[capgurken]

all is lost all is lost all is lost all is lost

[ThoraxTheAvnger]

I think that this song is used in too much comedy. It is an extremely epic and amazing song.

I think of Jackass and movies like that when I hear this...

'Tis a shame

[WhiteLioness100]

I'm here from Tower of Terror :P

[maybrook36]

Inspirational piece of music

[darkprose]

@maybrook36 How so?

[SavantOnASpinet]

FED's QE3 Announcement sent me here.

[KaizerKaizi]

whos here from the jackass movie? lol.

[darkprose]

@KaizerKaizi lol. As long as you're here, as far as I'm concerned. Great music is great music---in a concert hall or...being played to a guy jumping off his balcony into his swimming pool, and missing it.

[stefaneverson68]

this is an awesome song, has been and will stay awesome.

[Lagomaster24]

Such inappreciation for great music i hate that. Really?! makes going to the bathroom epic?! no appreciation.

[darkprose]

@Lagomaster24 It is crude, but I take it as...that was their way of appreciating this music. At least they are listening and enjoying the music.

[JayDeLart]

@Lagomaster24 It may not be the appreciation you'd prefer, but it is nevertheless acknowledgment of the basic story of the piece... which is a grand climax; an epic event. I'd take it over hate any day, though it is somewhat of a shame, I'll give you that.

[Lagomaster24]

@JayDeLart i see your point i just do not necessarilily agree with how some show their appreciation, though i will agree that its a form of it.

[HaloRulez2323]

@HaloRulez2323 oh my god you made me laugh so hard XD

[snowtrooperfox]

My math teacher was humming this

[mrsmissnoname123]

ummmmm has a girl buried her boobies in sand?

[simplyme317]

This is the most epically awesome theme/background music ever!!!!!!!!!! I flipping love it.

[mrsmissnoname123]

whats better requiem for a dream or this?

[darkprose]

@mrsmissnoname123 Fortunately we don't have to choose. ;-)

[jukie6699]

well, I found my new ringtone

[robotfroggyhead10]

Holy crapspackle I think I just crapped myself.

[Anorienne]

Oh, the lyrics are gorgeous

[maharley27]

This is the soundtrack that happens to start when i trip with a drink in my hand and my feable attempt to save it in slow motion! LOL!!!

[Daz3DSuffocated]

"Salsa cookies!

Lemon cookies!

They give you Ghonorrea!"

[T0xinCF]

@Daz3DSuffocated That's redicilous ? Are you fucking crazy minded ?

[sickdude197]

@Daz3DSuffocated Wow you must be hard of hearing because the actual lyrics sound nothing like this.

[cjp2062]

lol @ AlexanderRozhenko

[AlexanderRozhenko]

Is it just me or are those breasts in the sand?

[Oisin34]

8 people felt evil while listening to this song... That is why they clicked the "dislike" button.

[brittdennislokker]

Music, as powerful as you were, my brother.

In loving memory of you,

Always in our hearts and soul,

Your sister

[darkprose]

@brittdennislokker This sounds trite on a YouTube response, but I am sorry for your loss.

[brittdennislokker]

@darkprose Thanks for the compassion, but sorry for you, you never met my brother,

and he was never "trite"! It was his funeral song and I will always honor that.

[darkprose]

@brittdennislokker I meant my comment was trite, not yours. Not at all. Actually, I found your thought very moving.

[brittdennislokker]

@darkprose

Thanks for your compassion.

I only wish he was still here

And I hope that on my funeral this song is played also...

Alltough I am not powerful as he was

Regards

[brittdennislokker]

@darkprose

Thanks for your compassion.

I only wish he was still here

And I hope that on my funeral this song is played also...

Alltough I am not powerful as he was

Regards

[brittdennislokker]

@darkprose

Thanks for your compassion

[okkun333]

Best version on Youtube. Good sound, good setup, no annoying images, clear title, nothing to interfere with the beauty of this piece of art.

Sincere thanks to darkprose for the proper upload.

[darkprose]

@okkun333 Thank you very much. The sound quality diminishes a bit when uploaded, and because of copyright difficulties, I couldn't upload the entire work, but I would be happy to send it to you on MP3, if you wish. Just send me an email to my inbox.

[JacksonMichaelBAD]

I CANT DECIDE WHICH ONE I LIKE MORE FROM THESE 3 EPIC SONGS!!!!!

O Fortuna - Carmina Burana

Globus - Preliator

Requiem for a dream-?

? theyre soo cool and i wrote em becuz some of us, i mean a lot of us cant find them ahaha

[FanofBewitched]

@JacksonMichaelBAD Requiem for a dream is great. Have you heard the remix one? I used it for one of my videos I made.

[wow4evr666]

There are no words describe the beauty of this song...even by saying 'beauty' i am not doing it justice

[siennalynn]

Absolutely beautiful! It evokes so much emotion.

[darkprose]

@siennalynn Agreed! Thanks for the comment.

