I need more music like the song 'Neodammerung' from the Matrix Revolutions soundtrack.If anyone has suggestions please give me a name of an artist or song name.
I have O Fortuna by Carl Orff.
And E.S. Posthumus music. But I want music with a powerful choir/orchestra like Neodammerung.

Mission: Impossible 2 ("Bare Island")! But, no, really, it's awesome!Ummmmmmmmm... and First Knight by Jerry Goldsmith ("Arthur's Farewell").
Conan The Barbarian by Basil Poledouris ("Riders of Doom")!
Snow Falling on Cedars by James Newton Howard ("Tarawa"); and actually, this piece is used in the trailers and TV spots for Matrix Revolutions.
I'm sure there's many others, but those are what come to mind.

There is, of course, Duel of the Fates. You all know that one.

A couple of suggestions:
* 'Isengard Unleashed' and 'Foundations of Stone' from The Two Towers (Shore).
* Passages from The Last Valley (Barry).

I'm surprised that no one mentioned Don Davis' score to the first Matrix sequel, Reloaded. Burly Brawl, anyone?Craig Armstrong's Plunkett and Maclane
and Romeo & Juliet (vol.2) score each have some genuine moment of Choral beauty.Patrick Doyle's Needful Thing is also a plus.

Also, Goldsmith's The Final Conflict has some excellent choral writing. (The first two Omen scores also do, of course, but they're far more different from the Neodämmerung kind).

"Zombie Fight" by Joseph LoDuca on Hercules: Yhe Legendary Journeys - Volume 3 (Out of print) - It's powerful and catchy.The cue at the end of Joan Of Arc: The Messanger by Eric Serra which is like a rip off, except it is different. I forget the cue name.

And lest we not forget one of the greats- Horner's GLORY.. Charging Fort Wagner is a masterpiece in it's own right.

Unfortunately, they're not as brawny or bold (in the O FORTUNA) mode as the REVOLUTIONS cut, but "A Good Day to Die" from FLATLINERS and "Prince's Day" from BLOWN AWAY are two of my favorite choral/solo voice, classical-ish pieces, somewhat in the vein of what u're talking about.Also: "Victorius Titus" from TITUS, which is probably more in that mold than the above-referenced selections. Hope that helps and I agree -- I listened to "Neodammerung" and the final credits version of it driving home yesterday and it's just fantastic.
