Remastered version

One of my favorite songs.

From the game Serious Sam: The First Encounter.

A variation of it from Serious Sam 3: BFE - Boss Fight Strings

When I was a kid, Conan the Barbarian was my favorite movie.

A large part of that was the epic soundtrack. There are a number of tracks on it I think would fit here and I'll eventually post others but this was my favorite.

Favorite parts:

• 2:13 vocals start
• Trumpets at 3:24

Basil Poledouris took inspiration from the Carmina Burana by Carl Orff when creating the Conan soundtrack. The CB is epic as well and is worth a listen. Most people are probably already familiar with the opening movement (O Fortuna).

The answer to this would be good to include in the sidebar so people would have a better idea what’s ok to post.

Epic music is its own genre, but it can also be used to describe music more broadly - music from other genres that evokes a feeling of awe or other strong emotion.

The, uh, other place’s epic music community describes it this way:

“Music that speaks to the soul either lyrically, melodically, instrumentally, aurally, rhythmically, vocally, technologically, emotionally, temporally, or in some other profound way.” (a broad definition that would encompass multiple genres)

What kind of music would you like this community to focus on?

EDIT:

I just came across ascallion's post on [email protected] from 2 months ago where they described it as Cinematic music that speaks to the soul.

That description answers my question.
