Name this tune!

At 5 minutes in to this video compilation, there's an epic opera song that's well known, but I can't think of the name.

Enjoy the rest of it anyway

It's from the Omen isn't it?

Had a quick look and it seems it is simply called The Omen, was written for the film.

Haven't watched the link, but I gues you're referring to 'O Fortuna' by Carl Orffe. It's from a choral work called Carmena Burana.

What? You haven't watched, and thus not heard the song I'm on about, so you're basing your guess on "epic song that's well known" to determine what particular song I'm on about?

Get out!

I'm not wrong either.

well, on the same clip around 3mins 30, whats that song? and what program/film are they copying?

It sounds like Carl Orfs O'fortuna to me as well, as found in the film excalibur, and dozens of tv shows and adverts.

I can't help you with that one. Not at all familier to me.

Yeah, I have the CD, went to see a Ballet of it in Birmigham a year or so ago, the first ballet I've ever been to, it was amazing, really modern and not at all like classical ballet.

reminds me of the IT crowd, but I doubt an American cartoon would be immitating a British sitcom that only ran for 1 season.

In the 70's Black Sabbath used to come on stage to this and break into Symptom Of The Universe.

That you were surely not.... :confused:

Yeah, Ministry used it on their 'Rio Grande Blood' Album, nice piece.

EDIT: I stand corrected, in fact it was the 2004 No W Album, listen here:

i remember that song from the choir TV show where that guy got a load of people together and performed in the royal albert hall, shame i can't remember the name of the programme or the tune

MajorMaccas · 1 Jun 2007 at 00:57

it's O Fortuna!

Read the thread.

Get a copy of 'Excalibur' on DVD, nothing's more rousing than watching the Knights of the Round Table galloping through the mists on their war steeds with O Fortuna playing in the background.

'Old Spice....the mark of a man'

Superb piece of music

Thanks
