Thread Name: So What's YOUR Entrance Music?
Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music?
WOW folks, you got some grear entrance music going on! Speaking entrance music, here a bit of "exit music." John mentioned "Va Pensiero"(The Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves) from Guiseppe Verdi's opera "Nabucco." When Verdi died, an estimated 20,000 people attended his funeral. As this humongous funeral train began the walk to the cemetery, I single voice started to sing "Va Pensiero." Soon all 20,000 took up the chorus as Verdi was marched to his final resting place. What a way to go! MAN!! What I would do to have hear the twenty thousand vioces singing Verdi home..."Go thought on golden wings..."
