End of the World Theme

[solidpeter91]

What is that end of the world theme that is always played like when its "the end of the world". I really want to find that theme. it's played osmetimes in the trailers of movies. I hope someone can help me =D

I'm not too sure if we're on the same wavelength here as I dont know what trailers you on about. But is it REM end of the world as we know it -

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

Do you mean that slow, classical piece? "Daa da da-da da da-da-da da da-daaah" I think it's called the funeral march but I can't remember who composed it. Possibly Chopin but I'm not sure.

Perhaps you mean O Fortuna from Carmina Burana by Orff - listen to sample here

it's the first track "O Fortuna"

[Machecoul]

I think it goes

Dum Dum de-dum, dum de-dum, de-dum de-dum

In a deep voice.

solid just isnt ever gonna tell us and we'll never know. Aaaaaghhhh

[gazzawazza]

That's the one I was on about Machecoul!

[kags]

the music gazzawazza and Machecoul are talking about is definitely Chopin's funeral march - listen to sample 27 here

the suspense is unbearable - are you going to reply at all solidpeter91?

[Machecoul]

I thought you were Gazzawazza but it just needed to be a little deeper than Daa - a Dum is much deeper!

LOL

The End Of The World by Skeeter Davis (early sixties) probably isn't the one you're looking for, but it's well worth a listen.

[gazzawazza]

Aah, I see where the confusion lies, I must daa an octave lower than you! :o)
What we could do with is some form of written music, say on five lines with dots to indicate pitch and...

[4getmenot]

Well we're just never gonna know. Doesnt that wind you.

[Machecoul]

Gazzawazza - hey - you've got it - there could be money in that idea!

Enough of this frivolity - come on solidpeter91 - give us an answer.
