One of our choirs at UNL last year did Carmina Burana. It is a LONG piece, but it is really beautiful. I've been wanting a show choir to do Carmina Burana for years now and so I'm really excited to see what North Central did with it. Of course, it's going to be vocally great, but there is the huge challenge of adding movement to this piece, and incorporating it into a show.
Greece Athena did it in 2003, with very interesting staging and movement.
Sorry, "O Fortuna" came about long before 300 It is part of "Carmina Burana," which first came about as a collection of poems(including topics such as God, love, drinking, gambling, sex, etc.) written by students and clergymen back in the day(approx. 1230) to satirize the Church. During the Nazi occupation of Germany, Carl Orff took these poems and set them to music as one, big, multi-movement piece.
We're trying to keep our stuff off of Youtube for the moment, as not to spoil anything before Chicago ;) They'll be on sometime around or after FAME.

As for what happened in earlier pages of this topic...... I am REALLY REALLY disappointed in the lack of maturity coming from members of the SCC Community. It is one thing to get into a fight on these forums about choirs and all the stuff we normally discuss in these forums, but you all brought up something that did not need to be discussed in the main forums. It should have been kept to a private message, or an e-mail, or a phone call, or instant message. Why include all of us in your own personal issues? Please don't next time.

I'm aware about Carmina Burana - i was just trying to reference something that people would recognize more readily.

I imagine it will be on youtube in the near future.
It's one of those songs where the DVD really does give an accurate presentation of the show. So . . . no worries.
I do recall reading somewhere that NC does "O Fortuna" at one point in time during their set. When I think of 300 and any other major combat scenes in movies this song definitely comes to mind.

So . . . . .
HOW 'BOUT THAT NORTH CENTRAL OPENER?!?!
It was from the movie 300, and probably countless other combat scenes in other movies.
It was vocally amazing.
Anyone have anything to say ABOUT THE COMPETITION?
*COUGH*
Thanks for putting this topic back on the right track.
What is this "300" song called? I can't wait to see it at FAME Chicago.