[arthurfehr]

Story of my life

[SuperPwnasaurusRex]

wtf, who disliked? got 8 butts to kick until the end of time, which is also the day this song stops being awesome

[deathgaze05]

Play this while watching Harry potter and the deathly hallows part 2 trailer sooo amazing :D

[Reynasite]

Man, gotta love Roman emo-poetry set to orchestration.

[CloudJordon]

....back in a minute.....gotta go beat up a bear

[LoriZig]

@CloudJordon, this made me LOL for real.

[Twisterzemun]

1:41 i shitted my pants :O

[Anestheticum]

I shit to this song.

[spinmonkey4401]

Every time I listen to this, my instinct is to make a video about the Roman army.

[DustinTheWind2121]

Jackass.

[grail68]

Every fantasy-action movie trailer ever.

[theodortje]

when people ask me if this gets old i just answer : dont ask me that again the answer will be always the same: nooooooooooooo

[superHYUjunior]

I remember when this is played always in the performing of "Lucia" and it's so good. From the first year I've like this. This_is_timeless.

[darkprose]

@superHYUjunior Agreed. Both the music and the sentiments are something human beings will probably always relate to, as long as death, destruction and contingency is a possibility.

[brandoncarrier1]

This song makes anything epic even going too the bathroom to take a shit.

[darkprose]

@brandoncarrier1 Charming. 

[brandoncarrier1]

@darkprose Damn straight!

[kurtywurty85]

@brandoncarrier1 taking a shit is epic.

[Pico147]

timeless......

[TheThrash88]

Jackass...

[MrGtagangster]

[SoulJaninee]

[style40]

Can anyone please give a download link to it i am searching for it ..

[Maximum007]

What sick person would thumbs down this?

[McLawlz]

this song was hard to find

[darkprose]

@McLawlz Surely you jest. There are billion versions of it on YouTube, I think.

[McLawlz]

@darkprose yea, but I could not for the life of me know the name, and when I searched epic orchestral songs, its just ones that people make themselves

[kim90jg]

@darkprose SURELY!

[stuntrek43]

@McLawlz I agree, I kept trying various words to describe it. Found it in a grouping Epic Music!

[mlml]

SALSA COOKIES! WINDMILL COOKIES! THEY GIVE US GONORRHEAAAA! THEY SALTED JUICE! THE LEMON JUICE! AND GAVE US GONORRHEAAAAA!!!!!!

[badassninja33]

@mlml ha ha ha ha that was funny

[navayti]

[Vanitygirl913]

Death Note<3

[darkprose]

@Vanitygirl913 What do you mean?

[Vanitygirl913]

@darkprose A Japanesse TV Show(Death Note) Had Theme Songs For Each Of Its Main Characters, This Was One Of Them.

[darkprose]

@Vanitygirl913 Ah, thank you for the reply. No I am slightly less ignorant. ;-)

[bk2yu]

@darkprose lol its okay if you dont know some random show this song by its self is more epic then any tv show . ty for posting vid!

[darkprose]

@bk2yu Well, I know they have used this music to sell and/or score almost everything. But, I still like to know what some of the references are to. You're welcome.

[iamthebarracuda]

omg curt..

[darkprose]

@iamthebarracuda What is this a reference to?

[MrZee1994]

Awesome11250

picture is desert or sand...

i think

[darkprose]

@MrZee1994 I think the idea is that---and you are correct---they look like sand dunes that change and morph and are in constant motion due to winds, like Fortune, herself.

[furbs1000]

i heard this in a film years ago and i always wanted to know what this song was, so happy i found it. What genre of music is this?????opera???? its just absolutly epic

[Awesome11250]

gota love it but wats with the picture

[darkprose]

@Awesome11250 It's the album cover for this recording.

[Wolflover423]

good part for something like an epic battle of for rome or something...

[albik21]

it is a fantastic music.

[Riesvandijk]

OMG Found it!

[Ardarail]

Donec semper turpis classical ...

[6paths6peins]

Is that german???

[josepharte]

@6paths6peins Latin, actually.

[Shalimarune]

this is such a punchy, crisp recording. lovely! thanks for sharing!

[darkprose]

@Shalimarune Yes, exactly. Very good description. I find that the case with many of Ozawa's recordings, especially with the Bostonians.

[larkie998]

Epic.

[cryofthehorde]

Ryan Dunn will be remembered

[WindBobbaMarket]

Oh Fortune, Like the Moon, you are changeable!

[pivotmasterpk]

If you like this, check out some of the stuff by E.S. Posthumus. Perferably the song "Unstoppable"

[2nadalfederer1]

@pivotmasterpk

Or "Nara" is great.

[ArEdTh]

@Machistadora o fortuna ! velut luna, vita detestabilis, nunc obdurat et un curato ludo mentis aciem....

[ansarami123456789]

The whole thing is about an hour long... a kid in our choir fainted on the last and most intense part. Face plant right off the front of the bleachers. OOOHHH FOORTUUNNAA *Smack* TOTALLY lame for the climax of the piece.

