The first 1:30 seconds almost brought me to tears. The subtle sadness in that flowing flute rippling and swirling with complicated emotions."Vltava" from Bedřich Smetana Ma Vlast symphonic poem

os168, I don't understand. What double standard do you think I'm applying?
The movie Kundum makes the Chinese government out to be merciless invaders and destroyers of Tibetan life. If Patrick skated to the soundtrack he would have to be prepared to field questions about the issue.
(OT. By the way, my sister met the Dalai Lama in Nepal shortly after the end of the movie (I mean, in real life, at that point in the Dalai Lama's journey), and served as an English tutor to the children of the priests in his retinue.)
I could not get rid of the image of Alissa Czisny from my head when I listened to Sibelius' music.Another great composer for full-blooded music is Sibelius. Here is the Nocturne from his King Christian II suite. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4eAsOZtkIk
How about this one, also composed by Tan Dun, for the Short Program? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=3QW5BW6pyY8#t=117s
Some suggestions
Led Zeppelin's "Moby Dick"
"Vltava" from Bedřich Smetana Ma Vlast symphonic poem
Tan Dun compositions for the movie Hero
Jupiter, Bringer of Jollity by Gustav Holst
"Escape to India" from the Kundun soundtrack, by (interestingly enough) Phillip Glass
Muse, Knights of Cydonia

Skipped to 30 seconds on. Obviously the music need to be edited/recorded over to cut out any vocals, but the sound has an haunting, edgy, epic quality all over it. Great pacing, maintaining the rhythm and tension Patrick lacks in his other program. He need to win over the audience with his technical marvel while breaking their heart playing the fool king/lord/knight, braving doom with melancholy likely leading to a tragic but glorious ending waltzed in a very dark fairy tale/fantasy. In the right hands, this would make a fantastic competition program that can also sell out shows.
A more lighter version have been recorded by others such as this one

"I Wanna Be Loved By You" I think it suits him pretty well.
I think he should do "I can do that" from Chorus Line.
