Classic Music Quiz

Hi
There are several popular tunes on TV Series, Movies etc but it's difficult to find the title / author.
Anyone know the title of the popular classic songs:

1. Opera / classic song about Thor/Scandinavian god, usually sung by a fat lady.
When you hear the tunes, you can feel "something powerfull will come soon".

2. Orchestra (Vangelis?) about Rising Sun (the title is "Morning" or something).
The tunes is famous for timpani sound.

What is the title of the above song/tunes?
Thank you.

Dang, you beat me to it :-P

Nicolo Paganini's 24th Caprice? (Used on 'South Bank Show')
JS Bach - "Air on a G String" 3rd Orchestral Suite, 2nd Movement. And how about Vivaldi? Spring (of his four seasons) is quite recognisable IIRC. Oh and how about Handl's Water Music?

I'm sure there are loads more...
