How about the score from Penelope by Joby Tablot?
It's a bit princess-y but it's also comedic and whimsical.

I would love love love for someone to skate to Croutching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I love the movie & I love the music.
I did a couple years ago and it was a great and fun program (not that I am an elite skater by any means, but still). I loved it because I could use my martial arts training for arms and footwork and transitions and it was totally "me". It would have been good Elvis Stojko music. :agree:
If you are a CTHD music fan for a program, I'd also suggest Hero and House of the Flying Daggers (especially a piece called the Echo Game which would make a top notch footwork sequence).
I would also really like someone to skate to the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. There's so many different themes covering basically the whole spectrum of emotions there. Has anyone actually skated to it? I guess maybe I just haven't seen it before, but there are just so many possible music cuts to it that I can't believe elite skaters haven't used it yet.
Yes! Absolutely. We may disagree on skaters, but I'm with you on the LotR score, esp. RotK. Why are skaters not using it? The music is gorgeous and quite varied, there's so much to choose from... Maybe if the Zhangs did their LP to this they wouldn't seem so mechanical? Evan Lysacek could also use it for an LP, instead of trotting out another piece of music we have heard a million times. It would really suit his style of skating.Personally, I think the best music out of all of the Trilogy is from The Return of the King. From the first time I popped in the Soundtrack three weeks before the movie hit theatres, I have been wanting someone to skate to The White Tree. Otherwise known as The Lighting of the Beacons music. There's this one gigantic cresendo, it's when the camera goes flying over the mountain following the line of the beacons as they're set aflame. It just screams "Put huge throw/triple axel/quad here!!"
I hope the surgery goes well and that Aragorn's speech will be helpful...Which will come in handy on Thursday as I'm waiting to go into the OR for foot surgery. I'll have Aragorn's Speech from The Black Gate on repeat to try and keep my nerves in check.
Do we want to bet that he will use Rachmaninov's piano concerto 2 and / or 3 next season? He hasn't done that so far and he can produce a huge flaling orgy to one of the really dramatic parts.Evan Lysacek could also use it for an LP, instead of trotting out another piece of music we have heard a million times.

Ha - Wikipedia tells me that Evan already did Rachmaninoff 2 in 2003-4! On the other hand, he still hasn't done Swan Lake or The Nutcracker.Do we want to bet that he will use Rachmaninov's piano concerto 2 and / or 3 next season? He hasn't done that so far and he can produce a huge flaling
He already did that? Damn. Really, his music choices read about as interesting as Sasha Cohen's. He hasn't done Dark Eyes yet! That's another possiblity.Ha - Wikipedia tells me that Evan already did Rachmaninoff 2 in 2003-4! On the other hand, he still hasn't done Swan Lake or The Nutcracker.
Bring on Swanlake in a feathery white costume!
What, you don't think Evan could make this work?I don't think we'll ever have to worry about him wearing feathers... (then again after that ugly Bolero costume...)
I'd like to see someone REALLY USE Star Wars to its full potential... we've seen little bits of it thrown into a multi song program... Scott Hamilton used it for several years in with Swan Lake and a host of other intrumentals...
but I think the Theme from Star Wars (also known as Luke's Theme) could work on a really strong, confident and powerful skater or team... they wouldn't even have to go with a Star Wars look to the costume or choreography, IMHO.
