Looking for new music

[xofivebyfive]

I need some suggestions as to music for my new program. It's going to be for ISI FS3 if anyone cares, and I'd really love to skate to something soft and sort of balletic if you know what I mean because I seem to really enjoy skatin to that kind of music. I wouldn't mind music from movie soundtracks if you can think of any that would be nice. I'm 16 so I think it should be more mature than the mary poppins song or something like that. A good example is the theme from the movie Dreamer. I'm considering that but I'd really like some more options. If anyone has any input, I'd be glad to give it a try. Thanks! :)

Some I've skated to that are lyrical:

The Swan from the carnival of the animals,
the soundtrack (theme song) from the TV show Beauty and the Beast,
Elgar's Enigma variations,
Theme from movie "Somewhere in time",
Theme from "on Golden Pond"
Vaughan Williams, the Lark Ascending,
Borodin's "In the Steppes of Central Asia" (Love that one, it's a piece that has to be skated to!).

Enjoy.

flo I was listening to those songs and while they were pretty, they just weren't like.. soft and sweet like what I'm looking for.

My first program was to the slow part of Rachmaninoff Concerto #2. For "soft" movie soundtracks, you could try "Forrest Gump" (Katy Taylor skated to that last year) or "Prince of Tides", or "Legends of the Fall (although that is used a lot).

I've always liked the "Out Of Africa" slow section that skaters used to use in the 80s.

Check out THIS SOUNDTRACK (http://www.amazon.com/10th-Kingdom-TV-Score/dp/samples/B00004NH99/ref=dp_tracks_all_1/102-4714834-9333747#disc_1).
It's from a terrific TV miniseries called "The Tenth Kingdom."

I loved the series, but was disappointed in the music - it's too soft and dainty for my tastes. (Perfect on the Show, however.)
You might like the songs since you're looking for "soft and dainty." (Absolutely no offense intended.)

OK you want a really sweet song - try Saint Saen's Carnival of the animals Aquarium - it is exquisite harp music http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/liebe/p050.gif
