Level 35 Troll

Just south of sanity

Reason for contest:

Ok, long story short I know literally nothing about clbumical music. Absolutely nothing. I am writing a novel in which one of the main characters is a clbumical music lover/ruler of the known world. As you can see this is a problem considering I know **** all about clbumical music. In a climactic later scene, I want this character to fight another character with a clbumical piece in the background, that is where you come in.

The Contest:

Find me a suitable piece of clbumical music.

.A suitable piece must be:

.Clbumical

.Very Warlike

.Aggressive

.Absolutely must end in a dramatic crescendo

Well there you have it, that is the contest. One last thing, I am a lazy **** and don’t want to track down the music so a way for me to listen to the music in this thread will give you a considerable advantage (i.e Youtube videos of orchestras playing it, or a download link for me)

If you want any more details about the contest or the novel, to give you more of an idea about the context Tubmail me for any additional info you require. Have fun with the contest the reward is 7BP, enough for episode 2 access.

I should specify when the contest will end. I just purchased a community ad for the contest. So providing I find the piece I will close the contest and reward the winner when the advert expires.

The contest is now closed. I’d like to personally thank everyone who posted in this thread, some wonderful music was posted here regardless of whether you won or not.

The Winrar is Shii with O Fortuna (was posted a few times but he/she/it was first)

I picked it because the piece just seemed perfect, I could really picture the fight and it seemed exactly like the sort of thing that my character would like and have playing.

Well done Shii, I will transfer the BP now

to the rest feel free to troll the **** out of this thread until a mod closes it

I haven't seen a bad idea that I didn't like.

Slightly cliched, but Carmina Burana: O Fortuna is the clbumic piece used in these bits.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuERh0jBjh8

Also, another good one I’m quite fond of is Verdi: Dies Irae, but unfortunately, the ending isn’t very climactic. The first half is VERY aggressive and climactic, so I would suggest simply using the first half.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDFFHaz9GsY

I do love clbumical, and I would suggest more; but most of the others have been taken.

Good luck on your piece!

“Problem Child IV”

Just the other night, on the hot deal forum, amazon was offering 99 of Beethoven’s most essential songs for $1.99. I decided to order it. Reviews are decent, all those songs for $1.99? Thats cheap and why not? Its well done, and nice to listen to sometimes. Price has changed since then. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NWULS0

“Trojan Horse Magnum”

OTOH, looking in the comments for Gustav Holst’s “Mars the Bringer of War”, since it was composed in the 20th century, I am not sure if that qualifies. Use your judgment.

Edit: Gaaaaaaah, did not notice that someone else also recommended it, I r need reading comprehension skillz.

How come you want music in a novel?

Hoping that somebody will make a film about it one day?

The music is a bit of a self indulgence of mine. It will help me write the fight and picture it, I was thinking of an enormous orchestra playing it outside during the fight, as Mr Griffin is the ruler of the world after all.

Like I said Tubmail me if your curious about it, it will probably take years to write anyway, as I already mentioned I am highly lazy!

“Jerk Chicken”

I’m going to make an unorthodox suggestion, since all the obvious ones have been made, and recommend “The Hut of Baba Yaga” by Mussorgsky, Ravel’s orchestration. Salonen conducts the opening part at a really fast tempo, which I think fits well with your project. The song is actually about a man being harbumed by an evil witch, and there’s a bit in the middle where he seems to be getting away but finding her around the corner before the real chase resumes (1:00-2:00 in the video I’m linking). Also, this song is usually performed back to back with the next song as the finale of the “Pictures at an Exhibition” suite, which starts in the video at 2:58. The first chord at 2:58 is the end of “Baba Yaga” and the beginning of the “Great Gate of Kiev”. This song is a VERY nationalistic slow fanfare (perfect for a victory song), and if you think of it as such, you will find it comically drags on. It’s the finale to a very long suite, and it’s basically one big long coda.
