavley.
