I use the term "Classical" lightly here. Here are 18 extracts from what I think are some ofthe most exciting, spine tingling orchestral pieces ever. A lot is left out of this list - Beethoven's Ninth, for one. The pieces are (in no particular order): 1. Verdi - Messa da Requiem - Dies Irae, Dies Illa 2. Verdi - Messa da Requiem - Tuba Mirum 3. Bizet - Carmen - Procession of the Toreadors 4. Beethoven - Symphony No. 5 - Allegro con Brio 5. Prokofiev - Montagues and Capulets 6. Orff - Carmina Burana 7. Copland - Fanfare for the Common Man 8. Sandstrom - Motorbike Concerto - Introduction 9. Schoenberg - Chamber Symphony No. 1 (Finale) 10. Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring - Dances of the Young Girls 11. Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring - Glorification of the Chosen One 12. Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring - Sacrificial Dance 13. Borodin - Prince Igor - Polovtsian Dances 14. Parry - I Was Glad - Fanfare 15. Mussorgsky - Night on a Bare Mountain 16. Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries 17. Dvorak - Symphony No. 9 (From The New World) - Allegro con Fuoco 18. Rossini - William Tell - Overture (Fanfare) In there are some old favourites but also many new pieces you probably won't have heard ... (If you really want to enjoy this music, play it through speakers and whack the bass up high. Most of them feature drums and timpani!)

Probably Just beautiful, so powerful yet gentle. Thanks for taking the time to do this. MOZART anywhere? Symphony No. 40 mvt 1? Lacrimosa - Requiem? Confutatis - Requiem? Die Irae - Requiem? What about flight of the bumblebee? Spartacus Suite No.3 2nd mvmt - Aram Khachaturian Execution of Stepan Razin - Dmitri Shostakovich Maybe someone told you yet, but.. it's "Night on a BALD mountain" Since this is a video of classical music I thought hopefully someone might be able to help me find the exact name of a classical song that plays in the the backround starting at 10:58 in this movie Jet Li - High Risk / Meltdown - Part 8 - Chinese With English Subtitles in the search bar. I have been trying to find the song for the longest time-but no luck. Can someone please help? Its a movie I saw but I cant get the classical song that plays near the end out of my head. Since this is a video of classical music I thought hopefully someone might be able to help me find the exact names of a classical song hat plays in the the backround starting at 10:58 in this movie oppes couldnt post the exact link but its the first vidoe that popls up when you type Jet Li - High Risk / Meltdown - Part 8 - Chinese With English Subtitles in the search bar. I have been trying to find the song for the longest time-but no luck. Can someone please help? Thanks! #16 napalm bath The star trek theme sounds like #11 #11 sounds like the star trek fight theme I think we can all agree the greatest classical song of all time is the skyrim theme. Makes me wanna die triumphantly beating off herds of angry bison. That's the only reason I tend to steer clear of most of the very famous composers. I can't listen to Verdi - Messa da Requiem - Dies Irae, Dies Illa without thinking of the X-Factor, and I FUCKING HATE that programme >:[ So would the rocky theme be good for this list because maybe u should add it time to get kickass at guitar so i can learn these and better at viola WONDERFUL!!!! who conducted the Dies Irae by Verdi? Also, you could mention Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique well, first use of the Rite without the pulsations in the beginning of the second movement... did not work for me. and Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi is more epic on the lasts verses #6 is overused. youtube.com/watch?v=EmV35VPRT9s thanks Great compilation! But you're missing shostakovich's 10nth its a shame if you are jelous of people listening to this beutiful music. I learned about these songs from comercials and I am proud of it. THird wolrd countries dont have opera houses or places to listen to this... thanks for the video, i want to know grat classics songs but people sometmes choose the sames for their videos, thanks of you i have known great new songs! : ) wat a top/made me feel like i could face tomorow,gave me joy na energy,
