I don't know if someone has written a theory about music and role-playin=
g,
but these are my personal suggestion to enhance the experience:
Prax campaign opening titles: Tchaikovsky, Swan Lake Act II No. 10
Discovery: Wagner, Mourning March from "The Twilight of the Gods"
Farewell: Meat Loaf, "Objects in the Rear View..." and "I'd Lie for Your"
from, for example, "The Very Best of Meat Loaf" and Deep Purple, "Soldier=
of
Fortune" from "Stormbringer".
Ending titles: ELP, "Farewell to Arms" from "Black Moon"
Heroic but doomed action: Mussorgsky, "Pictures at an Exhibition" N=B0 10=
"The
Great Gates of Kiev" (but only in the orchestral version)
Elric! and Hawkmoon opening titles: Hawkwind (also a good name for an Orlanthi clan), "Assault & Battery" from "Warrior on the Edge of Time"
Elric! and Hawkmoon closing titles: Hawkwind, "Golden Void" op. cit.
Faerie Setting: Blackmore's Night, "Shadow of the Moon" (ample choice of Faerie themes)
and so on.
