Hy!
I am searching this music for already some good time (years), but can't get it. I didn't get also some sample to put it, so that you could recognize it. But now, I've decided that record it myself with my voice and put sample. I know you will be probably laughing, but this is also to know how much I want to know this music (and I hope to be enough for someone to recognize it somehow).
Please help!

I really want it.

I think I recognize the tune. However, when I checked the composition I assumed it was I found that I was completely off base. It is a classical tune correct?

What did you first have in mind? Yeah, I think it is classical tune.
I just can't get that music, but I believe there is someone who will recognize it.

I have to agree with velocityg4; I can't make head nor tail of your link, - a truly horrible looking site - and certainly cannot find the download link to the file you ask about. I don't even see where it might be. Indeed, MS Explorer (yes, in the Caucasus I am back to the world of MS, not by choice, I hasten to add) cut in with an error message when I clicked on it and shut down access to the internet. So, while I know quite a bit about classical music and will be more than happy to assist you in attempting to identify a piece, please make it easier for others to try to help you.
Cheers

You just enter those three letters in and that is it.
Maybe this link will be easier (just click on the Record.mp3 and you will know the rest):

Hi, welcome to MacRumors!
First of all, try singing it into Midomi (http://www.midomi.com/). It's a website that analyzes your input and tries to match it to an existing song.
If that doesn't work, do tell anything you know about the song. Where you first heard it, what radio station, etc. Obviously, you wouldn't hear a classical song as a rock concert so that might help.

Right. Thanks for that link. This time, I did manage to download it and found...that what I can hear is a bit of somewhat off-key singing. Okay, from what I can make out of it, it might (just might) be a piece from close to the end of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. Then again, it might not. It also has tsome of he sense of a sort of heroic climax that one sometimes gets in movie scores (say, Dances With Wolves - although I know it's not that, or Gladiator, for example).
I know how frustrating it is to have a piece of music resound endlessly in your head, and not be able to recall it; for years, I had the tune for Resnacek's Overture to Dona and Dianna resonating my head, not knowing what it was called.
If you can come up with anything more, please post.
Cheers and good luck

Thanks for trying!
It's not 1812 Overture. If I get some idea to help identifying it, I will surely put it or write something to help.

It's something epic (or aping epic style music), and, if classical, is probably from the 19th century, rather than earlier (ruling out Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart). Try again, and if anything occurs, please post it.

You're not thinking of 'Ride of the Valkyries' are you?

I agree that it's most likely post-Beethoven, but given the source, it could be anything. :p

It's not Ride of the Valkyries, but thanks anyway! Iam pretty sure it is post Bethoween.

Maybe it is the "Scottish" symphony no. 3 from Mendelsohn Bartholdy you are looking for?
It's hard to tell, so maybe you perhaps give some more hints about the piece - was it symphonic, vocal, or from a solo concert (e.g. violin/piano)? Which instrument carried the tune? Is there some music you know in a similar style?

I cannot tell so much, because I heard this music on trailer Face/Off, but it wasn't known theatrical trailer or teaser trailer, but trailer for Face/Off when for TV, so probably the studio that was showing it, crafted the trailer and put it. The music was beautiful and I am pretty sure heard that music even before that. I even sent mail to studio, if they could list me scores during the Face/Off trailer, but I still got no answer. The music was like some sad score. I would really like to tell more, but I can't. The best it would be to put some sample that could be cleaner or more proper, to be closer to original score or at least to that part put it.

Have you looked here (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119094/soundtrack)yet?

Berlepsch has reminded me of something; what about Mendelsohn's piece "Fingal's Cave"? That has a touch of the sort of epic crescendo your piece has, and is an utterly haunting piece of music. Mendelsohn is also the right era for what you might be looking for.
Cheers and good luck

Of course, but it's not.

I listened to it, but it's not it. :) Still had to have head up and to find it somehow.
