Aye, lots of stuff by Verdi (for those who don't know, that's an aria
from Lucia di Lammermoor, which is sorta Romeo and Juliet in a Scottish
setting, by an Italian composer and sung in Italian, which doesn't stop
it from being hauntingly beautiful) is good.  Bits from Aida would also
go well, especially Triumphal March.  The entire Massa da Requiem
provides just the right dark mood.  Swinging over into German music,
Wagner wrote more than the Valkyrie!  Der Fliegende Hollander, or really
any of his overtures.  Post-battle would definitely be Siegfried's Death
and Funeral March, (especially for the flyboys who got waxed!).  The
Russians provide March Slav, 1812 Overture, and Mussorgsky's Great Gate
of Kiev & Night on Bald Mountain.  

Also, anything with bagpipes is ideal for fighting to.	:)
