[sophie_1003]

Anyone got any favourites or just one they think fit appropriately under the above heading? Thinking along the lines of Orff- Oh Fortuna but am open to others!

nb. In any discussion about epic music, you have to exclude Wagner, or it would be too one-sided.

^ did I miss the singing bit?

[joggerjayne]

poop

[sophie_1003]

definitely jj, that's the sort of thing I was thinking of!

[sophie_1003]

sorry, didn't necessarily mean song as in singing, just any piece of music really!

[joggerjayne]

Is there any parallel universe in which any of us will ever be able to listen to

O Fortuna ... without thinking of a man on a surfboard ?

Don't they say that the test of a true music lover is ...

... can you listen to the William Tell Overture without visualising The Lone Ranger ?

[joggerjayne]

No-K ... are you just asking about the spelling ?

[sophie_1003]

lol, I don't think about the man on a surf board, I think about when my boyfriend asked (completely serious) if they were just singing "Hee haw, Hee haw!" actually singing it as this in full blown performance mode.

I used to go out with a Simon Montague......it's not him though.....

[joggerjayne]

LOL

Carmina Burana is actually quite naughty, isn't it ...

It's all about drinking and shagging !!

[joggerjayne]

I think it was Romeo Montague ... rather than Simon.
