FANTASY SKATING MUSIC

Jan 23, 2013 12:23

Sochi 2014 is barely a year away and things are heating up! But aside from the costumes and the inevitable hot messes that the upcoming Olympic season is sure to deliver, the thing I always look forward to is knowing what music skaters are going to skate to ( Read more... )

Since I first started watching figure skating, this is the only piece of music I've wanted to see Mao Asada skate to. ;AAA;

Somebody anybody. I'll be bawling anyway due to the 394034 retirements that will happen as soon as Sochi is over. Give me bittersweet music.

I'd die if anyone skated to the Legend of Zelda or Professor Layton (and let's not even talk about LOTR) music

I mean come on there's gotta be some nerd skaters out there

Charlie White said he likes LotR. UNLEASH IT. He's got hobbit hair and Meryl looks like an elf.

omg yes they could do a really cute SD to Concerning Hobbits or something

I need this to happen

Yes! I've always described Merlie as Sam and Galadriel. They can just fukken' SKATE into Mordor and who the fuck's gonna stop them.

Meryl and Charlie should skate their Olympic freedance to music from the TV series The Tudors, by Trevor Morris. Charlie as Henry VIII, and Meryl as Anne Boleyn.

There are four separate soundtracks, so plenty of pieces to pick from, with a nice variety ranging from quiet to dramatic to passionate to playful, so lots of different tempos to use. My dream program would be:

"Title Theme," until about 1:14.

OMG I got on _skating first thing after waking up and then thought I must be still asleep when I saw this post...uhm, ARE YOU MY TWIN? I've always always always wanted someone to skate to Eugene Onegin, it's been my fantasy skating music for years, and I was just watching some La Bayadere ballet performances on youtube last night imagining it being skating instead.

I love the polonaise from EO (program opener, perhaps?) but I think the waltz is magical and builds perfectly at the end. I seriously think Eugene Onegin is a perfect Sochi program waiting to happen. It's absurdly underused in skating (or never-used at the worlds level, maybe?), but it's Tchaikovsky, opera, and the everybody in Russia knows the story. IA I think Meryl/Charlie could do it really well, but it's a bit DF-ish (which could be good or bad depending on who is criticizing) and I really want it to be done by Russians. It's so easy to imagine it as a dance FD, but I think it's more perfect for mens. It could be the perfect OGM vehicle for Plushy, with choreography ( ... )
