The real issue is that there is extremely low likelihood that the speculations of the untrained, on a topic almost pathologically riddled by dynamic considerations and feedback effects, will offer anything new.
Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible. -- Lawrence of Arabia

They would like Jeremy Soule, of Elder Scrolls fame. I kind of have mixed feelings about him - the new Skyrim theme seems a bit shitey to me. But the older Morrowind tune is good, and immortal, and fulfills the criteria.

There has been another good populariser of classical music in recent times as well. Aye... It's a good tune once it gets started. Bit of talking first, but that can't be helped.
