Need some good classical music

[CanadianGuitarist]

I've been listening to the Chris Masters theme a lot lately. It makes for a pretty good driving song...lots of instruments, intensity, crescendo building.

 

But I think it goes without saying that there's better ones out there. Help me out, preferably using those guidelines?

[Guest Felonies!]

Holst - Mars, the Bringer of War

Tchaikovsky - Marche Slave

Joseph Wilcox Jenkins - American Overture

Johan de Meij - Symphony No. 1: The Lord of the Rings (specifically "Gandalf")

[The Man in Blak]

I'll second the Holst recommendation - nearly every science fiction movie soundtrack has ripped off of "Mars", and for good reason.

 

I've always been partial to Bartok's "Miraculous Mandarin" as well.

[Star Ocean 3]

Aaron Jay Kernis - Symphony No. 2

Alexander Scriabin - The Poem of Ecstasy

Olivier Messiaen - Turangalila

Gloria Coates - Symphony No. 7

[FroGG_NeaL]

Holst - Mars, the Bringer of War

Tchaikovsky - Marche Slave

Joseph Wilcox Jenkins - American Overture

Johan de Meij - Symphony No. 1: The Lord of the Rings (specifically "Gandalf")

 

Those first three are great choices, I'm not familiar with the LOTR one.

Wagner - "Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral." I have a Phantom Regiment recording of it. I might put that up later, as well as their 2003 show which I enjoyed a lot.

[Guest Felonies!]

Here's Gandalf. Hobbits is good too; Ill put the whole symphony up later today if there's demand.

Fuckin' awesome.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

To drive to? The William Tell Overture.

To drive to? The William Tell Overture.

 

I think of that as a great piece to ride a horse to.

My truck has a really bouncy suspension.
