Other pieces are just "epic" the whole time.
(give it about 30 seconds this has points 1, 2, and 4 from above) hell, even high school marching bands can be epic (give about 30 seconds this has all four points from above) so can drum corps (give it about 15 seconds it helps that you'll recognize the piece!) Lastly, there's one surefire way to make an epic moment: soaring horns! Famous examples include Alfred Reed's Russian Christmas Music Harmony changes, harmony changes, common tones, and common tones. It gets even better at the recapitulation. I haven't met anyone who listens to this and doesn't sense the "epic" aspect. The finale to Bruckner's eight symphony is all about harmony changes.This example has all three of the above aspects. Listen to Fountains of Rome for about 2 minutes (until around 9:30), and pay attention to what you think the "epic moment" is.So, some examples (many taken from the previous thread): There's often a common tone held over in at least one voice, but often it's highlighted and emphasized by the composer.Sometimes the music will go into a doubletime feel in my opinion, this matches the human reaction of relaxation at a moment of climax. Oftentimes the climax at the moment where most people go "whoa.this is epic." has an adjusted meter of some kind.An instrument (or instrument family, etc.) being highlighted in its upper register.From a cultural standpoint, there's a grab-bag of particular harmony changes most of us equate with "epic." In my experience, "epic moments" are pretty easy to explain, as there are some common characteristics: "Epic" music will be slightly different for everyone, and I think we can separate it into "epic moments" and entire "epic pieces."
Joseem invited me to provide an answer based on my previous answer in I would like to get some fresh epic music.
