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.

Not certain if you are still looking for something, but you might try Nox Arcana's "Gregorian Hymm" from their Winter's Knight album. I am not sure if it is heavy enough on the bells for you but it is certainly ominous.

ITunes has the album and you can listen to a sample.

Hope this helps.
