Two Steps From Hell is an amazing group to listen to. It's all orchestral music with choirs on occasion and they got a lot of emotional or intense songs that are good inspirations for certain scenes. I'll sometimes listen to Queen, Pink Floyd or David Bowie when I write. It's strange but I find Pink Floyd's music has a very calming effect on me.
@JellyKat, Yay! I thought you would. I love it too. It's been one of my favorite tunes. I am a huge fan of Howls Moving Castle. It is one of the best animations I've ever seen.

Not all are calm music, but they sure can be inspiring.
