Carmina Burana, O fortuna is my all time favourite.


EDIT : You guys might prefer this one set to scenes from the movie Excalibur. O Fortuna was written by Carl Orff, and is sung in Latin.

If you're familiar with Dead Can Dance, you must know of the Ron Fricke movies Baraka, Koyaanquatsi, etc.

If so, we have more than a lot in common.

Next thing you'll be telling me that you like Single Gun Theory!
