More orchestral than classical technically but Penguin Cafe Orchestra are / were supeb. On the go from the 70s but first came to my attention watching a movie called Malcolm in the 90s I think

Music for a found harmonium.

Wouldn't know many of the less known ones but some of my favourites would be the below:

Beethoven - Fur Elise

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfF0zHeU3Zs

Hans Zimmer - Interstellar (Film) Score

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDVtMYqUAyw

Hans Zimmer - Now We Are Free (Gladiator)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yOZEiHLuVU

Hans Zimmer - Time (Inception)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92pbSjxcZb4

Pachelbel - Canon in D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlprozGcs80

Bit of an odd one but its a score in a video game - Elder Scrolls V. Listen to it in the background most days when I WFH.

More operatic that classical but 'Vide Cor Meum' used in the film Hannibal. Written by an Irish man (Patrick Cassidy) i believe and anything of 'The Mission' soundtrack,

The Jonny Greenwood score for There Will Be Blood was amazing, didn't win the Oscar as the score has to be 100% original and he used a brief sample on one of the compositions, harsh

Philip Glass is well worth looking into and in terms of more recent artists Bill Laurance

Might very well have been, but it was in Malcolm first! 1986 Google has informed me. Simon Jeffes of PCO seemed to be the principal music composer on the movie. A very good film from what I remember.

From Star Trek, some of my favourites:

The Motion Picture, later adapted into the Next Generation theme, but I preferred this original version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dCH-IInes0

Klingons fighting V'Ger, this would later be the Klingon theme throughout the various Trek franchises
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbG3N51MEjM

II The Wrath of Khan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wacpO11mWA8

The music during the battle in the Nebula
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8O_C7T5H_s

First Contact
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXrRFjcqUys

Never liked the Motion Picture/NG theme.

Khan movie, I loved, as well as the other 80s ones. The music at the end of Undiscovered Country, where they show the autographs being written, was very emotional.

Surprised no one's mentioned Scorcese's films yet.

Especially Goodfellas.

The Harry Nillson song over Henry's big drug deal day when he's trying to evade the helicopter. Or the Coda from Layla as the bodies are discovered after Robert DeNiro's Jimmy Conway had whacked everyone who helped him with the big JFK robbery.

One I've linked onto music threads many times over the years. Discovered randomly on an Ibiza Chill out album, superb.

The English Garden by Henry Preece

Air's Ce Matin La is a similar dreamy piece
