Pangor , when you said you like "Old man river" did you mean te original version from "Show boat". I'm loving this song <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> Ia the original version the singer (sorry I don't remember his name) sings with emotions, with passion like he really know what is to be slave. And of course the choir is wondrful...(I'm fond of choirs.. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" /> )

Yes, that is the one. <br /> <br /> Have you ever seen the movie Excaliber? Most of the music was derived from Wagner. One effect I like in the movie is when Aruther and his remaining knight ride for the confontation with Modred. The choir chant combined with the dead trees that come into bloom just as they pass by them is incredible. It is as though life itself is radiating into the land from Arthur. <br /> <br /> Some other music I just remembered: <br /> Klendathu Drop <br /> <br /> Pangor

Give me a break. I remember.

About songs, it should be interesting to know what is your overall favourite song, like asked by erenda and the tile and author of you favourite local song , in your language if they are not the same. <br /> <br /> (So Tormie will find it and then listen <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" alt="" /> ) <br /> <br /> I've not already decided what is my overall favourite song, even if for a long period of my teen age it was "wanted dead or alive" of Bon Jovi <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/icon_redface.gif" alt="" /> but actually is difficult to say... <br /> <br /> But my favourite italian singer is Vasco Rossi and his "Vita Spericolata" <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" alt="" />

By the way does somebody know does the European union have the right to use "Ode to hapiness" as a hymn? There have to be some copyrights.. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" />

I know that after some time the song's copyright is no more valid, I red something about Beatles songs <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" /> ...

The old standard was Copyrights lasted (depending on the country) until fifty to seventy five years years after the death of the creator, then it become public domain. That is why I was able to use the portraits of Gallieo and Copernicus in After the Evening. In recent times there have been changes to these law to unify them across more countries. I believe that older works are still bound by the law at the times of their creation. But all I have found about the new laws have been commentaries and none of it definifitive. <br /> <br /> As inappropriate as the music is for the EU anthem, Beethoven's 9th is fair game. Although about fifteen years ago, Microsoft published a recording of it along with a program that was to provide an interactive education of that music. They then held a legal copyright on their recording of it, however, they tried to claim ownership of the complete work itself, demanding royalties for any performance of any arrangement of Beethoven's 9th or any recitation of the poem that the fourth movement was based on. <br /> <br /> Other than I am certain that they lost, I have never discovered the details of the result of their effort. I read at the time that they were going to treat the entire corpus of Bethoven's works that way and then do same with Bach. <br /> <br /> Pangor <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Pangor
