Overtüre from Willhelm Tell (by Rossini) for the short program!!!! Thank you, Stéphane, thank youuuuu! I would have forgiven him a warhorse, or elevator music - but I am very glad that there is nothing to forgive, this music choice is brilliant, creative, different.
(and makes me think of a Zebra cartoon with an apple)

Huh? William Tell overture creative and different? Is there any more over-exposed music? I hope Stephane doesn't end up reminding judges of Saturday morning cartoons.http://www.stephanelambiel.ch/journal/?p=419

It's definitely not overused in skating - it was sometimes used as a part of an Opera / Operette - medley so far in skating, but not too often. And the last program with this kind of ta-da music was Lysacek with Carmen among the men, so I think it's quite different.

This is good! I can't wait to see the program.

Laura says that her LP will be an Argentine tango. You can see how she's practicing in summer camp and listen to some of the music in this video.

"A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty, 'Hi-ho, Silver!' The Lone Ranger (or is it Old Shatterhand?) rides again!"
The William Tell (4th movement) was the famous theme music of the Lone Ranger radio program, possibly the most popular radio show in U.S. history. It aired for 2956 episodes from 1933 to 1954. They broadcast live from a studio in Detroit, and they had a little studio orchestra that accompanied the action with rousing classical music from Wagner, Liszt, Beethoven, etc. They used all the classical war horses because not only did the house musicians already know how to play them, but also they were in the public domain so the show did not have to pay royalties.
When the Lone Ranger finally went off the air in 1954, the spot was taken (locally in Detroit anyway) by the Milky the Clown show. Milky's theme music -- the almost-as-famous third movement of the William Tell.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto OTOH moved to TV, where the show was run till 1957.
The William Tell was always the theme song.
In fact, the show was so popular that one comedian joked that a true culture vulture was a person who could hear the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger.

But what will the costume look like?
Seriously though i cannot wait to see what these programmes look like.
I'm joining in the debates a bit late but surely Medusa will know - will Stephane be doing any of the GPs?

Stephane is eligible, because he's ranked 21st in the world (one behind Dai, and just ahead of Adrian Schultheiss). But he didn't announce his decision in time, so he got no assignments. Still, he could get invited for a TBA spot or if someone WDs.
I'm underwhelmed by his music choices. Another tango is the last thing I want to see, even if it is Stephane. And can't he re-work Blood Diamond for the SP? He barely got to skate it, and did so badly at 2007 Worlds. I want to see it performed well.

Denney/Barrett's LP music is "Scheherazade" according to this article:http://web.icenetwork.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090803&content_id=6225474&vkey=ice_news

Not the best choice for Denny and Barrett. They do not have the artistry needed for that music. But I will never get tired of Sherezade.
I see why POTO could be a logical choice and I’m sure D&W can perform a wonderful program to it…Its more that I just don’t see ANY FD choice being better than their Samson & Delilah, which was so perfectly choreographed, interpreted and presented that multiple critics called it their “meal ticket,” which it was and rightly so. Part of me hopes that they revert back to it as a surprise, I have watched it on loop many times and never tire of it.

SP: Liszt's music played by Maksim Mrvica
LP: Charlie Chaplin

I love the music choices, especially Chaplin. The Kid, The Chaplin Revue, The Rink, The Gentleman Tramp, Charlie's Dance... A lot of great tracks to choose from, in all flavours: from lyrical, through grandiose, to comical.
SP: I guess either Totentanz or Hungarian Rhapsody no.2 - probably Totentanz, considering the blog update. Great music for an Olympic program, I just hope the arrangement will be good this time. :yes:

I recorded Shawn Sawyer, Ian Martinez and Paul Poirier's SPs at the Quebec Summer Championships yesterday evening, but I don't recognize any of the music. I posted the URLs to their performances here: http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showpost.php?p=408890&postcount=22
Shawn Sawyer kept his LP from last year (I watched the men's free skate earlier today), which is set to the "Amadeus" soundtrack.
