Pavane by Fauré - The Wimbledon Choir Society (BBC WORLD CUP FRANCE '98)

Pavane by Fauré - The Wimbledon Choir Society.
This was used as the theme tune for BBC's coverage of the 1998 World Cup. Couldn't find it anywere on here so hopefully the people looking for a decent choir version will think this is suitable.

If you want the mp3, then send me a message on here and i'll happily email it to you.

AFTER 15 VIDEOS OR SO LOOKING FOR THIS VERSION, I'VE ALREADY FIND IT!!!!

THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH, matty7b37!!!!!!

[matty7b37]

quite ok :-)

This version is too biaised towards the choir and perverts the music score (which besides it is not clear and hard to hear), but it is understandable, provided the target public. If it aims the goal to approach the classical music to the grand mass, maybe Fauré could accept it exceptionnally...

[KindredKunoichi]

Awwww!! This is so beautiful, it was played at several family members funeral, I have always tried to find it through Xzibit's - Paparazzi sample....mean nothin'? Meh.....Tres powerful!!! (& morbid, makes me cry everytime)!!!

@emncaity You are quite right, except for the key change? The instruments are pervertid, but no key change. And I do not consider this version as popularized at all. I came into it by hazard, and I was somewhat horrified initially, but outside the UK it is not popular at all, thanks God!

@cives

Ugh. I understand what you're saying, but...first of all, key matters; each key has a specific color to it, a specific feel, and the key change affects everything. Secondly, the arrangement is so in-your-face and popularized--and for no apparent reason, IMHO, since invariably the public loves the original version anyway. Maybe I'm just prejudiced against unnecessary updating and attempts at "relevance," or whatever, but the original needs no changing.

Quite the best arrangement of Fauré I've heard - the emphasis on the voices and the little bits of horn are fantastic. I've come over a bit emotional hearing this! Lovely stuff
