History Main / EtherealChoir

* On ''Series/{{Glee}}'', the beginning or end of a scene or something dramatic happening is accompanied by a "doo ba doo ba doo ba doo" or "doooo-BOP"

* Music/{{Bjork}}: Beautifully done in a piece like "Sonnets/Unrealities XI" and "Pleasure Is All Mine" and BREATHTAKINGLY done in "Who Is It (Choir Mix)", all from ''Music/{{Medulla}''.

* The Dazzlings' {{leitmotif}} in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks''. They even [[MakeMeWannaShout weaponize it]] during their final battle with the Rainbooms.

* ''Series/CallTheMidwife'' often features the nuns of Nonnatus performing their daily deovtions, including singing hymns relevant to the themes of the episode. In earlier seasons, the ethereal choir would be heard OnceAnEpisode, with the hymn becoming an InsertSong over emotional scenes or the episode's conclusion. Laura Main, who plays Sister Bernadette, gives a particularly haunting performance of "O Come Emmanuel" in the 2013 Christmas special as Jenny and Sister Evangelina care for an elderly woman living in squalor.

* When Yoda Fights Dooku in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' for about 20 seconds (ominous). [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnFe6wk3gDI 1:30-1:52]]

* ''Wiki/RPCAuthority'', Log 187 describes a choir of angels announcing the arrival of [[https://rpcauthority.wikidot.com/rpc-919 RPC-919]], a space toast which tastes disappointedly average.

* One of the main themes of ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'' is a slightly dischordant choir singing a cappella.

* In ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'', G. Ligeti's 'Requiem' is used with the apelike proto-humans (and later the less ape-like humans) encountering the uncomprehensible.

** "True Creation Requires Sacrifice" choir in the beginning reflect Galadriel's broken heart.

* The opening verse to Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}}' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" from ''Music/LetItBleed'' is sang like this.

* Theme From Flood" from ''Music/{{Flood|TheyMightBeGiants}}'' by Music/TheyMightBeGiants also starts of with a male and female choir singing the "theme" song" of the album.

* Dreamgirls has a reoccurring chorus that chants "Showbiz, it's just showbiz" often to demonstrate that [[TruthInTelevision something behind the scenes has happend]], such as Jimmy Early getting fired, and when the Dreams get their own act as part of Curtis' plan to drop Jimmy from the label.

* Ravel's ballet music for ''Daphnis and Chloe'' features a wordless chorus which has an extended ACappella bit in between the first two scenes (though this can be replaced with instruments if no chorus is available).

* Zora's Domain in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime''. Also, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knLCbS02T1Y Final Hours]] music in ''Majora's Mask''. The Forest Temple and Stone Tower have ''ominous'' ethereal choir.

* ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} 6'' has ''Sogno di Volare ("The Dream of Flight")'', a stirring paean to the achievements of mankind. It's the direct opposite of OminousLatinChanting, and *would* be an AwardBaitSong except it encapsulates the entire point of a game of Civilization-"filling the universe with wonders and glory" and "raising Man through their own aceivements" (missing the criteria of just being there to be there).

* ''Wiki/RPCAuthority'', Log 187 describes a choir of angels announcing the arival of [[https://rpcauthority.wikidot.com/rpc-919 RPC-919]], a space toast which tastes disappointedly average.

* The ''[[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants SpongeBob B.C.]]'' special has this during an OverlyLongGag where [=SpongeGar=] is coming to a realization, using quick cuts to him, the fire and some flowers while we hear a chior. This is lampshaded when the scene briefly cuts to a live-action barbershop quartet harmonizing.
