they know which pieces the judges know, and like... and accept... sometimes it's not worth the risk.

Sometimes, choreographers assign skaters music. Lori Nichol is VERY insistent on skaters using her music choice. IMHO, I feel like she choreographs better programs to music that she choosed. Case in point, Joannie's Aranjuez to Kimmie's concierto mix this season.
Other times, skaters have limited musical knowledge and I'm thinking of Evan, who stated that it's difficult to find classical music because he doesn't listen to classical music. I think it's rubbish. Film scores are music and I'm sure he likes watching films.
Or maybe, skaters actually like the boring pieces of music or it meant something special to them. IIRC, I think Sasha did Malaguena to pay tribute to Kristi because she admired her?

yes but a lot of people watch films and don't pay attention to the music underneath. They don't appreciate it until it's gone.
I love many of the choices listed above. I'd like to thrown in my vote to "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir". I love that music and think it would be great for someone.

"The Thin Red Line" has some great tracks
Also, who skated to this, its a them from "Platoon". It sounds so familiar and beautiful.

I forgot about this music... very macho and cool. LOVE IT!
Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I always liked the soundtrack of Peter Greenaways "The draughtman's contract" by Michael Nyman.
There is a piece on it titled "Chasing sheep is better left to the sheperd"
biggrin: - no joke!) which I always thought would be great to skate to. As far as I know it was not done till now, but maybe I missed something.

I enjoy picturing how Fedor Andreev would skate to "The Heart Asks For Pleasure First" from "The Piano" soundtrack with Jeffrey Buttle's choreography

I also hope someone in the future considers using the score from the "Rome" HBO series. I think that would be a very interesting choice.

or as a tangent from delobel/schoenfelder's success with michael nyman's the piano - GATTACA?!
p.s. nothing from slumdog millionaire- if people thought D/W were robbed at worlds....desplat was robbed at the oscars...SM OST is...not music

Uh oh. I was going to suggest the ending song from Slumdog Millionaire, Jai Ho

I love the music from A Little Princess and Pocahontas but it's probably too hard to skate to music from children's films and still seem mature!
The endings of these pieces of music are very beautiful and powerful:
A Little Princess: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx77UN7JoW
Pocahontas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvKZdLFc8OA
