When it comes to climactic battle scenes, you need epic music. John Williams provided just that when scoring Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, with Duel of the Fates.
I really love the emotion, lyrics, and pace of this. It fits the epic final scenes of Phantom Menace so well, especially the duel between Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and Maul.
A little trivia: The lyrics are partly based on an ancient Welsh poem and are sung in Sanskrit. For Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Duel of the Fates was adapted into a more tragic piece called Battle of the Heroes, which I will post in the near future.

I'd love to hear what you think of this music!
