    I personally don’t think you can go wrong with ANY of the works of these classical composers: Mozart, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Strauss, and Bach. Have fun with your film :o)

    Try Miserere by Gregorio Allegri as well as Albinoni’s Adagio, The Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan-Williams and nocturnes by Chopin!

    second or slow movements of symphonies and piano concerto’s are probably what you’re looking for chopin nocturne’s are nice if you want piano pieces but maybe the slow movement from elvira madigan (mozart’s 21 piano concerto) or the third movement of brahms second piano concerto is what you’re looking for

    First of all, the music in LOTR and Last of the Mohicans is not classical music. However, if it is sublimely beautiful music that you are looking for then might I make the following recommendations:
    Preludes to the first and third acts of “Tristan und Isolde” by Wagner.
    Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis - Vaughan Williams.
    Also Sprach Zarathustra, op.30, - Richard Strauss.
    Symphony No.4 in F minor, Second movement - Tchaikovsky
    Symphony No.6 in B minor, Second movement - Tchaikovsky
    Polovtsian Dances - Borodin

    Elgar - close of the Dream of Gerontius.
    Elgar - Prelude to The Kingdom
    Holst - The Planets, (obviously not Mars or Jupiter), but try Saturn or Uranus.

    Don’t say a word, just listen.
