Okay, great Internets ubermind. I need a rather specific music recommendation.

I'm soundtracking Midnight Never Come, and I don't seem to have anything appropriate for a particular scene. Of course, I can't share the details of the scene, but the relevant thing I'm aiming for is the somewhat ominous ringing of bells. Deep bells, not little hand-bells, and it should seem like a threat rather than a triumphant sound. (What can I say? Faeries don't like church bells.)

I know some of you listen to a great many movie scores, and that's probably one of my best bets for finding something suitable. Any suggestions I could go looking for?


Edited to clarify: to borrow Deedop's phrase, I need something aggressively ominous. I also need something that doesn't sound too modern; I'm not actually using truly period music for this soundtrack (though I listened to some while writing the book), but I'm trying to avoid synthetic sounds.

Why don't you try the Manhattan Production Music Library: http://www.mpmmusic.com/html/body_catalogdtl.cfm?cdid=171

On that page, scroll down to Science Fiction. That has ominous-like bells.
