I'm going to try to be specific as possible, but it's kind of hard. There is a dramatic opera song sung in either Latin or German that is used in several cliche movie previews. It has a choir and a full orchestra (brass and strings) and a very large bass drum. I think the song is in 6/4 time. It is a very intense song, even when quiet. It is used in WAY too many movie previews and also in many parodies of previews. Could you tell me what the name of the song is and/or where to find it? Thanks!

From your description it sounds like O Fortuna (from Carmina Burana) by Carl Orff.

That's exactly it! Thank you. Not even the place where I heard the song from knew the name. They just had it on one of their CDs.
