Name some music like Mozart's Requiem

[KingNothing]

I hear it in movies now and then, it's important/ominous-sounding choral music with instruments in the background. There was a clip of it in The Punisher, which I just got back from seeing.

The Punisher is pretty dumb, by the way.

Carmina Burana, by Carl Orff

Sweet! What else?

 

[StevenYoo]

make sure u listen to ALL of the mozart requiem.

it's freaking awesome.

the Dies Irae and the Confutatis are my faves.

yep O Fortuna, from Carmina Burana is one they use a lot in movie trailers.

then we have:
"Dies irae" from some Requiem by Giuseppe Verdi (this one is awesome)
"O Verona" from the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack
"A Knife in the Dark" from the fellowship of the ring soundtrack
"El Tango De Roxanne" from Moulin Rouge has a cool choir part at the end
"Liberi Fatali" from some Final Fantasy game
"Escaflowne" from im not sure where, but i think a movie by the same name

and thats all i can think of for now. hope u like!
