[Mozared]

The Ghost Love Score [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZRR-MerxIA], like Requiem for a Tower [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrZUfKk_mPc], makes anything epic.

Requiem for a Tower is the track that started this epic music search!

 

[Amphoteric]

Truth be known fits your requirements perfectly

 

[Gigaguy64]

Hmmm, im not sure if this fits your qualifications but...

Almost antyhing by Frank Klepacki. I've always thought about choreography a fight scene to most of his music.

Requiem for a Tower, along with Lux Aeterna, is the most overblown, overused piece of music that I've ever heard. I absolutely despise Requiem for a Tower - it's loathsome and utterly pretentious.

While I'm not interested in the OP's heretical "epic music search", I think it's my responsibility to demonstrate something properly epic:


No, you can't use that to a swordfight unless you want to seem pretentious.

No you can't fight to it but you can use it as a pre-fight track, so it will make it on the list.

The first time I heard Frank Klepacki was 1992's Warriors of the Enternal Sun on the Sega Genesis. Some of the best music for the 'Genesis' days.

Depends but try

Big Church

It's going to take me a minute to 'youtube' all of these tracks.

Some of its less accessible then others but there all worth a try

 

[Eumersian]

Lament For Beowulf-Howard Hanson

Bach's minor key organ preludes can often make a battle in a holy setting make things epic.

 

[Tartarga]

Be warned, many epic battles may ensue upon listening to this. Use with caution.

Agreed. If you liked that then try this...

Well I was going to recommend Europa and Requiem for a Dream (or Tower, whatever its called). But the OP already mentioned them. So I'm out.

I guess the best suggestion that I got beyond those to is to look for movie soundtracks with epic music. Like LoTR or Star Wars. I guess movies with big battle scenes are the most likely to have music like that.
