But I came here to post these recommendations:
(check them out, promise you won't be disappointed)

Time's Scar

Prisoners of Fate + To Far Away Times (first 4 minutes in this Chrono Trigger medley---which actually a lot of this could be used for skating)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSKtZf-CUYU

^the last part when "To Far Away Times" mixes with "Prisoners of Fate" can be re-edited to loop 1 more time, making the song ~ 4:00.
I've done it myself because I prefer to hear that part play one section longer.


BoA- Every Heart (orchestra version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdvazuKUU6Y

^I've always liked that song

Ha, what do you know. Apparently Kevin Reynolds used a lot of that Chrono Trigger Medley I posted in 2012. Learn something new every day I guess. :)

Longing:

There's a lot more songs than those but that's a good start.

Probably my favorite one is Kikyo no Kokoro:

Starwars anyone?

Yes! I would love to see a skater (male or female) use The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme), or Anakin's Theme, or any of the music from the movies. In fact, anything John Williams has scored would be a welcomed relief from the flirty prostitutes, dying swans, and heartbroken village girls that I've seen skated to over the years.

Bach's cello song done by Yo-Yo Ma. It's a busy piece of music, but I think it would make a great short program for a very strong skater. Sorry for the strange vid, but this is my favorite version:

Is this the one Joshua Farris used for his SP last season? (Sorry, Youtube's not opening on my computer right now, so I can't check.)

Tchaikovsky's Ballet work for Onegin.
Gorgeous and the music at the end of the ballet has some serious footwork potential for a skate who knows what they're doing like Michelle or Mao. The whole piece of music is great - but I've set it up nearer the end where the meatier music kicks in:

And then around 6:30 is when Michelle would have hit her last lutz and just flown... but I digress...
Meryl and Charlie would also be divine to this music.

Jeffrey Buttle once used the intro to Wagner's Tristan und Isolde in the Glen Gould program even though he dropped it later. It's one of my favorite pieces of music. Would love to see someone like Patrick take it and run.

Passacaglia for Violin by Biber

Takes my breath away. A piece I hope to use someday soon in my own work.

I could totally see Ashley Wagner skate to The Piano Guy's "Rockelbel's Canon (Pachelbel's Canon in D) - 4 Cellos"... it gives her both that "classic skating song" but the power and fire that is perfect for her... not sure if it'd work for a competitive program so much... but I think it could!

That's actually really cool! I had never heard this. Thanks! :)
To be honest, I was kinda hoping Carolina Kostner would use this music for her last season.
To me, it would have been "completing the circle" for Carolina since she burst onto the big scene with it in 2003 and used a slightly different version of it again in 2007 and everybody knows she'll end her career after this. :cry:
I still liked the lightness of the 2003 version best. :agree:

While we're at it:
Since I had never heard of Lukas Kaugars (USA) before, I checked him out .
That was a beautiful instrumental arrangement to Hallelujah.
I'd love to know what exact version that is - or if someone arranged it just for him.

edit: look at that! lil' Frenchie found it out all by himself! :jaw: "Hallelujah by Robin Olson" :) Loved it.

*making a happy face*

Lukas and Timothy Dolensky are my favourite non-bye skaters :)

I keep forgetting Lukas is a clocky though. Then my eyes boggle when he goes the wrong way. :laugh:

I love that SP for him, and the costume is so nice too, elegant and understated.
