Well, if I had written an epic piece of music that is all about celebrating love, peace and brotherhood, I'd be a wee bit irked if people started using it as accompaniment to explosions and killing sprees...

I assume he thinks of himself as a peaceMAKER.
ButI see you point. For explosions and stuff I've always favored 1812 with bells and cannons.

Anvil Chorus is a good 'splosion song too, but unfortunately the good part is too short. 1812 Overture is the preferred killin' music, or else Mozart's Requiem for an extended spree.

i'm not sure if it would be humanly possible to keep a killing spree going for all of the requiem..........

Surely a better backing would be the Vienna Waltz with the sound of the explosions removed. All you would need to do is keep the major explosions more or less in sync with the more conspicuous incidents in the music and it would lend the tableau a certain poetry.

Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries serves much of the same purpose

Actually, the Dies Irae from Verdi's Requiem is good war music, far better than anything in Mozart's in terms of violence. I tend to have too much reverence for Mozart's to use it as a soundtrack...

Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain is suitably violent as well, but perhaps is much too linked with its programmatic conception.

BTW, wasn't it Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor? I can't really remember. I know they also used a lot of Shostakovich in Rollerball, esp. the 5th and 8th symphonies. Andre Previn, the conductor of the London Phil, also composed some suitably 70s-sounding pieces for it.

Didn't miss much. The soundtrack is definitely one of the few aspects in the plus column for it.
