If you've got a programme, what music are you using this season?

If you haven't got a programme, what music would you choose if you could skate to anything?

I wish I was good enough to skate to Moonlight Sonata.

I'm really struggling to find 1.5 mins of music.
I don't want something I can't do any justice, and I have to like the tune itself.
The music I like all seems to be too "samey" or too "advanced" for me to skate to.

Good thread!

I am skating to Water Music. I would like to do an interpretive to Limelight (the chaplin piece) but I can't find a good recording!! My other interpretive thought I am not doing either, but that would be the scarecrow "If I only had a brain" ;-)

Hugs!!

I'm skating to Gershwin, Rhapsody in Blue

My freestyle is to Gershwin, Mexican Dance.

Dani, a couple of years ago I skated to Limelight (I picked it before I saw Bereznaya and Sikharulidzeskating to it, in fact). I found it on a set of CDs I picked up really cheap...they were called something like "Movie Themes of the 50s, 60s, and 70s."

Oops, this was supposed to be a PM ;-)

I'm skating to a Mozart piece from the soundtrack of the movie Amadeus. I love the music (it took a long time to find) but there's not a whole lot of rest time in the 2:40. It's very dramatic and strong music - I hope I'm up to it

My free programme is to the Addams Family soundtrack, I really like this music and its a lovely programme as well.

Elgar's Enigma Variations and Barber's Adagio for Strings.

"Enishi Enishi" by Toshiro Masuda. It's a piece from one of my favorite anime series.

Flo, I love your music! Which of the Variations are you using?

Dani, I tried to respond to your PM but your inbox was full.

Hi Loops,
I'm using Nimrod, and a bit of Dorabella. I heard the music, and knew I wanted to skate to it!

Great idea! lol

My short program is "Leyenda" by Vanessa Mae and my freeskating is "Turandot" also by Vanessa Mae. I guess I like her music!

i am skating to the james bond theme tune. i think it has a very cool beat!

I like James Bond music too....My daughter has a cool short program to Austin Powers music, and it's very "Bond-ish". I'd love to steal her music, but I could never do it justice the way she does!

I'm skating to American Beauty, the motion picture score. I love the music, it's just weird enough to be different.

Novice Short - "Leyenda" Vanessa Mae
Novice Long - "Sapphire", "Que Viva" and another selection from the CD "Viva La Guitarra" Vehkarvaara and Simone

my current fs is a compilation of music from the "life is beautiful" soundtrack. i'll use similar music for my artistic bronze (theme- young girl at her first ball). for my artistic silver i plan on using either fever or "el tango de roxanne" (moulin rouge) theme - obsession. gold - schindler's list, theme - despair. what do you guys think?

Interesting topic! My freeskate program is "Danse Espagnole" from Swan Lake; my compulsory program is "Interlude," (from Nelson's 1991 "After the Rain" album...anyone remember them?); my artistic entertainment is "These boots are made for walkin", and my artistic dramatic is "To where you are", by Josh Groban.

I'm skating to "Manha de Carnaval" from Black Orpheus...

Skating to - Prince of tides for short p and Jurrassic park for long P

And Melanieuk..............I have seen you skate and it will be a long time before you can find music you can justice lol kidding tee hee,

Success is never lasting Failure is never final - Little Girls In Pretty Boxes , Movie

Well KwanRainbow......what about these?
Could I skate to these?

What about "Like a Virgin" by Madonna? (clearly NOT as I have 2 children)
Or the Birdie Song? (that about matches my skating ability, no?)
Or The Oompah Loompah song? (room for interpretation of bad adult skating)
I could steal Dani's one - The Scarecrow (If I only had a brain?)
Or Mission Impossible (to find Mel's music)

I haven't seen MelanieUK skate and I am sure that she is quite good! I do think that the Oompah Loompah song could be cool, I didn't think of that when I was scouring for an interpretive song. It is too late for me to register at AN this year, but I call Limelight for Adult Interp next year!! ;-)

I am going to try to put together a chaplinesque program which I hope will be lots of fun! Maybe I can debut it next year at the Peach!

Hugs!!

I'm skating to music from the soundtrack of the truman show... I only have a free program, it is 2:30 mins long for pre-juvenile...
