History Main / VictoriousChorus

* The end of ''Film/{{Return of the Jedi}}'' (''Star Wars'' episode VI) had a choral piece in the soundtrack when the fireworks were going off on Endor, celebrating the [[spoiler: destruction of the second Death Star and the defeat of TheEmpire]].

* ''Film/TheMatrixRevolutions''. Near the end of the movie when the [[spoiler:Agent Smiths]] are being destroyed, the chorus starts singing triumphantly.

** ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}''

When you hear a chorus, combined with OrchestralBombing, it sometimes means that something epic is happening. Usually, in a minor key, the chorus is used to reinforce the atmosphere of a battle. But when it shifts to a major key it becomes this trope. It usually means that the hero has defeated the villain once and for all, the hero has obtained the ultimate MacGuffin, or something like that.

* The composer Music/HiroyukiSawano has this as something of a CreatorThumbprint, along with the related tropes of OneWomanWail and OminousLatinChanting. Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn and Manga/AttackOnTitan have lots of examples in their soundtracks, with the theme of the former, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si_IAMPOXlQ Unicorn]], being representative.

The {{Standard Snippet}}s for this trope are the Hallelujah chorus from the ''Messiah'' oratorio by Handel and "Ode to Joy" from [[LudwigVanBeethoven Beethoven]]'s Symphony No. 9.

* The 10th mission of ''VideoGame/BluePlanet: War in Heaven'', ''Aristria'' ends with the ''[[TheBattlestar Toutatis]]'' trashing the enemy destroyer ''Hood'' and the heroes having captured one of the villains' supply ships, delaying their attack on Earth by about a few months, giving the heroes enough time to launch a counterattack, all the while an uplifting and heroic chorus plays in the background, listen to it [[http://youtu.be/AMqMckzibSE?t=19m46s here]], it's from a let's play, sadly.

* The ''{{Franchise/Halo}}'' theme is generally used for awe inspiring moments, but sometimes it is involved during victories, such as when the Chief blows up a Covenant assault carrier in ''Halo 2'', or when Kat explains her genius plan to Carter in ''Halo: Reach''.

* There is some choir singing at the climax of ''TheLastUnicorn'', when the unicorns are freed.
