Imaginary Program: Ekaterina Gordeeva: Ribbon

[LieveKitty]

She's fantastic !

It seems like she was flying instead of skating <3

[KarinasPets]

Katia you are amazing

[kynziesmedsrud13]

this is amazing! i am just starting to use a ribbon for my routine, and it helped a lot! (:

[italianjen29]

I really liked the music. What is it?

[idkyetdou]

This is truly beautiful! Lovely choice with the song and skater. :')

[giulyedlover]

sooo poetic

[TMSW11]

I love her so much

[margaramilla]

i like this music much better than the one used in the original program, And Katia is just the best, she is my favorite.

[Pierangela58]

Good Video!!!

[MelleAndKev]

If you REALLY hate these things (like most of us do) then stop promoting and encouraging it....

If you're really that superstitious then you probably shouldn't be on line anyway.

I'm not posting this stupid comment anywhere and I'm sure I'll live to tell about it.

[skirtie2002]

This is so beautiful

[tempermental]

this is dreamily and emotionally beautiful. She makes me want to skate...

[DinaxD]

Me too. Aww! <3

[jprush]

I think that I liked this music with the program over the original.

[music2themax4me]

wow...that was so cool...the ribbon looked like the magic that always surounds disney characters

[AnyaAngie]

Thank you, but you are smart enough to know that Anastasia was not made by Disney, right?

[Reverie19]

Beautiful!

[diabolik0sixsixsix]

this is so beautifull , I'm speachless , I love this song for long ago but the piano version is dreamly beautiful !

And the combination of skating ,ribbon dance and blue reflections of the ice and smoke gives such a nice felling of fantasy and dream land , love it ... so much xD

[pianofingers14]

This is so beautiful! Could you please tell me who the composer of the song is? I really want the sheet music.

[AnyaAngie]

It's called Once Upon A December and it is composed by Stephen Flaherty and the lyrics are by Lynn Ahrens. It is performed here on piano by Sally Harmon, and on piano in my other video by Emile Pandolfi. The original orchestral version is in a special arrangement of a similar video I recently added, as with the instrumental pop version of it.

[pianofingers14]

I know who wrote it and the song. I'm asking for this particular version. Is it in print or did Sally Harmon just improvise, making sound different. Is there a written version of the way she plays it.

[AnyaAngie]

Ohhh I see what you mean! Sorry for my late response. I apologize also that Sally's arrangement is not available in sheet music. She is still a little-known musician, but I love her work.

[maly7289]

LOVE IT! : D

[Stollhofen]

Great job with matching the music with the dancing. :D

[bluesaphirexx18]

it works so perfectly! You did a great job. I know so many people have asked you to send the music, but i can't download it for some reason, this version doesn't exist. If you could send it, it would be great.

[AnyaAngie]

It's no trouble at all!

[bluesaphirexx18]

thankyouu

[olydin]

Técnica, garra, coragem, beleza, charme, sensualidade, doçura, simpatia...tudo isso numa só mulher: Katia Gordeeva.

[sk8zilla93]

[AnyaAngie]

I can try. It's "Once Upon A December" performed on piano by Sally Harmon.

[sk8zilla93]

[joaqmad]

This is beautiful! Is there any chance that u can send me the music, i soooo want to put it on my ipod! it's lovely!

[AnyaAngie]

Sure. I'm sorry it took so long to reply, as I've had dreadful computer problems.

[liveforlife2494]

Beautiful music, very nice program. Never seen a ribbon element in figure skating.

[4seasonspring]

the song is really nice.^^

Can u pls send me the piano sheet of the song at:

emerald_tsm88@yahoo(dot)co(dot­)uk

thanks in advanced.

[fashiondesigner552]

was she also a rhythmic gymnast?

[AnyaAngie]

No but her daughter is and the program was inspired by her.

[hamsik97]

I thought her daughter is also a figure skater?

[AnyaAngie]

Yes Dasha also skates competitively.

[jbreckette]

I love this version and music. so much better and powerful!

[catthh22]

I really like it !! She's so graceful !!

[lolironieHM]

no still dont like her she is good a little tiny tiny crumb

[AnyaAngie]

Considering she's 36 and a mother of two, I'm not surprised. Her oldest daughter just turned 15, maybe you should be watching her if you prefer teenagers.

[mylastlife]

If sgei was still alive they might have gotten third gold medal at 1998...i always wonder.

[mylastlife]

why dont you find video of her younger days? she is PAIR skater.They made their mark in the history of skating. around 20++ GOLD MEDALS.

[lolironieHM]

ur horribele i like mirai nagasu and caroline zhang better and flexible!!! we dont like u !!! down down

[AnyaAngie]

That isn't me honey, that is Ekaterina Gordeeva back in 1999, you might have heard of her, she's the greatest PAIRS skater of all time.

[mylastlife]

HAHAH you dont need to do "contortion" to win gold medal. Oh what is the piont.YOU DONT KNOW THAT THAT IS GORDEEVA??? no point talking to you.

[iceskatergurl12]

wow she is such a graceful skater and the ribbon made it look sooo pretty when she would spin. && great job on doing the music it looked really good!! :]

[catthh22]

OH NO sorry she's not their coach Ekaterina Gordeeva choreographes their programs !!

[catthh22]

She is now Anaïs Morand and Antoine Dorsaz 's coach (champion skating pair in Switzerland) !!! Type their names and you'll find videos of them.

[oOSchneewittchen0o]

i don´t like this version of the song but the girl is still very good

[AnyaAngie]

Pandolfi's version is even better I think, but I don't think I can edit the music to fit the program like I did for this one LOL.

And yes, after what, 30 years, Katya SHOULD be very good hahaha. Sergei should be very proud of her RIP.

[twinsbubbe]

So,so beautiful and in loving memory.

[insaniaxe]

Wish I could play like that.

[malky211]

[animepwincess]

[anaisbzh]

i prefer better this version with the piano version of Anastasia than the original!! The music matches 10 times better !!

[chilewilly]

wow she makes that proformance look beautiful with that thing she has in her hand~!

[ChristianMusician]

I love this piano version of the song. :) I had to find the sheet music after I heard this. And now I'm learning it. The song works perfectly with the ice skating too. :D

[kathaya]

wait, so you replaced the original music with Anastasia?

wow it looks so good like this, the music chosen fits perfectly!

would it be possible for you to post the original with the original music please? :)

[AnyaAngie]

Sure, I'll do that when I can.

[kathaya]

thanks! ;)

[ibcrazy4pb]

she wasn't skating to this was she?

[AnyaAngie]

No I said that in my synopsis. She was skating to another piano piece of music, one that was classical rather than film-related.

[ibcrazy4pb]

of course.

silly me.

i should pay more attention :/
