Therion - O Fortuna (Dolby Digital HD) "With Subtitles"

"O Fortuna" From Album "Deggial" is the ninth full-length musical album by Swedish Symphonic metal band Therion in 2000. As with many of Therion's other albums, Deggial features a choir and orchestra. Unlike their earlier release Vovin, which seemed to focus more on vocals, Deggial's style leans towards hard rock and sounds overall like Vovin with more atmosphere.

(Originally composed by Carl Orff)

"O Fortuna" is a medieval Latin Goliardic poem written early in the thirteenth century, part of the collection known as the Carmina Burana. It is a complaint about fate, and Fortuna, a goddess in Roman mythology and personification of luck.

In 1935/36, O Fortuna was set to music by the German composer Carl Orff for his cantata Carmina Burana where it is used as the opening and closing number. It opens on a slower pace with thumping drums and choir that drops quickly into a whisper building slowly into a steady crescendo of drums and short string and horn notes peaking on one last long powerful note and ending abruptly. A performance takes a little over two and a half minutes.

Orff's setting of the poem has become immensely popular and has been performed by countless classical music ensembles and popular artists. It can be heard in numerous movies and television commercials and has become a staple in popular culture, setting the mood for dramatic or cataclysmic situations. "O Fortuna" topped a list of the most-played classical music of the past 75 years in the United Kingdom.

nothing about hail satan. It's about fate and "fortuna" a mythological goddess. "oh fortune, like the moon, you are ever changing, always waxing or waning, detestable life. Now difficult and then easy, deceive a sharp mind. Poverty, power, it melts them like ice...." given that likely that isn't the exact words translated because there are so many different translations of latin now.

This is almost like the one winged angel theme. Both so epic

(english version continued part 2)

Thou dost withdraw my health and virtue;

thou dost threaten my emotion and weakness with torture.

At this hour, therefore, let us pluck the strings without delay.

Let us mourn together for fate crushes the brave.....

(the end)..
