Women's Figure Skating Music

[Double High C]

Did anyone notice that Vileena Maniachencko of Ukraine skated to Schindler's List (in A minor)? (She finished around 11th.)

Was that song written for the movie, or is it perhaps an old classical piece that anyone who knows anything about classical music should know of from before?

(Hey, I still refer to Pachebel's Cannon as Ordinary People.)

John Williams was responsible for the Schindler's List score. I don't know how much was original and how much was arrangement of existing music, though.

I thought that was Schindler's List. Didn't see the movie but it was burned into my brain during the Oscar telecast.

Skating is such a biased sport. Everybody knows going in that the judges are only going to give high marks to a predetermined few. You can hear it in the announcer's voices as you watch a non-contender perform a mistake-free program -- "Oh yes, that's very nice, not the most exciting performer, but she's done herself proud" and other back-handed compliments. It's ironic that Scott Hamilton and company get all upset about the pairs judging when they're so clearly in synch with the pre-judging that takes place.

You mean Oskar, of course. :smile:
