Ode to Love?
on: February 25, 2006, 12:49:20 AM
I guess a couple of musical friends of mine had been watching the women's free skate for the olympics and were really impressed with the music that a Canadian (?) woman skated to? "Ode to Love" or something of the sort?

I wouldn't really care except that it was mentioned to me twice in the same day, and when two high schoolers can focus enough to mention the exact same thing more than once, it must be worthy of note.

Anywhere I could find the sheet music for this? Does anyone even know what I'm talking about?

No, it is called Ode to Love as pianobabe said, and I couldn't understand who the composer is.  I actually heard it playing and instantly wanted to learn it  :-[

 I can't even remember what the darn Event on a whole was called, but surely they must deliver Credits at the end of the show, or Credit on there site to the composer. I would investigate, but I ain't got a clue what to PUNCH in to google to begin the quest.

 The Internet Movie Database also deals in more then movies, pretty much everything, you might hit it lucky looking for the Credits on there... infact I bet someone asked the same question in the forum they have :)

hmmm... well, okay.  I actually did google the title  :-[, and the wording is too general (and brings up a lot of other stuff) and then I tried combinations of the title and music and blah blah blah...  anyway, I will look on the Olympic site (is there one ?, I guess I will find out).

I am confessing my cheesy title side.

nbcolympics.com lists in Joannie Rochette's profile that:

"Her free skate music is a classical version of "L'Hymne a l'Amour," or "Hymn to Love," written by the legendary French singer Edith Piaf."
