*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OmQPukGsBA Bacce bene venies] as well. ''Istud vinum bonum vinum vinum generosum... Redit vinum curialem probum animosum!''
*** Also ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvI9R16I6SU&feature=related Tempus est iocundum]'', which might just be the happiest song ever written.

** Orff's "Carmina Burana" is just full of epicness. There is no way to deny that fact.
Line 137:
* ''[[La Boheme]]'', by Giacomo Puccini. All. Of. It. But ESPECIALLY [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_UtIy5VEz0 "O soave fanciulla] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZzC6e6olCY "Quando m'en vo"] (a.k.a. Musetta's Waltz). If you hear opera in a movie or tv show and it's not Flight of the Valkyries, there's a good chance it's this.
** Also from Puccini, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdTBml4oOZ8 "Nessun Dorma"] from ''Turandot''. The end of the aria is the bit that everyone knows (Luciano Pavarotti in particular made it something of a signature tune in his repertoire):

* Henry Purcell's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWRcx9LHBJU Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary]. It's mostly known as the [[Soundtrack Dissonance|unfitting]] opening theme in the film of ''[[A Clockwork Orange (film)|A Clockwork Orange]]''.
Line 158:
** Ravel's F Major String Quartet is widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest - and most difficult - string quartets ever written. The fourth movement is absolutely spectacular.
* Resphigi's ''Pini di Roma'' - so awesome, it influenced [[John Williams]]. Of special note is the final movement, [http://youtu.be/TQwGTe_MueM ''I pini della Via Appia'' (The Pines of Appian Way)], which has been described as follows:

** Even more awesome when its accompanies by [[Fantasia|humpback whales flying into the Aurora Borealis.]]
* Rimsky-Korsakov's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FHFJ0lU9Us/ Russian Easter Festival Overture]. Part beautiful, part powerful and energetic, part takes your breath away... It's quite possibly one of the most epic overtures ever written.
