Epica Classical Conspiracy - O Fortuna

[Aroxine]

My eyes are too watery tf sewhati'm typiiing.

There, I wiped them. This is just amazing. I love this song, and Epica too.

[sonicachilles]

WHERE ITS SIMONE??

[Escapist1st]

@sonicachilles Simone appeared only in two songs of the classical set of this concert: "Ombra Mai Fu" and "Stabat Mater Dolorosa". Shame they couldt release this song in The Classical Conspiracy :S

[honestguitarist]

Um, this song isn't by Therion. It was composed by Carl Orff. Therion is just one of the many groups that have done renditions of it.

[ThanatosDei]

@honestguitarist // ANd them are one of the best doing it

[kamiloprideofjesus]

the song is of therion no from epica they share the scenarie in this concert.....

[meiriona]

.... they played this at the concert and it was not on the album? THIS IS A CRIME

[Brynchka]

i mean that's just EPIC! they don't wear that name for nothing ;D

[EdwinMarc]

It's hard to cover "O Fortuna". It's kind of arythimic for metal beats.

[LuminOfMoonlight]

@EdwinMarc tso pulled it off pretty damn well. But the vocals were crap. They sang in Latin with a thick American-English Accent.

[RegiaMCR]

better version than therion's one!

[jezkn]

You can hear so clearly in this where Epica get a lot of their writing influences from (infact some bits of 'Cry For the Moon' are directly lifted from this Orff piece note for note!). Still all credit to them - atleast they are musically literate and can hold their own with an orcehstra which is more than a lot of Metal Bands could

[TheKazragore]

This should absolutely been on the album =/

[bnikolab]

Drums were too loud, I barely heard vocalists.

[soasertsus]

I wish I was there...

[CharlieBladeRemus]

I'm finding it hard to decide which version is better, this one or Trans-Siberian Orchestra's version???

[metaleroec]

Where can i buy this video???

[LadyMorwena]

Why didn't they do a DVD?? Whyyyyyy....

[rayfan9876]

Woo, this is great!

[AnycLove]

It's too bad they couldn't include this son on the album... It's great

[1991MrJake]

This Track is called Carmina Burana, why have they called it O Fortuna?

[dqakanic]

@1991MrJake Because that's the most commonly recognized part of the song.

[EternaDevotee]

@1991MrJake Because Carmina Burana is a collection of 26 songs. What they are playing is the end and beginning song which is named O Fortuna.

[rayfan9876]

@1991MrJake

Carmina Burana I believe was the writer, and it became known as the track's name for some reason.

[jahoodunrama]

@rayfan9876 metalmaster29 already answered this, but i think you may have missed it. Carmina Burana is the name of the collection of songs of which O Fortuna is a part of. Carl Orff is the composer of the music, the lyrics are poems written in the 12th-13th century by clerics.

[metalmaster29]

@1991MrJake O Fortuna is the name of the song. Carmina Burana is a scenic cantata written by Carl Orff. This movement is often mistakenly calle Carmina Burana but O Fortuna is the correct name for it.

[sequoiagrovemetal]

Copyright should be taken away from the person who denied this on the cd...

[10277718]

si no,me equivoco therion saco esta cancion primero

[EarthNightIcedWish]

While its a good live album, it's a shame that they didn't do 13 minute epic "The Divine Consipiracy", which I believe is the highlight of the cd.

[zaphod96usa]

Epica + O Fortuna = AWESOMENESS

[VvFIREVv]

jasjajajajajajajajajajajaja EPica Guatemala!!! yeah!!!! 8 de Diciembre!!!

[skrinchs3]

diganme si ese dvd se puede conseguir por fa

[ladyblue713]

copaddizzzimoooooooooooo

[elzeus]

Therion have one version of this song

[GTSSB]

WOW how original !!! No one would every expect a metal version of this song. You alone must be the inspiration for Trans Siberian Orchestra. Bands like Savatage and Testament could only dream to be like you.

[12barbluesRock]

you do know TSO was around like 6 years before these guys right?

[th3n3wc4d]

Other way around actually.

[TheOnlyOriginalKebim]

man, this sucks. i was wondering anyway... i mean this is one of the classical choirs which is best for changing into a metal song.

[TheOnlyOriginalKebim]

why isn't this on the album??

[wishmasterhu]

it's copyrighted by Carl Orff's family :(

[DeclareFreedom]

That was amazing O_O

[SuperColossal33]

So why do I have a CD version of this with normal epica songs like Sensorium, Never Enough, etc...but there are only videos of the classical songs on youtube.

did they make a DVD of this?

[fnglert]

No.

[CthulhusErbe]

No, unfortunately they didn't.

[LifeExit]

A shame they didn't release this on the CD =(

[r4xNW]

yeeah?!! WTF?!! WHYY!!!

[KataTurunen]

this is amazing!

i felt bad for not being there.

xD

[moggio666]

Great music !!

tnx for post

[demonxcy]

this is malakia

[LetMeBeMe]

this is sou gamw thn panagia

[sgaytergothic]

They play one our of classik songs togheter wiht the band. Then they play a whole epica-concert togheter wiht the ochrestra and the chior. The songs sounds more bombastic and shows the true epcica-sound! It was unbelieveble!!!!

[occidente]

Amazing but... I can not hear the guitars, where are they??

[6ixpoint5ive]

wait so was only the classical song done w/ the orchestra??

or did they play their songs w/ orchestra as well?

[BurningBarefoot]

AWESOME!!!! can't figure out what exactly this whole show is and I really really wish there was a DVD of it. If anyone knows of a way to view this whole concert please let me know

[xgloomydestinyx]

THIS IS AMAZING
