While searching for inspiration on how to write epic orchestral pieces, i came across this awesome website. It has a ton of pieces from a ton of genres.

Down of the left side you can browse their selection by genre, mood, and even instrumentation.

I figure this is a great resource for various reasons: you can use it to hear how/what instruments are used for certain moods/styles. You can search for songs featuring certain instruments so you can hear how specific instruments or groups of instruments are used. It has already helped me gain a better understanding of the capabilities of some instruments and opened up my mind to using instruments in ways i didn't think about.

Also, to the right of each song is a description of what the song is like, and there is a little target icon that will show you multiple versions of the songs that may include/remove different instruments or have slightly different feels. It also tell you all the information like Key and, time sig, and tempo.

You can't download any of it for free, but you can listen to everything as much as you want.

Here is the link

@crookedmelody do you have latest adobe flash player cause the website does seem to be mostly flash based. Although if it said something like this webpage can not be displayed etc I don't think will have been much help
