Looking for good classical music!

[I)eadnerzhul]

I'm looking for some good classical music that would fit an RPG I am making. I want to give the RPG a sort of dark, melancholy feel to it, but also somewhat aggressive, sort of like Diablo. Also, some lightheartedness, to give some contrast. I want to achieve this mood through music, so I was wondering if anyone can give me or direct me to some good places for such music.

I've looked through pages upon pages of songs on Newgrounds, and came up with quite a few good finds, but I'm still looking for more. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've uploaded a few of the songs that I got from Newgrounds to give an example of what I'm looking for.

If anyone gets me some good tracks, I'll award them with reputation.

Here's a link to my RPG thread: The Culling: Hordes of Hell.

Dunno if its your thing or the style you want, but in my music thread Solemn Cave, is kind of creepy.

Well, it's pretty good, but I don't think it really suits the sort of feel I'm going for. Thanks anyways!

Oddly enough these two OSD tracks sound Diablo-dugeon-inspired-like (the movie itself is not worth watching). Not classical, but still Diablo-esque:

The Gene Generation - The Lair
The Gene Generation - Main Theme

Wow! These are both REALLY good! Thanks a lot!

OK, here's a few more, ambient mood-setters (VNV has lotsa them):
VNV Nation - 4am
VNV Nation - Intro
VNV Nation - As it Fades (2nd Movement)
And if you're really desperate, here are tracks from one of the best Diablo-clone ever made: DarkStone, released in 1998 (for me it was an enjoyable game, even had a few thoughts of making this game's own variant in WarCraft 3 as a Campaign):

Darkstone Music - Town #1
Darkstone Music - Town #2

Darkstone Music - Wilderness #1
Darkstone Music - Wilderness #2
Darkstone Music - Wilderness #3
Darkstone Music - Wilderness #4
Darkstone Music - Wilderness #5

Darkstone Music - Dungeon #1
Darkstone Music - Dungeon #2
Darkstone Music - Dungeon #3
Darkstone Music - Dungeon #4
Darkstone Music - Dungeon #5
Darkstone Music - Dungeon #6
Darkstone Music - Dungeon #7
Darkstone Music - Dungeon #8
Darkstone Music - Dungeon #9

I)eadnerzhul,

You might consider Mozart's "Requiem"; its different parts offer a full range of the dark melancholy for which you seem to be searching.

If you like string instruments I recommend viewing The Vitamin string quartet. They make covers of rock songs, and they sound fantastic

Why don't you consider one of Chopin's Twelve Etudes, I've played them before and I don't think it sounds so horrible.

Perhaps my song when it's done?

I'm so sorry, operator... But I think he might be wanting some Classical Music from famous (Dead) Composers

Well I don't know too much classical music, but whether or not the composer is dead or famous doesn't matter here, he just wants aggressive music.

You try Tocatta? It's pretty aggressive and it's definitely a classic

Also there's tons of interpreations - lol, you could always go with the Trans Siberian rock/metal interpretation while still being in the classical genre

 

[Jaret]

Evil classical song
Heroic classical song
Calm no-war classical song
Revenge classical music
Betray classical music
There you got some

THIS!

Might not be exactly what you're looking for, but its like a darkness is approaching, but it is alittle short, so you may have to edit it alittle to loop some parts together.
