Excalibur Music/Soundtrack?

Greetings!

Ahhggggg! I was just listening to Jim Ladd's radio program, "Headsets" on 95.5 KLOS here in Southern California, and he played this one song/theme, that I am almost certain is from the soundtrack of the movie "Excalibur". It is all gothic sounding, and I believe it is played during scenes when the knights are riding out of Camelot to do battle.

Does anyone have any idea what the name of the song I am talking about is?

Just thought I would ask, because it is a very cool track. Jim Ladd interspliced quotes from the movie "Excalibur" in between various songs throughout the program, which he also included a song from Loreena Mckennit. Very cool programme by the way!:)

Thanks!

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

The only part of the Excalibur soundtrack I know, and I'm pretty sure it's the only part that most people know, is O Fortuna from Orff's Carmina Burana. This is probably what you heard. You can get 1,001 versions of it from the classical shelves at your local music store.

O Fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem,
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.

Sors immanis
et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata
et velata
michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.

...


Why, there must be dozens of nifty character names in there!

I thought there was some Wagner in Excalibur as well... the Lohengrin or Tristan and Isolde

And, for whatever reason, people seem to confuse Orff's "O Fortuna" with the Conan the Barbarian score. Excellent score, by the way...

Gotta love Carmina Burana, played during sooooo many good chase and battle scenes. Personally I play it for good luck, like when I am behind in a game. :)
