SCimmerian Oscar® Winner	Herrmann & Newman:THE EGYPTIAN,Tiomkin:LAND OF THE PHARAOHS,Prokofiev:IVAN THE TERRIBLE,Goldenthal:FINAL FANTASY. Sir if you like chorus then you should listen to the opera choruses of Wagner,Verdi,Puccini and the cantatas of Berlioz,Howells,Vaughan Williams and Rachmaninov.And check out Vangelis:MYTHODEA,it is awesome.

Hasta Oscar® Winner	There's too many, really... Some recent ones include LotR, as Dan said, and some of JNH's choral work near the end of Atlantis is magnificent. The Time Machine also has some wicked choral bits.

scoreguy16 Oscar® Winner	One that I've been thinking about recently is Mancina's Twister. But almost everything by Zimmer features a pretty large chior. Pretty much the last 2-3 minutes of December 7th from Pearl Harbor is completely chior. Clayton

MWRuger Oscar® Winner	You know, there is a series called Cinema Choral Classics that is up to three volumes. It is a nice sampler and it would give you some nice directions to go in.

SEBULBA Oscar® Winner	Well, it's not a "soundtrack", but it's used in MANY films. Carmina Burana. One of the great choral pieces.

jeffy Oscar® Winner	I'm kicking myself for forgetting some of these scores mentioned, especially since they rank as some of my favorites, especially The Mission, The Lion King and Close Encounters. Also, don't forget AI: Artificial Intelligence. Great solo soprano, but also some good choral work during the Ice Excavation. Hey Philipp, why are you looking for scores with a chorus? Compiling a CD? NP: Final Fantasy (to wake me up)

Philipp Oscar® Winner	Nope, just out of curiosity

Christian Madsen Oscar® Winner	The following scores by Georges Delerue contain chorous and they are great: TRUE CONFESSIONS Only available on LP, but there is a suite on "The London Sessions # 3) AGNES OF GOD BLACK ROBE John Barry: THE LAST VALLEY Ennio Morricone: THE MISSION EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC James Horner: BRAINSTORM ...and somebody did mention "NEEDFULL THINGS" by Patrick Doyle. There is only one thing I can say about it: Check it out. It is the best score he has composed. *****
