    I love classical music that is fast paced with a chorus. I find it really cool. These are songs that fit that description, and their artist:

    DUEL OF THE FATES...... John Williams
    BATTLE OF THE HEROES... John Williams
    ANAKIN vs OBI-WAN...... John Williams
    ANAKIN'S DARK DEEDS.... John Williams
    O'FORTUNA (sp)......... Carl Orff
    THE MASS............... Era (remake of O'Fortuna)
    IMHOTEP RESURECTED..... Alan Silvestri
    WE'RE IN TROUBLE....... Alan Silverstri
    DIES IRAE.............. Giuseppe Verdi
    NAVRAS................. Don Davis
    THE FINAL OMEN 2.0..... Immediate Music

    I love all of those songs, but does anyone know of any other songs that fit my description? If you do, could you please post the song's name and its artist?

    Thank you!

    It's not quite classical music, but you might enjoy some of the songs by a Finnish Opera-Metal band called "Nightwish".

    Tracks like "End Of All Hope", "Wishmaster", "Ghost Love Score" and a few others have VERY loud and heavy choirs and string instruments supporting them. They also do some mean covers of "The Phantom Of The Opera" (Lloyd-Webber), "Over The Hills & Far Away" (Gary Moore) and even Hans Zimmer's "Roll Tide" (from "Crimson Tide").

    The Imperial March plays in every episode except for Episode IV for some reason. This is a list of when the Imperial March plays in all six episodes.


    Episode I)When Obi-Wan and Yoda are discussing young Anakin's future as a Jedi.

    Episode II) When Anakin confesses to Padme that he killed an entire Tusken Raider camp, and in the end of Episode II when the clone troopers are being deployed from Geonosis.

    Episode III) When Anakin receives the name Darth Vader, When Darth Vader receives his new armor, and when Darth Vader gets his first look at the Death Star.

    Episode IV) Never Plays.

    Episode V)When the TIE Fighters return to the Star Destroyer.

    Episode VI) When the Emperor makes it to the second Death Star, and during Anakin Skywalker's death playing as a distant and melancholy tune.

    Just look into Verdi and his operas, especially the ones during his "galley years" which where full of patriotic choruses.

    BF33, your post is off-topic for this thread. We have other threads to discuss the Imperial March (it's not in ANH because JW didn't compose it until 1980 for ESB).

    Return of the Jedi, background music to Rebel space fights at Endor: Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No.1, third movement.

    Also, Princess Leia's theme is quite similar to Glazunov's Raymonda (the Grand adagio/entr'acte with the Saracen.)
