Bubsa Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I'd like to appeal to the more cultural posters, if I may. (I hereby understand the risk element of this) I want some really powerful orchestra music. The things I have in mind are like Sarabande by Handel, Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries or Orff's - Carmina Burana. My reason being I thought it would be awesome music to drive to :P If anyone has any suggestions for me, please post :) This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

How2PK Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I'll try my father tommorow, when he gets back from work, he's into opera and stuff, he got loads of stuff. :wink: Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!

Mayjest Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Quite often when it gets hot, I put on my air conditioning (ie wind down my windows) and stick on classical fm. I look so cool 8) Either that or some random cheesy love songs. The Power of Love (from back to the future) is always a great song to drive to. Doesn't make you look gay at all :lol: Goals to get my skills back up to a barely respectable level on the high scores: Currently going for Bone to Peaches spell. It's amazing how boring doing the same repetitive task is! Stupid MTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 I borrowed my friend's mum's soft top Suzuki. Put the roof down and WHAM came on. Anyways, that's besides the point! Specific songs and not just composers would be very helpful This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danabis Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 That Opera song from Philadelphia, from Carmen. That's powerful as hell. No idea what it's called though, sorry.

Nadril Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Well... not realy opera, but you can always check out Nightwish. The lyrics are great, and the main singer is amazing. (a female) I'd check them out, other than that, i don't know any actual opera bands >.< (unless a metal opera counts lol, than Avantasia is a good CD to check out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you may want to be more explicit about HÃÆÃâÃâändel - a Sarabande is a dance. HÃÆÃâÃâändel and others wrote hundreds if not thousands of them - which do you mean? :P I'll see if I can think of something :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azvareth Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Uhm, I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but Hans Zimmer is an amazing composer. Try his "Roll Tide" and the Gladiator soundtrack he made. It's just instrumental though, so not really opera, but meh... he's got some powerful stuff, so I think you should check him out. :) // Azvi.

Mercifull Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Nightwish are great. Imagine the cross between operatic singing and metal music and nightwish is what you get. The Phantom of the Opera soundtrack rocks too :D Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

Futurama Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Battle Royale OST - Prologue not sure what the actual song is but its a really famous one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Cross operatic singing with metal background and what do you get? Mature cheddar cheese. No I mean nightwish. Go for some Handel, lots of nice harpsichord. Also not exactly 'powerful' but Beethoven's pastoral symphony is great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barking-Loon Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 yeh man, whats the song off the start of the jackass movie, when they are in the giant trolley, that is sooo cool. That is "Carmina Burana" A recent study shows that 92% of all teenagers have small purple pet elephants named Jack. Put this in your sig if you are one of the 8% who like to do the fandango on Wednesday afternoons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete_the_Viscous Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 What? I just noticed that the post I made in college didn't work. Pah. Oh well. Try Mars, the bringer of war by Holst; it's a lot like the imperial march(which I'd also suggest). On that note, try and get hold of some music by John Williams, who, in case you didn't know, was the guy that wrote the music to a ton of films including Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Schindler's List and Superman. Also, try Vivaldi's Summer, which is quite loud/busy in a "power drive" sort of way (sorry to use that term, please don't hold it against me). As Herr mentioned, Beethoven's Pastoral symphony is a nice one to listen to while driving, as, in fact, are most of the planets (mars being one of them). They aren't like Ride of the Valkyries, though some parts are a bit similar; they're just good in cars, for some reason. If you're just going for sort of "heavy" stuff, then Beethoven's Fifth is a nice one. ...and ninth, for that matter, but it's not as booming. The William Tell Overture is probably good in cars--I've never actually tried that, but it's the type. I'm out of suggestions; there are lots of good ones at the back of my mind, and if I remember, I'll post them. deviantart account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pay it gladly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
