O Fortuna

[jazzy_dave]

After my breakfast ,and doing the usual chores of a wash and a wet shave, I splashed on some after shave lotion (not Brut though or Old Spice, but one from Armani) and this tune popped into my cranial crevices and stayed there well after the event. So with judicious humming i shall share the track with you. from Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" .- O Fortuna.

This clip has paintings of  J.M.W.Turner as well. . Enjoy, and may you have good fortune today.

Ah, Turner. My ancestor! Don't worry, I am descended from Joshua Reynolds, too.

BTW, I'm not a bragger, I just state facts sometimes.

That must have been some powerful aftershave. lol.....

The "chanting" around the 1:40 mark sounds so familiar. Any chance you know if it was use in the movie Elizabeth or some other movie like that?

Well I remember it from an old TV ad for Old Spice

Excalibur. It was used in Excalibur as well. That's where I remember it from.

It's been used for ominous mystical events in a ridiculous number of things.

I love "Carmina Burana" and was so pleased that you had the long clip instead of the many which cut off about half-way in. The Turner paintings were just the icing on a grand cake.

Seeing the Turner pics alone are worth playing the video.
