No way. No way. I saw a thread with 1 reply and this title, and I think "This is an excellent opportunity for me to share the genius of Devin Townsend again", and that one reply is this. Weeeird.Stevato said:Give it a listen
OT: I'll contribute to the thread with some of this, then.

Someone already took my post of Night on Bald Mountain, but this piece right here is pretty badass too.
EDIT: This one is pretty awesome too.

Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean by intense and powerful, since all songs have potential to be rather powerful, if they are associated with any number of events or circumstances, and intense is a vague term that means nothing without another adjective.
So I'm just gonna throw this here and laugh at the people laughing at me for misunderstanding your request.

Beethoven's Symphony no. 9. The embedded video is just the first one I found on youtube, but I don't guarantee it to be the best performance, because I haven't listened to the whole thing. The version I'm currently most fond of is the CSO with Sir Georg Solti: it's perhaps more bombastic than Beethoven had originally written it - sounding more like a romantic era composition than classical - but somehow I think this is what Beethoven would have wanted. Look it up, but for now:
It sounds...like life.
Edit: It also occurs to me that in terms of the emotions it evokes, I should also mention Yuki Kajiura's Decretum. It's a great piece, though for me the power lies more in the memories it evokes of the series that it's from. I can't help but think of certain things that happened in that series when I hear this.

One of the most obvious choices:
This one doesn't start cranking up until about 4 and a half minutes in, but when it does, watch out:
The long build up is worth it for this one:
Those are my choices. A bit obvious, but what the heck. I never claimed to want to defy the norm, why start now?