[EZBreezy187]

fucking crusades were epic

[Adzdachilla]

X Factor anyone?

[darkprose]

@BreenaAtkinson83 If anyone wants a high quality file of this music, or any of these tracks, just message me and I will be happy to send them one.

[acerb45666555]

perfect.

[darkprose]

@acerb45666555 Glad you like it. I think there are many excellent recordings of this fine music, this being one that I enjoy.

[98imy]

è prorio un opera leggendaria stupenda!

[MegearaErotica]

I sung the Carmina Burana as a soprano in freshman year, and it sounded magnificent.

[darkprose]

@MegearaErotica Kudos! Freshman year in college, I take it? Are you a professional soprano?

[MegearaErotica]

@darkprose No, freshman year in high school. We actually made it into Disney with the audition tape of that. Also, no, I couldn't be considered a professional, though I've been in singing groups and performances for 10 years. We rocked that concert though.

[darkprose]

@MegearaErotica Oh, well, fantastic! Awesome. Always wonderful to hear about young people that love, and make, music. Keep it up (though I'm sure you will). Any videos of this event online somewhere?

[MegearaErotica]

@darkprose Not that I could ever find sadly. 

[darkprose]

@MegearaErotica I'm going to subscribe to your channel and perhaps you might find some or upload something of your performances in the future.

[AssoLtd]

Genius! And very terrifying! Perfectly fits horror films

[PrincessofNight75]

I sang this song last night at Orcestra hall in MN. this song was soo cool, but reallyy difficult to sing, but i love everyy minute of it!! :) this was on of myy favorite ones along with the second one when guys sing and number 20.

[darkprose]

@PrincessofNight75 Well, kudos. Did you just do O Fortuna or all of Carmina Burana?

[choc0lee]

@darkprose we did the whole carmina burana in high school

[darkprose]

@choc0lee Excellent. It's really a whole piece and cloth, I think. One big, musical narrative and journey, I think, especially book-ended by this charming descent into fate and chance.

[azalm09]

love it, i got it off the bio of Christopher Paolini :) he was listening to this song while he was writing the final battle in Eragon! :D

[RussianMB]

POWWER!!

[kynayo]

I'm singing this with our city's Symphony Orchestra! :D

1st Tenor, :P

[beckford1989]

loved this song ever since wrestlemania 14 and undertakers entrance against kane!!!

[darkprose]

@beckford1989 Excellent. Thank you for listening! Glad you enjoyed it.

[xSunlightandShadowsx]

Aha!! This song was in the Simpsons!!! Just putting that out there...

[darkprose]

@xSunlightandShadowsx Everything has been in The Simpsons, I think.

[Booksie09]

LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

[Capndroid]

Ugh, this adaption's awful. I've listened to several other songs off this album, and thought it was just my opinions on the songs, but hearing this version of O Fortuna confirms it for me. Firstly, it's a bit slower than I'd have liked at the beginning. I suppose it makes it more dramatic, so I can't complain too much. But holy crap, there's zero balance in this song. It's as if one of the soprano's microphones was up higher than everyone else's. I could hardly hear the wonderful men section.

[darkprose]

@Capndroid Which performances or recordings would you recommend?

[dreamingthrough]

@Capndroid - Seiji Ozawa's conducting tends to be ultra-slow, unfortunately.

[Frederick0220]

@Capndroid I haven't heard any other versions but this one seems pretty tight. It's in a lot of movie trailers.

[Frederick0220]

@Capndroid As matter of act, suck your mom's dick. If you don't like the version then go listen to another version. Don't write a paragraph bitching about a perfectly good song.

[MarilynMolkoLove]

I LOVE this song. Amazing

[HoneeMustard]

this is seriously the most epic song in existence. totally timeless.

[efhc12]

vita detestabilis

nunc obdurat

et tunc curat

[BADmanKEYS]

This Song Iz da best orchestra song !!!

[tuigleven]

Hello Darkprose, could you name some music that sounds similar to oh fortuna?

[manc48]

the omen

[darkprose]

@manc48, it actually wasn't in The Omen -- the entire score was written by Jerry Goldsmith. Carmina Burana is in less films than it seems, it is simply that so much music is made which sounds similar to it.

[tuigleven]

@darkprose Could you name some examples of music that sounds similar?

[darkprose]

@tuigleven Many, many pieces of music -- especially music written for cinema. Consider, as I mentioned before, the music from The Omen, by Goldsmith. John Williams' music in the Star Wars prequels has heavy choral forces, too. Film composer Wojciech Kilar's music in Bram Stoker's Dracula and The Ninth Gate. The Requiem Mass by Verdi or Mozart. Mahler's eighth symphony. I'm thinking of large orchestral and choral works, here. There are probably countless examples.

[23jose75]

@darkprose dont forget Hans Zimmer ;)
