My PS.com search-fu is weak today
 

UGH !!!!

I'm looking for a song/music, I forget the name, but the best way to describe it is, in the movie EXCALIBUR, after Arthur gets the grail and is riding with his Knights to the final battle, that music that's played over the action.

I know TR had mentioned it in a thread quit awhile ago, ergo my PS.com search-fu is weak.

What's the name of that song/music ???!!! :confused:

AM -- Nice link. It looks as if it's tack #15 "The Land And The King".

Holly -- It is most likely is a Wagner, but just which one ???

Wagner
 

I believe it is, "O Fortuna", which is a classic, IMHO. Wagner pays his respects to the situation in the movie, with uncompromising style.:)

Pat,

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You......:lifter

Good work, Holly, it is "O Fortuna", from Carmina Burana.

TSO does an excellent electronic version.

Great scene, along with Arthur being carried off after his death.

TR

Yes Sir, A scene I remember watching when I was young. :o

Uhhh Guys? Carmina Burana is by Carl Orff. O Fortuna is one of the embedded choral works. I don't recall ever hearing it attributed to Wagner. And I agree - it's incredibly moving music. We heard the TSO version in concert last year (thanks for the recommendation TR) and loved it. FWIW - Peregrino
