Music search

I'm looking for choral/orchestral soundtrack music similar to "O Fortuna" by Richard Wagner. Some of my favorites are "Duel of the Fates" SW: The Phantom Menace (SW: EP1 soundtrack), NeoDammerung (Matrix Revolution soundtrack), and most of the Van Helsing soundtrack. Can anyone PLEASE suggest more tracks like these?

Try THE LION IN WINTER (1968) by John Barry.

"Dry Your Tears Afrika" from Amistad is a nice choral piece.
"Hymn to Red October" is also pretty awesome. Also, I seem to recall the Stargate score having a couple of good choral moments.

By the way, for clarity's sake, "O Fortuna" is from "Carmina Burana" by Carl Orff.

If you like the immortal choral piece by Orff, don't forget to listen to "Charging Fort Wagner", from GLORY. James Horner did a good twin theme here...

Thank you for your input, and for correcting me, shehan23. You're right, it was Carl Orff. I'll give all of these a listen. Yeah, James Horner is good too.

Quite different from Orffs' movement "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana but just as effective, perhaps Vangelis' beautiful theme title from his score "1492: Conquest Of Paradise" will be gratifying as well.
