Sibelius Symphony #2!

I'm not quite sure who could pull it off though...

 

[Joesitz (RIP)]

Ah Sibelius. I loved driving through the New England country side in the Spring, in an open convertible listening to his Symphony #2, and NO I do not think anyone in skating today could use it.

I believe a skater or choreographer has to agree: 1. the music is skateable. 2. how to splice it down to the rules of the ISU. 3. question whether the skater has the emotional interpretation (happy, sad, majestic, ethereal, etc.) towards the music. and 4. which we do not know is, if the Judges have a personal distaste for the music.

Once that is decided, is it worth going against the tried and true (Carmen, Tosca, Roti R&J, etc.)? There is risk. much of the CoP is not quantifiable but opinionated. It's not just pretending to be an acrobatic ballerina. There is a sport going on as well.

Here is the Finnish Dance team of Rahkamo/Kokko skating to Sibelius:

Does anyone recall any singles skaters using music of Sibelius?

Could Laura pull it off? I think she is one of the more expressive skaters.........

That reeks of trainwreck, but it might as well be awesome. I've never been more excited to see Brian's program.

 

[Olympia]

Joubert doing Malaguena? That could work out really well. He's got the bold personality to pull it off, and he's good at footwork.

 

[Tinymavy15]

Malagueña alhough often used by skaters is a step out of te box for Brian. I have no idea what this is going to look like, it could be hot mess, very good or background music but I am keeping an open mind. Personally I love this piece and understand why is keeps being picked year after year.

 

[dorispulaski]

Okay, I'll start and sticky the new programs thread.

Yeah, it's like Scheherezade--a rich, evocative piece. I know we all complain that some pieces are done to death, but there's a reason for it. As many times as I've seen West Side Story used, it always pulls me in.

I've never heard this piece of music and just followed this link out of curiosity. It gives a very Lark Ascending vibe to it; perhaps Yu-na could skate to it, as a more mature "Lark Ascending" per say? :3

 

[rtureck]

Berlioz: Harod in Italy for Patrick Chan. It is a full symphony, I think a choreographer who knows how to select nice sections from this symphony will serve as a wonderful vehicle for Chan to express his style/ and artistry

 

[Olympia]

Ooh, I love the idea of Harold in Italy! That third movement: so majestic.

 

[ayayukiituka]

I found Vivaldi's spring playing the piano.
Here it is.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5hR8ojqE&feature=channel
This performance is like breezing,so I suggest it to Mao,who is fresh on the ice

love Carolina's music all the time,so I try to look for the piece foe her.
How about Johann Strauss Jr's Wine, Women and Song?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV5JBrRZvTE&feature=related sounds Mirai could do well,too.

Or Eugene Onegin Opera - Waltz by Tchaikovsky? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz7JREul22g&feature=related

 

[Jaana]

I have no specific music in mind, but would love to see Lysacek skating to Tango or Paso Doble...

 

[Meli_Huber]

I like that soundtrack very much!

No special skater, but it ist something new and not always the same old music choices!

Mirai's skating her SP to "Witches of Eastwick"

 

[Olympia]

Ooh, isn't The Witches of Eastwick by John Williams? Yes, it is...I just checked. That should be good.

 

[dorispulaski]

I'd like to see somebody dance to the Dropkick Murphy's Tessie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVC9b0K1Iis

That's a program that at least I would find "uplifting"

 

[silverlake22]

Mirai's skating her SP to "Witches of Eastwick"

Wow, that should be interesting. Can't wait to see it!

 

[Layfan]

What, Mirai didn't take any of our suggestions???

Well, this is one of my most beloved pieces and here's a stunning rendition:

It could be cool for an SP. Maybe for Mao or Laura Lepisto.
