Pompous Music...


Recommended Posts

This is a pretty random survey that i'm pretty sure hasn't been done before, but if you could, what music would you play on loud speakers when your in a pretty pompous mood, to announce to the world that you have entered the room? Or what music would you play when you have conquered some great feat and run in slow motion?

Don't know about the last choice but the first is pretty simple: Jerry Goldsmith, ST Insurrection, In Custody first 50 sec

Pompous eh?

Well if I had a choice, it would be Holst's Jupiter movement from 'The Planets".

It has everything that's good and old about British pompousness!

For the pompous cue . . . I'd play 'The Final Conflict' from the film of the same name. And no one would be allowed to talk or move during the entire 8:32 of it, not even me. I'd just stand there with my fists at my waist, like Superman or something.

For the running in slow-mo, I'd use 'Siege of the City' from Flesh + Blood. Such juxtaposition would be great.

The most pompous music is called epic metal.

Bal-Sagoth are awesome.

And I agree with the above posts, "presenting the Hook", adding the second part of "Welcome to Jurassic Park".
