* In ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'', [[spoiler:a reprise of "Unshaken" plays in the background during Arthur's final moments leading up to his death; depending on what you do with his honor, it can be either [[TriumphantReprise angelic]] or [[DarkReprise sinister]].]]

* The 2009 ''Film/StarTrek'' film employs one, singing a variation of the main theme amidst the dramatic silence of space when [[spoiler: the ''Narada'' is finally being broken up and consumed by the combination of a black hole and the weapons of the ''Enterprise''.]]

* ''WebAnimation/BrokenSaints'' features this in a number of pieces. Some of the pieces are original music, some are classical works, some alternate with OminousLatinChanting, and one of them does include a OneWomanWail.
* The ''World of Playboy'' channel on YouTube interviewed nine women who were getting their nipples pierced on Melrose Avenue. An all-female chorus starts in as the subjects lie supine on the table, and underscores both the moment of perforation, and the subsequent cool-down. The chorus tends to sing ''pianissimo'' for those women that take it well, and ''fortissimo'' for those women that yowl.

** ''Theatre/{{Volta}}'' has this in "Modern Jungle", "The Change", "Suspension", and "Battle of the Men".

* "Whisper" from ''Theatre/{{Amaluna}}'', used during the [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Manipulation scene]], has New Age-style chanting.

* In Ralph Vaughan Williams's version of ''Literature/ThePilgrimsProgress'', the anguished wordless harmonies of a Chorus of Doleful Creatures accompany the scene with Apollyon.

* Featured in the ''Anime/AikatsuStars'' song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4ZdMLQWfKM Dreaming Bird]].

* ''VideoGame/MetroidPrimeTrilogy'' does this in their title themes. Also, their end credits themes. The HubLevel and/or first level typically has this as well: Tallon Overworld in ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime'', Temple Grounds in ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime2Echoes'', and Bryyo Cliffside in ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime3Corruption''.

* ''{{Rosenkreuzstilette}}'' uses Ethereal Choirs and OminousLatinChanting in songs like "Heavenly Snow Dance ~Entirely Pure~", the opening scene theme, "Dark Purple Moonlight", Grolla's stage theme, and "Last Battle ~Requiem for Myself~", the final boss theme.

** It also gets a [[AutobotsRockOut face-melting rocked-out version]] in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdMhTL5bZrs "The Battle For Everyone's Souls"]], with the OneWomanWail intact.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSorp9x3nUE "The Judge"]], the final boss theme from ''{{Kamui}}'', uses this.

* ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime 3: Corruption'' has this in their main theme. Also, it's end credits theme. In the title theme, it's dramatic, and a rendition of the classic metroid theme. In the [=ECT=], it's very soothing and beatific.

* Happens in almost every episode of ''[[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb]]'' whenever Phineas says "I know what we're gonna do today".

* Used at various points throughout the Music/MurrayGold scores for ''Series/DoctorWho''. Generally acting as a musical personification of Time, although this sometimes ends up as a OneWomanWail. For the Daleks it becomes OminousLatinChanting. Notable at the end of "Gridlock", when the population of New Earth sings an ACappella version of Abide with Me.
** That's not Ominous Latin Chanting, it's Ominous Hebrew Chanting, which translates to "what is happening?"

* In the [[WesternAnimation/CLassicDisneyShorts classic Disney short]], ''[[Disney/TheOldMill]]'', the howling wind that can be heard just before the big storm begins (and at one point, during the storm) is portrayed as being this.
