[cvanc]

...It needs to be the kind that TEARS THE HOUSE DOWN.

Whatcha got?

(and thanks)

 

[Cape Byron]

Mussorgsky meets ELP.

 

[David_Stack]

Carl Orff - Carmina Burana
Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture (the Telarc recording that used actual howitzers)
Richard Strauss - Also Sprach Zarathustra

 

[Daddyisabar]

Any of the tunes they play at the fireworks or in the scary parts of Fantasia.

 

[Daddyisabar]

Toccata and Fugue in d minor on the big pipe organs. Not Classical but Baroque will do.

 

[John Kemker]

Rossini, William Tell Overture
Ludwig von Beethoven, Fifth Symphony
Modest Mussorgsky, Night on Bald Mountain
Richard Wagner, Ride of the Valkyries
Grieg, Peery Gynt Suite No. 1, "In the Hall of the Mountain King"
Johannes Sebastian Bach, Toccata & Fugue in D Minor
Gustav Holst, Mars, the Bringer of War

 

[Daddyisabar]

John Williams show tunes!

 

[John Kemker]

Toccata and Fugue in d minor on the big pipe organs. Not Classical but Baroque will do.

If it's not Baroque...

 

[Daddyisabar]

If it's not Baroque...

Don't fix it. But then you have all those 70's digitally synthesized versions.

Toccata and Fugue, but the ELP version of Ginastera's composition.. Diabolico!

 

[Peartree]

Hector Berlioz - Requiem

 

[grapetang]

In addition to all the great pieces, can I suggest "Two Steps from Hell"? You absolutely have to crank the volume WAY up!

 

[Daddyisabar]

If your doing a party mix for the ladies I would put in the Victoria Suite by the Medieval Babes. Very popular and trendy with a glass of white zinfandel.

For the dudes you can't go wrong with Wagner's Funeral March for Sigfried (in Excalibur) or Prokofiev's Montagues and Capulets.

Anything by Tomita

 

[K'Tesh]

Anything from The Eagles... It's now considered classic rock!

 

[K'Tesh]

Then there's Mason Williams...

In the late 60s, the Raspberries were and remain one of my favourite bands, With Eric (SP) Carmine having just died, This thread remined me of them/him.
