Sting has a nice album Songs from the Labyrinth.

He certainly does. It's rather brilliant.

I've found that the musical scores for older Italian thrillers are very appropriate for fantasy gaming. Goblin's title track for Dario Argento's Suspiria is, for example, perfect for any game (or game session) that deals with witchcraft, while songs like Le Notti Erotiche dei morti Viventi (a bonus track on the Joe D'Amato Antropophagus soundtrack) work very well for high tension action. Ditto the repetitive Metropolis from Stelvio Cipriani's work on L'invasion Des Zombies.

Henry VIII actually wrote some pieces of music that are still well-regarded.

I'm Henry the eighth I am
Henry the eighth I am, I am
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam)
I'm her eighth old man, I'm Henry
Henry the eighth I am
