seconds 0:38 and on of "TRON Scherzo" on the soundtrack of the 1982 movie TRON track 7, by Wendy Carlos, performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. You can hear this part of the song in the second half of the free Amazon clip for this track, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026P5XL8
epic: seconds 5:15-5:35 or so on Black Sabbath's Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener (the first song on album: "Vol. 4")
(i guess i should list all the best Black Sabbath songs somewhere -- but briefly, the compilation album We Sold Our Soul for Rock n' Roll is a great collection)
