Epic Music

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

I'll get started:

Haggard - Herr Mannelig

Nightwish - Ghost Love Score

It just doesn't get better than this.

[LeftEyeNine]

Would Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song and Demons & Wizards - Fiddler On The Green count ?

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

I'd say so - I'm a fan of Blind Guardian myself.

Totentanz by Liszt.

Check out the epic 70s hair too. There are numerous artifacts in the video, possibly from it's coversion to digital? Just listen, no reason to watch unless you're a pianist (In which case it's an epic performance as well!). I love the range present in Totentanz, the very definition of the 'epic' classical feel for me is to go from heights to lows, from loud to quiet, from light to dark, fast to slow, and so forth and so to experience the whole possibilities that can be wrung from an orchestra.

Night on Bald Mountain by Mussorgsky.

Surely I've pimped this somewhere else here, as it was one of the pieces that introduced me to classical music as a child (Fantasia, of course) and has stuck with me ever since. This is a modest reworking of the original with an accelerated pace on top, but it's bloody good and you just can't ask for more than that.

Annihilation of the Wicked by Nile. (Warning, turn down your speakers from where they were for the two above. )

Had to throw in something modern and I seriously doubt many metal fans are going to dispute this being an epic work. Exquisite intro riffs.

I've been going through a Drudkh phrase recently

Perfection Or Vanity by Dimmu Borgir should qualify. It's a black metal band yes; but it's relatively safe to click that link. Purely instrumental song, thus no growling; and no truly offencive images will you find there either.

(you'll find videos with better sound quality if you do a search)
