Skateable, Never-Before-Used Music

[whatif]

I saw La La Land tonight and thought the final sequence is a perfect dance routine. Someone like V/M could do great job interpreting it, me think.

Below are some ideas that I have always had - but I'm not 100% sure that these pieces of music have never been used.

George Frederic Handel - Overture to "The Messiah"

Modest Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition

Vaughan Williams - Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis

James Horner - Theme from Cocoon

top tier skaters have skated to it too, someone just this season skated to it (or perhaps it was last season but pretty sure it was this season). cant remember who though, it was cringey.

Do you mean Anastasia Galustyan's short programme last season (appropriately enough skating to namesake music)? Can't say I found it cringey...

I don't think it's been used before but I might be wrong:
"Spreading Wings" by Gabriel Yared

This would need someone like Jason Brown or Kolyada imho.

"Pictures at an Exhibition" was indeed used, but not very often as it seems:

I have a feeling this won't be never-skated-before music for long.

I share your feeling...but I hope it doesn't begin the new "I put a spell on you" during the Olympic season.

I would love ice dancers to skate to "Across the stars" and "Pride and prejudice"; they are famous scores from beloved movies so they could be a good vehicles in the Olympic year. Also, "The theory of everything" has a very good soundtrack!

I wonder if parts of Mozart's Piano Concerto no. 20 (1st mov) could be used? Maybe not. It has a lot of fun moments, but it's long, so a lot of the best musical moments would be lost.

Heh, reading this thread I just remembered that when I first got interested in figure skating after watching Yuzuru's SP for Sochi (it stood out because I just happened to have been learning Parisienne Walkways on guitar at the time), I thought "ohhh, wouldn't it be great to see someone skate to Rach's 2nd piano concerto?" It only took me a few seconds of googling to realize that everyone and their dog had already done it haha.

Suzanne by L. Cohen - extremely skateable, but only for galas! Preferably by Kaetlyn Osmond.

US ice dancers Kaitlyn Hawayek / Jean-Luc Baker skated to "The Theory of Everything" soundtrack.

And my beloved Orford/Hill also skated to its for their FD

 

[invisiblespiral]

Has anyone skated to the Spotlight OST? I think it'd make for a good, abstract program...

I enjoyed their skating and was sad when they split

Has anyone skated to Star Trek Voyager theme song? I think this is quite adventurous, triumphant, somewhat nostalgic, overall great. As is, it is too short so it needs to be meshed with something else though.

Priceless...... I haven't seen anyone use Voyager but, I have used the TNG opening. I had a dancer who looked exactly like "Tasha Yar" and we did a "Novelty" star trek routine. I loved it.

You know what song I think would be great for a ladies SP. Sail Away by Enya :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zkjQVh5KmQ

LOL Now that you mentioned it, I wouldn't mind some lady does a routine with Seven of Nine caracter. ;D TNG opening is not bad either, but it screams 'Star Trek' whereas Voyager could go unnoticed.
