Elmofongo: Long time no see, now I have a treat for you. The theme, I want you to look at these images, its from the climax of the Silmarillion, the War of Wrath, what you are seeing is Earendil the Half Elf on a litiral flying ship blessed by the gods and iwth the help of Giant Eagles are battling Ancalagon the Black and his flying Dragons.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKzLHshYGxU Thank you and yes long time :) (Also apologies for the late reply by the way - past few days were hellish) I haven't read The Silmarillion yet but I have read a bit about some of the events in it. And I can see a music piece like that made to fit such an climactic ending. I suppose its only a matter of time before we see a big screen adaption of the book, and I only hope Howard Shore is still available by then. His work has come to define Tolkien's world for me :)
By the way if you like to imagine such epic conflicts against the backdrop of music from other sources, then I'd like to point you to some of
Paul Houseman's music. I don't like all of his stuff, but several pieces I find amazing. Be sure to check out 'Day of Days' and 'Imperator' on that list. Both kind of fit in the 40k universe for me. Day of Days especially I can see against a tour of the interior of a Forge World factory where Baneblades or Landraiders are assembled by the Adeptus Mechanicus.
The list doesn't have all of his work unfortunately. I see there 'An event of unspeakable peril II', the 2nd version presumably, but the original which is far better isn't in the list.
